If you want to become a top producer, it all starts with DREAMING BIG! Dreams are bigger than goals because they get into your “heart!” The ability to dream is a human gift given by God to each one of us. Dreams also fuel the two qualities of engagement. First, know the future will be better than today and secondly, knowing you have influence and control over what happens in your life.
The job market has been so crazy and there is so much business to be filled, you could begin to feel like you’re starring in your own version of the movie “Groundhog Day!” Recently, I talked to a consulting client in Miami who is having a record month. During our call, he admitted to me that he hadn’t been outside in over two weeks. He had too much to get done, so he was working right through the weekend. My advice to him was to go out that evening with friends and “celebrate” because we all need to set aside time to have fun, decompress and celebrate!
This career is your “means to an end”, but what does that mean to you. What can you accomplish for yourself and the people you love, by becoming a top producer in this amazing profession. There are twelve categories of dreams. My challenge to you is to list at least three things under each category and then realize you can “make them happen” through this profession!
The twelve categories are: adventure, material, physical, financial, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, professional, psychological, creative, character and legacy. After you write down your dreams, pick one each quarter that you will achieve. I knew someone who dreamt about reading the book. War and Peace which is over 1,400 pages. He made the commitment to read 30 minutes each day and in three months realized his dream.
Your dreams will also drive your goals which can help you attain a greater level of success in your job. There is NOTHING you can’t achieve, no dream you can’t achieve because you work in the lucrative Staffing and Recruiting Profession!
