Think About The Outcome, Not The Results
A simple strategy that focuses on building a habit and consistency.
At the start of this week, I’ve been in pitching mode. In an attempt to get more clients, I’ve started to join a few Facebook groups and start pitching my writing skills to other people.
How many people do you think I’m pitching to over the day?
How long do you think I’m spending time on these pitches?
I can assure you that it’s very little and for not that long.
Since I’ve started I’ve focused on pitching to one person per day and that takes me about 5–10 minutes per day. Most of it stemming from finding an ad that’s worth responding to.
And while most people will probably tell me I need to be pitching a lot more to people, my focus isn’t so much on landing a bunch of clients. The reason I’m doing this is a little deeper than that.
Whenever we do something different or attempt to make a difference in our lives, our emotions go through a cycle.
At first, there is the initial excitement. When we set a goal, we think about why we want to achieve it, we pump ourselves up with motivation, we generally feel excited about it.
