Symptoms:
Hayden and Jackson are up to their eyeballs in holiday drop-ins, last minute orders, tracking PO’s and closing all outstanding business for the year. It has been a long 18 months of changes in where they worked from, how they conducted business, what felt like endless messages of bad news like price increases, lack of product and supply chain issues.
They could see the end of the year, but they don’t know how to get there. There just feels like so much to do with so many demands from all people in their lives.
Diagnosis:
Hayden and Jackson are facing what so many in the world are facing right now- lots to do with a perceived view of not enough time. The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day tend to be hectic, over scheduled, filled with many appointments that are more for goodwill vs. conducting business, if your contacts even have time for you.
Prescription:
Hayden and Jackson need to do one big thing in the remaining days of the year- slow down to speed up. Yes, we know this sounds like it shouldn’t work, but let’s figure out why. If you need a more in-depth review of slow down to speed up as it relates to your prospects, listen to its own episode.
