Moving Forward

I was chatting with an acquaintance this evening and the topic came up, she asked me: Do you think I should call them? We were talking about picking up new business. I suggested to her that it was better to be proactive than reactive. That the potential client would be happy to see the she was exhibiting leadership qualities. What might have happened was they were just plain too busy and didn't get around to calling her back. The right thing to do in this situation is to pick up the phone. She said that's not me I'll just wait till they call. Again I stressed be proactive. It goes like this. If you keep doing what you've been doing your going to keep getting what you've been getting. So if you want your future to be better than your past you have to do something different today. Her comfort zone was to wait for them to call. You want change then move out of your comfort zone. We talked about the month of December being slow with everyone thinking about the holidays. So the logical step is to take this time when everyone else is kicking back for the holidays and make the preparations so that you can come on strong in January. Just thoughts on moving forward.
