Are you ready? Tree up, gifts bought, decorations throughout? Time to get moving if not. You’ve got seven days…..

The Last Time
There is always a last time. You rarely know when it is though. There is the last time you ever see someone, the last time you work at a company and the last time you visit somewhere special.
Consider everything you do like it’s the last time you will ever do it. Because one day it will be.

Strong Memories
Strong memories can pull you in with great or horrific feelings associated with those moments.
I just pictured an incredibly strong memory of mine when I was about 12. I was playing “rocks” with my cousins at my grandparents place on the path just outside the pool house. Fun and carefree times. It’s like a photograph burned into my mind. Occasionally it’s a short movie.
Strong memories like that feel great and bring a smile to my face.

Act Fast. Then Rest.
Get moving quickly on things. Don’t dawdle. Move with intent to achieve, accomplish and complete. Then you can rest. No need to rest in advance or during. Try it. I think you’ll like the results.

Finish What You Start
If you don’t want to see it through to the end, don’t bother starting it. Think this through at the start of a project or situation rather then feel compelled to finish something you have no interest in.

It’s Over When Time Is Called
There is always time to score or improve, right up to the final whistle. This is true in games, sports, exams and life. Don’t slack off or think you’re beat. Play harder for the victory.
Don’t coast either. Victory can be snatched from you if you’re not paying attention.

Are You Ready For An Emergency?
Do people know who to call if you become incapacitated? What if you’re on a bus? How do they ID you? Who would they call other than police or ambulance?
What if your parents had a problem? How would someone get in touch with you? Are your details, which they hold, up to date? Have you got a new number?
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Take some of your precious time now and put procedures in place. There may not be time to do so later on.

Seize The Moment
Take the opportunity when it is there. Like water in a river, this exact water, in this exact way, will never pass here again. This is your moment. Dive in.

Track Your Progress
This one habit will help you achieve a lot more than you can imagine. If you are trying to make progress hourly, then track this on an hourly basis. When you are trying to make weekly progress, track weekly.
Decide on your specific metrics, write them down and then write down each tracking data point. Yes, it’s easy to do in your head. But it’s not nearly as effective.
If you are serious about winning and achieving, write down your precise metrics and time intervals. Then track the metrics precisely and consistently. Writing it down may seem like a bother, but it is this little tiny sacrifice in your day that will make all the difference.

Follow Up Is Key
Starting can be hard. But if you start something, be committed to completing it too. Like buying something on credit, you have to eventually pay the price. If you do a job, follow up until it is finished correctly.
Yes, it can be mundane doing admin, invoicing, paperwork, forms etc but they need to get done. So do them.
Follow up in sales is often how you win the deal. People remember great follow up. They remember poor performance and neglect too.
