Hi Moneytree users! Here’s how to turn 2021 into a five-quarter year.
…
It was great sharing the Say it So it Sticks! webinar with you, and over the course of the next several weeks, I’m going be a guest vlogger for Moneytree.
We are hearing so many people say they can’t wait to get out of 2020 and start 2021, to just get this year behind them, and understandably so. People are fatigued. They’re tired. They just want to be done with this year.
But we’re talking about potentially wasting three months if we take on that attitude! You need to begin thinking about 2021 right now and set that year up so it’s a five-quarter year. That begins by taking advantage of that [thinking] now, at the start of October.
Look, you’ve got to resist the temptation to get into the same mindset that so many people are taking in being done with this year to turning it around and recognizing you can build up momentum between now, the remainder of October that we have left, and December 31, so you can hit the ground running on January 1, 2021.
That’s what you need to be doing as an advisor. By taking that approach to your business, you’re going to exude that confidence and that approach to your clients. You want to be working with your clients, informing them that, while this has been a challenging year, there are still things that you want to discuss with them before year-end that are going to not only enhance their end-of-year situation but ensure they kick off 2021 on the best foot possible.
As an advisor, that’s going to mean you need to be lifting out of what you’re hearing going on right now, but you can do this! The advisors who set themselves up this way between now and year-end will make 2021 possibly one of their greatest years yet.
I look forward to bringing you another Distraction-Proof Advisor Idea next week!
