On this episode of The Wednesday Call podcast, your host Andy Albright hits you hard with a critical question: What is YOUR biggest asset and are you spending your efforts focused on that asset?
How you can identify your most valuable asset? Figure out the steps to accelerate your most previous talent and asset.
You need to know that your most valuable asset is your earning ability. Your ability to apply and “do” your talents and skills in The Alliance. That means you sell, recruit and build. All the material stuff is nothing. It is not about the cars, clothes and homes. You can flip a switch and start earning when we got you doing the “do.”
Now, your ability can be either an appreciating asset or a depreciating asset. You can grow in value if you continue to invest in it and the development of it.
On the flip side, your biggest asset can lead to a decline in value if you begin to take it for granted and start to coast on the basis of what you have done in the past. That is old news. You have to keep doing to maintain your position.
If your past is bad that doesn’t mean you can’t be big. If you have been good it doesn’t mean you can’t be great. If you are great it doesn’t mean you can’t be greater. It takes planning and preparation. Use your assets to grow by reading, lisetening, going to HotSpots, attending events, etc. Go and Do. Go and grow!
How do you grow those abilities? It happens with knowledge, talents, education and perhaps most importantly experience.
Are you willing to start over right now? Recommit. Look deeply at yourself and into yourself. Can you work on good habits, bad habits, character, personality, etc.? Think and reflect.
Reflecting is big. Don’t be the guy who knows everything. People see that and don’t like it. It hurts you and it hurts them. Are you willing to ask the brutal questions that make you grow?
How about you? Will you change? “Those that cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.”
Some questions to ask …
Where are you now?
Where would you like to be in the future?
How did you get to where you are today?
What do you need to do now to get from where you are to where you want to go?
What do you need to do less of?
What are you NOT doing?
What do you have to start doing?
What can you stop doing?
What would help you pour the gas on?
Let’s go! We all need to change. We all need more people that want to change. We need more messed up people. Everybody is broken on some level and they know it. Maybe they don’t know it. That’s OK. The Alliance welcomes everybody.
Where is your moral authority or character? Do you back up words with behavior? We are all broken. We need to find people that want to be better.
The Eight Steps to finding the best talent …
Find what it is that you enjoy doing that makes you happy and free. You build to help people. Would you do it for free?
Are you a natural at it? We are all built to help people. If you are great at it, then you should do it.
Find the reason you are successful. Focus on what helps you become more successful and keep doing it. What is the reason for your previous successes?
What is easy to learn and easy to do? People want to connect so help them do that.
What holds your attention? Read about it. Study it. People want to join stuff all the time.
What do you love because it compounds your life for the good? People skills matter in all areas of life.
What is it that you do that makes time stand still in your mind? You can do it for long amounts of time and feel rewarded.
What do you admire and respect in people who are great at what they do? Do you want to be admired by those you admire?
At the end of the day, you have to help people to be successful. You may not like it at first. It might take longer than you want it to, but you have to help people. It is about people.
What can you do that you love and that maximizes your greatest asset? Focus on that.
The ability to get people to move and achieve things is huge. When you can make an impact on people then you will win big. When you can pull people together and build a team, you will be loved and admired by many, feared by some and respect by most people in this life.
It will not always be comfortable, but to keep growing you have to keep working at it. It has to be developed.
