For the last decade I have approached my tactical business day by not looking at the entire full day. I have found it much easier to focus just on the A.M. day, have a mid-day break –I call it half-time. I then refocus on the P.M. day and finishing strong. Please watch my video as I explain other strategies to get the most out of your day.

Blocking Out & Focusing
Since we are all human there will be times that emotional distractions creep into our world. It could be a fight with your spouse, an intense client situation, or maybe your firm is attempting to screw you over in your mind. The point is, you cannot let these situations distract you from accomplishing your Daily Game Plan. It is always bad enough you have to pay the emotional price and sometime an economic price for this distraction. Do not compound it by adding an even larger economic cost by getting off your game. The ability to set rules for yourself when it comes to blocking out time and focusing is a key strategy. Stop for a second and remind yourself not to pay a larger price by getting distracted. It is always a great idea to take a 5 minute break, walk around and get yourself back in the zone. The ability to overcome adversity is key ingredient to maintaining consistency and success.

Your Office–Everywhere?
The last 10 years has brought about a revolution in technology worldwide. Although our industry is usually one of the last adapters of new technology, think (email, websites, and now social media). All of us can harness this technology to “un-tether” ourselves form our office. Some of you still believe that being in the office is a key to success. Today, being in the office has very little to do with reaching your goals. It’s all about your output and making your contacts. You need to have the technology set-up that will allow you to work remotely from anywhere, from your local Starbucks to Maui you need to be in a position to be in business. Why? it’s always a great idea to change things up. Feeling a little uninspired today, how about going to the local Starbucks grabbing a latte and making your client calls. Or as one of my clients does, head for the beach and watch the surf while he speaks with clients. The key is to experiment, get out of your box and add more fun into your business.

The Rules Have Changed When It Comes To Influencing Clients & Prospects
One of the challenges we have as an industry and I believe we do as professionals, is the set of tools that we are using to get the job done in terms of influence is antiquated. The concept of bringing a prospect in to our office, whether they are from a seminar, a referral, a cold call, etc and sitting down, finding out what they need technically and then going ahead and putting together a proposal. We then logically they go through their proposal, it sounds pretty good and they take action. That is the way it was until the fall of 2008. Then the last couple of year’s things changed. There is a lot of fear amongst investors and the old rules no longer really work. This also applies to your client base.
You have clients and sometimes you have to recommend they make changes in their investments. Most people will go ahead and make decisions emotionally and not logically. What we want to be able to do is really understand the human dynamics, the human syntax of decision making.
