Becoming a Pro


Greetings friends, welcome to this beautiful July 10:

Thought of the Day: BECOMING A PRO

As I reiterate, much of ALLIED EFFORT is about adding great value so that you can become part of a great team. When you attempt to add great value, you must go internal. If you want to become professional in your business, personal, spiritual, physical, athletic pursuits etc... develop professional habits. Two points.
I've attended some high school basketball events over the last two days, where some of the best players from all over the United States are showcasing their skills in front of college coaches. They all want to be pros.
Little do they know, what they need to do is develop professional habits in addition to their God Given Skill. Those two worlds need to mesh and evolve in order for them to fullfill their dreams. As they keep evolving, the greater importance on them developing not only physically, but mentally and spiritually( emotionally) as well. Yet that too is an attitude, that is started by Conscientious Thought. Disciplined thoughts, create disciplined actions, that results in disciplined people. Disciplined people are usually professional.
2nd Point. For all you people in the business world. How necessary is it for you to have a positive outlook amongst all the change and loss that has been stirred up over the past year and a half? 95 of all the people right now are caught up in the reality and not trying to figure out. Loss paper profit, loss of job etc... Everyone is complaining and reiterating how dire it is. The ones that perceive this as an opportunity, to reach out to their clients, reinforce that we are appreciate your business when things were going well and the market was over 14,000. We appreciate your business when times are tough and we are going to not only whether this storm, but provide you the best services to help our clients benefit but also prosper moving forward.
Takes guts for no one wants to make that call for they could have a harsh response at the other end of the telephone. However over time, that client will appreciate you not running and hiding and you establish trust. So when this temporary cycle ends, they will be more loyal to you and you showed your professionalism, when times were tough. Its easy when things are good. This is an opportunity to stand up and stand out. Go Get Em.
