Commitment to Success... Does Your Crew Have What it Takes? Do You?

Commitment to Success... Does Your Crew Have What it Takes? Do You?

What is lacking for most salespeople and business people is the commitment to do whatever it takes to succeed. All too often I see sales people that expect success to come to them and yet they lack the commitment to make it happen. Commitment is defined by Webster's as "put in custody, do, pledge, bind."
How many of us really have the commitment as defined by Webster's to make things happen in our lives? How many of us really "put in custody, do, pledge and bind" to the things in our lives?
I can remember a time in my life when I would not want to face what was really challenging. I remember wanting something easier. I was younger and immature. There was an underlying sense of entitlement. "Give it to me now and make it easy," was an attitude that was childish, like the small child throwing a fit if he or she could not have that toy or candy now, right now.
Now I find that "nothing worthwhile in life is gained by avoiding what is uncomfortable initially."
The longer is takes to get a new client, the better they turn out to be in the long run. The more challenging situations give me greater satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment. I am grateful for the "resistance" in my life.
What about your staff? What about you?
Can you think of someone right now who expects things to be easy and is disappointed if things don't come to them "now, right now?"
Are you hiring sales people or employees who jump from company to company and expecting them to be committed to your company? Are you challenging your staff and they resist? Are you upset that what you want to achieve is not happening faster, easier?
