Write to learn, grow and improve.

Writing is, by far, the most powerful activity to help you grow, learn and progress in life.

Yes, more powerful than reading which is obviously also vital.

But writing, be it journaling, making plans or setting goals, leverages the power of absorption and intention.

Writing makes you consolidate what you have learned and helps the subconscious mind cristalise it.

Writing your goals everyday, for example, is a great way to reprogram your subconscious mind which was programmed until the age of 7 and which still carries the beliefs and the fears the world has instilled in you during your childhood.

When you write, you litterally write your destiny.

I do it every day.

I journal everyday, to let my brain elaborate on the experiences.

I make or fine tune my life and business plans everyday, to make sure I'm in the driving seat of my life.

I write my (wild, outrageous) goals everyday, to try and overwrite the limiting beliefs I had absorbed as a kid .
If you're too busy to write, I understand you, I felt the same for many years, except I realized I was so busy I let chance dictate the course of my life.

Writing is strategic and propadeutic to executing, the other way around just doesn't work

Fear of rejection is what stops too many people from pursuing opportunities and dreams.

I know how it feels....disempowering and terrifying.
It's a punishment, and what makes it worse is that it's self-inflicted.

This fear doesn't have to be there, and it can be stopped.

It's ok to be rejected, but it's not OK to lose your self-respect.

[DAILY SALES TIP]

No, you're not afraid of being rejected by clients, it's not their judgment that you fear but your own.

It's that voice inside your head that tells you that you have failed, that you're not good enough that scares you to death.

And so you stop trying, you slow down, you send an email instead of making a call, you give up pursuing an opportunity and even a dream.

You must know that that voice can be stopped, you can stop it.
It's self made, and it can be self eliminated.

Ultimately, you've been forgiving with anyone but yourself so you can start giving yourself a little break.

It's ok to be rejected.
It's ok to lose a sale.
It's ok to NOT be licked by a prospect.
It's ok to mess up a sales presentation.
It's ok to be below your sales quota.
It's NOT ok to lose your self respect.
Without it nothing works, nor life is worth living.
