Recently I was asked to be interviewed by a group of college students that were in the process of doing their final project for a business class. Their final project consisted of writing a “Sales Training Manuel”.
We spent about an hour and a half discussing what was in their project. The note taker took several pages of notes as we all had a very open dialog. Everyone that came out was very grateful of the experience. The ironic thing was is that I feel that I probably got at least the same amount of excitement, if not more then the college students did.
Think for a moment what it was like when you first opened your business, or when you first started your career? The energy, the excitement, the anticipation for the day – was these factors mediocre or were you jumping out of bed and could not wait for the day to start? It is very important that we keep this entrepreneur spirit alive in us – just as it was the first day we started.
What is a great way to keep this spark alive? Surround yourself with it. Is their a local college that you could hire a student, or get an intern from. Is their a local mastermind group that you can attend? Do you have someone in your life that you can bounce ideas off of and brainstorm with?
Surround yourself with excited business and sales professionals and you will be amazed at the results that will happen in your organization!
