A little friendly competition
I think it’s no secret that I’m a bit competitive. I like to keep it friendly and light and generally, I am a good sport. In fact, I think having a healthy competitive nature is a good thing in our industry, for me it helps my drive to push forward continue. In fact, I am most competitive with myself, I am always trying to beat my most recent stats and numbers… again just constantly pushing myself forward. It’s a good thing for me.
Now that we are entering this new (to me) market SHIFT I am finding myself pushing even harder. I know this is going to require me to juggle the competitive nature I have to ensure I am finding an even balance. In a coming market that is going to require 3x’s the effort just to keep our current market share… competitive Erin wants to figure out how to exceed that and GAIN market share.
So how do I avoid the stress I was feeling earlier this year and still move everything forward for the good of the team?
Here is what I am thinking my focus will be as we head into the end of the year
Tighten up our current systems and fill any holes
Document, document, document. Make sure all of our current systems are well-documented and understood
Complete our BIG new lead generation project (I can’t wait to share this)
Leverage more with the current team
Find time to just be… without pressure and without guilt
I hope to look back on this post and smile and see that we made it through
