“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
–Ferris Bueller
American student
from the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)
Sales reflection…
You skim the material.
"Great stuff."
"Really makes sense."
"I like that a lot."
You move on. Quickly.
212 approach: You read the material. You pause. You reflect. You give it thought. Deeper thought. You embrace it or toss it aside but only after pausing – after reflecting on it for more than an inattentive moment.
Thought is important because it’s thought that generally precedes action.
Pausing and reflecting – investing thought beyond an instant twice more each week on a particular topic creates more than 100 additional possibilities of action and/ or improvement each year.
212 commitment: Pause and reflect. Deeper. Twice weekly.
