Knock! Knock! .....Who's There?

On the very day that we were all starting our third quarter, I read a post over at Inside Sales Experts. I thought it ironic that the fourth quarter was knocking on the very first day of the third quarter. The article was all about how to make "them" successful. It was a great article, but what about you? You, the solopreneur. You the chief cook and bottle washer. You're having a hard enough time keeping your head above water, let alone thinking about using the 4th quarter to set up a good 2010. Let's get through July first! So, I've been letting the idea mellow. What can you do? Then it hit me. While I've been letting it mellow....While I've been dealing with the everyday....While I've been trying to get through July, half of the month passed by. One sixth of the quarter is gone. Before I know it, fourth quarter will be here and I'll still be trying to deal with the third quarter.
Sound familiar? I know.
Have you even thought about it? If nothing changes, how much will you EARN in 4Q09? Don't wish or hope. If nothing changes... So, if you could EARN $25,000 over and above that, not sell, EARN, bottom line, your money in your pocket. A $25,000 raise for 4Q09 and set yourself up to earn $100K+ additional in 2010. So, would you make the necessary changes right now? Would you want someone to hold you accountable? Would you want to be debriefed at the end of the day? Would you want help strategizing upcoming calls?
Tick. Tick. Tick. Knock. Knock. Third Quarter's passing. Fourth Quarter's coming!
Same old Same old or shall we do something different? Want my help? Let's talk this week and find a way.
