To all our highly valued clients and acquaintances:
Hitting the Mid-Year Reset Button and Making a New Beginning to
Producing the Results You Most Want/Need to Achieve for 2009
We are fast approaching the end of the first half of 2009. 2 quick questions for us all?
What do we need to do to finish, and learn from, the first half as best as we can?
What do we need to do to plan well and get the second half off to a strong start?
To invest even 5-10 minutes to quickly jot out your responses to these questions can be helpful, to inventory your performance year-to-date and energize your future biz focus.
Better yet, invest at least 1 hour to think it all through. Do your current 2009 plans, strategies and systems make sense for you, going forward, knowing what you now know?
Some recent news to confirm an opportunity of the times we are in:
According to many, over 3/4 of investors are amenable to another perspective.
If referred by a trusted friend or colleague, they would value a second opinion.
Social time for weddings, holiday cookouts, corporate events, family reunions, etc
In one professional association of Financial Advisors, many report 20% growth rates. Attributed to what? Getting referrals to people who are way past auto-pilot complacency stage and far more amenable than ever before to another perspective
from another view on market outlooks
to how their portfolio is structured
to exploring the possible client experience offered by you
to the improved ways that they can receive expeditious service
Are your clients ready to introduce you? Are they as happy as they can be right now?
Are they aware that you are ready, willing and able to explore/open new relationships?
On another note? A while back, a trusted colleague emailed me this curious request:
“I know your time is particularly limited and you will see this as - wow, where to begin. However I am not looking to burden you, but just to get a snippet here and there that I can use in my daily life. Something that keeps you going and connected to your core.”
Here is what I basically sent back to him as an immediate e mail response.
“I have a basic vision and plan for the future, as an outline and framework,
that represent my core values that I own and am committed to
from there, I typically invest at one hour per day to feed my heart, mind and soul,
in prep for fighting and living life full tilt, one day at a time
I get and take all the help that I can get, access and afford - I run
for the exits, away from anything and anybody that I experience as a drain
I take time to rest, read, joke around, change environments, make
out of the ordinary phone calls and any other strategy to change it up
I follow the idea that life well-lived is a marathon of sprints and power nap often,
to continuously rejuvenate myself - I love movies and music
Iris and I are doing walks and I swim for 30 minutes at least 3 times per week –
I work to eat well, stay healthy and have good energy
I keep a central focus on keeping hope, love, laughter and perspective alive –
I stay open - I repeatedly review my best audios/books.
I am determined to persist, no matter what - I intend to go the distance and
work to stay present to the fact that life is a one time shot
hope that helps you in some way - let's continue to keep in touch”
possible motto for balance of the year? “Stay Present, Stay Focused, Stay With It”
Recommended classic read for the summer, to sharpen your life & professional focus?
Maximum Achievement: Strategies and SkillsThat Will Unlock Your Hidden Powers to Succeed

Many of the more than one million graduates of the seminar program upon which this book is based have dramatically increased their income and improved their lives in every respect.
The step-by-step blueprint for success and achievement presented in these pages includes proven principles drawn from psychology, religion, philosophy, business, economics, politics, history, and metaphysics.

I understand that highly successful people have a “ready to start over at any time under all circumstances” attitude. May we suggest that you freshly hit your 2009 new beginning button and newly determine what you most want/need to achieve for the 2nd Half of ‘09?
