Take Advantage of the Opportunity of a Lifetime
Take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime, during the lifetime of the opportunity! I use this phase in my keynote program on Gourmet Living; I have coined it as a Thoreson Theorem. In each of our lives we all have special times or events that open the door to unique opportunities. They maybe a business that is taking off and bringing great rewards, or it could be a special time to share with old friends or relatives. The important aspect of the phase to recognize the “time” factor and the action of “taking advantage”, many times I have noticed individuals not recognizing how little we have in our lives or failing to take action, they simply exist.
While we can’t live our lives over again, we do have the freedom to do over the way we live our lives. Domino pizza faced quality control issues and they are now “doing over” their recipes and services. In Gourmet Living I speak often about creating a Menu for Life where each of us can choose a philosophy of how we want to live life and to create a “mantra” or theme that will carry you on your day to day life experiences. All of this becomes a Do-Over Recipe for Personal and Professional Success. Why is this important as we move into the last week of July?
Are you ready, excited and focused or are you feeling the blah’s? Last week I was interviewed on the topic of sales fatigue for Top Sales World www.TopSalesWorld.com . It is something I have noticed the last three and four months where sales leaders and salespeople are feeling the grind of the past 18-24 months and facing the next 5 months of exceeding sales quotas. If you or your sales team are simply showing up to work, you may need to consider Doing-Over your personal and professional goals, setting a new theme for your sales team for the next 5 months and simply increasing the motivational factor for your team. Gain what I like to call ‘fresh air”. Remember professional’s will do what amateurs fail to do, the little extra’s that make the difference in their performance. The YouTube video below discusses 3 words, And Then Some....These three words are the difference between average performers and top performers. I hope you enjoy the video, its 2 ½ minutes.

I hope you are excited and that everyone on your team takes advantage of the great opportunities that exist and their lives are all Gourmet.
