One Thing You Must Do to Get the Results You Want

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.”

– Eleanor Roosevelt

This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt speaks volumes to how we can create the results that we want in life. There are many things we tell ourselves we cannot do or we may procrastinate and avoid them at all costs. Everything has a cost or payoff. Many people avoid conflict because it is uncomfortable. Yes, it is uncomfortable but it can be done respectfully and with dignity. For some the payoff, may be seeking comfort in food, avoiding change, or even taking action. Your results will disappoint you if you do not face what you fear.

I have learned as uncomfortable as it may be this is the environment where your greatest growth often appears. This is the perfect opportunity to STRETCH out of your comfort zone and STEP into your potential. You will start to make more immediate decisions because you are clear on what you will and will not accept as the results that you want for yourself. You will be able to shift your perspective and gain a better understanding of the results you had been getting and what it takes to get the results you truly want. You will know how to prepare for uncertainty with calmness. You will ultimately stand up more often for what you believe in.

You will change your mindset about challenges and start seeing them as opportunities for growth and change. You will open doors for new opportunities. Take time to look at what is working and what is not working. What is one thing you need to do to get what you want? Are you prepared to do it? Will you regret not taking the action to get it?

What is the ONE thing you know that would change your life?

In the digital world in which we live, it is very rare to find someone with a business without some form of online presence like a website. If you do not have one, may I suggest your consider starting one. There are many websites and hosting programs that could get you started in a couple hours. One of the easy ways to get a site up and running is by starting a blog either through Word press which I recommend or Blogger. There are others like Tumblr, Typepad, or Live Journal but I am not as familiar with them.

Now if you are looking to have an impact in the marketplace, there are are a few must have items. Think about the way people learn information. Some learn visual and some by audio – why not use both? You may not agree with all the suggestions but I have noticed these suggestions to be great must haves for your site to get noticed and remembered.

  1. Welcome Video – Let people get to know about you and your business  What do you do? What do you want them to do when they get to your site? Why should they take a look around? Do you have a call to action so they can join your list to receive more valuable information from you? Some people will watch the video and some will read what is written. The video allows for a one on one connection. They get to know you – it creates the first impression.
  2. Contact Information – Remember people do not always come to your site from the “Home Page” or what I like to call the “front door”. Do you have a physical location? How can they contact you?
  3. Call to Action – How do you get them to come back to your website? How do you let them know that you are here to give VALUE and OFFER them an opportunity to continue a connection with you well beyond a meeting or sale? Can they follow you on social media? What will you give the visitor for sharing their information with you that is of value?

These must haves will help you stand out from the crowd.  I am not sure if you noticed some keywords in business in regards to the must-haves. They have to do with nurturing relationships, educating, and providing value.   Inspiration is always an added bonus! Create a connection that lasts beyond a handshake, smile, or meeting. Be memorable and people will come back for more.

What do you think must be on a website to make you come back for more?

Pehaps they have not set expectations for themselves for the results they wish to achieve. Consider eliminating some of the distractions. Learn, grow, and develop by reading a good book, attending a seminar or conference, or hiring a coach. Push yourself to be the person you ARE meant to be.
