Sometimes you just wish you had some hard candy
I’m heads down trying to knock out my Time Management chapter of my book. I’ve procrastinated on it, tried to delegate it, been distracted on it, lost momentum on it and finally when I sent my first pass last week to Naomi, my coach, she wrote back, “sounds like it’s time to focus on your time management.”
We are handed the lessons we are ready to learn. My life couldn’t be crazier right now and it’s time for me to put all the things I train about into practice and just walk my talk. I’m supposed to be the Time Management expert here and write something prolific, deep, insightful and powerful about this topic.
Plus, as I’m writing this chapter, I’m becoming more and more agiltated, anxious and just plain angry. Writing about how inside salespeople have such little control of their time upsets me- especially when there is a direct correlation to the way they manage their time and make quota. They are finally perceived as a vital part of the sales organization and with that comes new responsibilities and requests beyond their control.
They need to be heard, they need to rant about I say, they need some hard candy. Partly for comfort and lots of flavor- it calms the senses.
…And it’s all about time, how much you earn and how much you lose. Here’s a great “Clocks” video from ColdPlay
