We have been asking Agents what is it that makes them feel most out of control and what they do about it.  If you would like to send me what makes you feel most out of control and what you do about it.  Send it to Rich@RichLevin.com.

Nancy in Nashville (names changed to prtect the innocent and not so innocent) wrote a very simple statement.  “When I do not follow my schedule and the day begins and ends with no sense of accomplishment.” 

Frankly, I’m jealous.  Unless I have scheduled appointments I find it really hard to follow a schedule.  So, I focus on the results I want to accomplish for the day, the week, the month and measuring that toward the progress we are making toward our goals for the year. 

I have a great deal of experience and training with DISC assessments.  Each of the four DISC personal styles gain control with strategies that suit their style.  There is no single right way.  The right way for you to gain control of your time, your business and your life will be unique for you.  The path is always to take the time to think about your next day, have goals that keep you motivated to look at them every day.  Taking that time and having those goals is simply a choice.  One that often requires a catalyst, a good mentor, coach, manager, or boss to put in place.

So, hats off to Nancy in Nashville for the comment that implies that she has a schedule that she can follow and it normally gives her the sense of control she desires.
