by Brenda C. Smith
Do you need a way to increase effectiveness of your marketing strategies, and to feel that you bring value to the table? Are you experiencing a disconnection with on-the-job results which are delayed, fruitless, or misunderstood? If so, now is the time to align the following 3 key training strategies to your marketing goals. Learn how to shape your internal focus so you can apply it to achieve winning results.
1. Start with the end in mind:
Define your outcome so you will know where you want to be at the end of your marketing campaign. Create small steps that will lead you to your outcome. Use visualization to enhance that outcome. Practice this often.
For example, if you wish for a particular sale, promotion, a better target group, or more money; then see yourself as already achieving your goal. Next, role-play that person. Take on the physical and mental attributes of the person who you want to be. Speak the same language and visualize yourself at a meeting or in conversation as this future person.
2. Accept previous mistakes as learning opportunities:
As you progress through your steps to your goal, don't let negative experiences override your thoughts. Instead, think of them as valuable life experiences to allow you to move forward with new determination. Check your steps along the way to determine if they are still on the path to your goal. If they are leading you away from your goal, you have the flexibility to try something else.
Distract yourself out of any negative feelings or thoughts. Change your activity to something else, or just laugh it off. Whatever your method, you need to rid yourself of negative influences so you can stay in the zone of positive energy.
3. Focus from the heart:
Reacting emotionally, whether it is joy, anger, frustration, or peace, produces a cathartic reaction that gives you an energized state. This allows you to be open to positive sensory awareness and connections. Emotionally align your inner thoughts with positive outcomes. Being in the zone feeds your passion supported by your true values.
The overall strategy is not to become stuck in a rut; but to use your mind to focus the outcome. These 3 key steps will take you to where you want to be. Breathe deeply, relax and stay in your zone as you see the pattern unfolding automatically to winning your goals. It will happen.
