How many of you are a having personal growth conversation with yourself?

A series of honest internal conversations can spark lasting and meaningful change.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said,

“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”

A personal manifesto gives your sales life meaning.

A manifesto...

Do good work every day... Stay noble... Be honest... Be perfectly clear... Be myself...

A manifesto is a declaration of one’s beliefs, opinions, motives, and intentions. It's a document declaring what's important to someone. This serves as a statement of principles or even a call to action.

A manifesto may challenge assumptions, foster commitment, provoke change or may even challenge the status quo.

A personal manifesto can help serve the following:

• As inspiration to live your life with purpose.
• As a foundation upon which to build your life.
• As a frame for your life
• As your sales NorthStar

A manifesto becomes valuable and serves as a constant source of inspiration. It becomes something that can easily be read on a daily basis.

Imagine waking up in the morning, rolling out of bed, grabbing a cup of coffee or tea, self- reflecting before you start your day as you spend a few minutes reading through your manifesto.

This would help keep your mind focused around your priorities. On a daily basis you're reinforcing your values over and over again.

What are your sales values?

Here's where your manifesto could have a huge impact to your sales career.

Imagine sharing your manifesto with others. Think about sharing with your clients, future clients and friends. Imagine how this could elevate your status within their minds? It now becomes your public creed through which you're presenting yourself, your beliefs and your future self.

I sincerely believe this will elevate your status and enhance your sales career. This will allow you to professionally grow, and help you live out those beliefs.

When all is said and done, the true hallmark of a sales professional is knowing what you believe and having the guts to live it.

This is what selling from the heart is all about.
