Jet Xavier explains how a personal revolution can be the catalyst that’s really needed to bring about lasting success.
I HAVE MANY agents and principals around Australia coming to me who are realising the way they have done things in the past will not work in the future, and that who they are now will not be enough for who they need to be in the future.
I do not believe in self or personal development any more for creating success in life and business. I believe in personal revolution and self-confrontation for growth and evolution.
Any time you want things to be different in your life and business it requires you to change. If you change then your business will change. Those who stay stubborn, proud and ignorant, who refuse to grow, are the ones who will struggle and never reach the heights of success.
The biggest issues that I coach agents and principals on are not how to prospect, list or sell, or how to run a successful team. The biggest issues are the reasons why they are not doing what they know they should be doing and why they are not creating the success they want.
You need to look inward for change. You need to confront yourself and the things you do that hold you back, slow you down, create speed humps, get in the way and create resistance.
A PERSONAL REVOLUTION FOR CHANGE IS DIFFERENT TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
A personal revolution cuts through all the fluff and bubble and pump-up-the-tyres motivation. It gets to the heart of what is stopping you from being successful. It forces change at a deeper level. It can often be brutal, as you have to face yourself and the excuses you are making.
A personal revolution is a forcible overthrow of the current non-resourceful system you are using in favour of a new one; an overthrow of your thinking, attitudes, behaviours and non-resourceful practices.
A personal revolution allows you to cross the line, to lift your game and take things to another level.
FOUR STEPS TO A PERSONAL REVOLUTION FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL BUSINESS AND LIFE CHANGE
- Realise that you are what needs to change, and be ready and prepared to start a radical revolution within. You need to be ready and serious about change. You need to be ready to make sacrifices on many levels to allow room for change. You need to make a decision to do what it takes to address the issues that stop you from being successful.
- Sit down and write out all your strengths, repeated mistakes and non-resourceful beliefs and behaviours. Out of this group, identifying your repeated mistakes is important. You need to address what mistakes you keep making and start working on these areas. Then look at the non-resourceful beliefs and behaviours behind these repeated mistakes and change them.
- Ask others to give you feedback. Other people’s feedback is important, because you can’t see the spinach in your teeth or your blind spots that others can. Ask those close to you what repeated mistakes they see and what behaviours and attitudes you have that are not resourceful for success. Listen to this feedback and apply it.
- Create a change accountability list and take action. This list is everything you have been made aware of that you need to change about you. Show this list to your partner, friends, mentors, coach, your team members and managers. Make yourself accountable for change. Then take massive action for change and stick to it.
Remember, if nothing changes then nothing changes!
