"Here is one of the greatest questions you will ever ask and answer: "What one skill, if I developed and did it in an excellent fashion, would have the greatest positive impact on my career?"
- Brian Tracy

Thank you to my good friend Josh Anderson of Keller Williams Realty for his submission of this quote. I have been thinking about it for 2 days.

Consider the question… what is the ONE skill you could develop to perfection and make the single GREATEST impact on your business? What is the "GAME CHANGER" for you in your professional development? It's likely you know the answer and are already a little UNCOMFORTABLE by the fact that you know it's the thing holding you back… right?!

Ok, I will go first. Mine is COLD CALLING. Like many other sales professionals, I am REQUIRED to make cold calls. Cold calling is the oft referred to MISERABLE experience of calling someone you don't know to ask them for their time, HOPING they listen long enough to actually help better their business. Scary thing for me… I have a POSITIVE attitude about cold calling. I do KNOW that if I had a PASSION and DESIRE to cold call at the same level as I do to educate and facilitate for clients – I would be a MILLIONAIRE!

So, let's be HONEST… What is WORSE? Not knowing what you would change or knowing and never doing anything about it?

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:

To TRULY move into the next level of success, you must learn to OVERCOME your inherent fears and misconceptions about your ability, others perception of that ability and your apprehension to DO something about it.

Once you have identified your SPECIAL skill that needs developed – what do you do next? Obviously, you would say DEVELOP it. Yet how? With whom?

That is YOUR job! It is your DUTY to take the initiative to overcome and perfect that underdeveloped skill. Seek SELF-education through books, formal education through classes and/or MENTORSHIP through others.

I, myself, would prefer a SOLD mentor… and am taking applications! =)

Cheers,
Zach
