"Taking Action on
What We Know
"
Dear
Top Secrets Subscriber,
Last week I mentioned that there are two primary reasons that people fail to earn up to their potential:
-
They lack the specialized knowledge they need to perform as effectively as possible, or
-
They have the specialized knowledge they need, but fail act on that knowledge consistently.
Based on your feedback, it sounds like the failure to act is a problem for more people than the lack of specialized knowledge. Here are excerpts from some of the comments I received:
"I don't have the discipline to act on the knowledge consistently. I am distracted very easily."

"Like a lot of reps, I find myself in a reactive mode way too much. I'm generally pretty good at time management, but am cursed by e-mail, & other detailed back-office distractions. It's an endless battle, to say the least. I currently write $800-K+ in business, but feel it's a travesty that I'm not well over $1 million in sales at this point."
In the 21st century, distractions are all around us. E-mail, the Internet, hundreds of TV channels, satellite radio, iPods, etc. All distracting us. All telling us what to do. In many cases, we're just dealing with way too much input and not enough output.
Resolve this week to set aside some time, even if it's just an hour or two, to disconnect from all the input and focus on output. What do you need to do, to produce, to create? Who do you need to visit? What do you need to get done that you've been putting off? Information is great, but it is most valuable to us when we actually take the time to apply it.
