Missed Opportunities Raising the Barr Weekly Memo: Issue No. 45

This week’s reflection point: A prospective client I recently talked with acknowledge that she wanted to move forward but then changed her mind suggesting her priorities have change. Upon a quick review of my discussion notes with her, I noticed her top three objectives as stated by her:

• Increase her client base and the remarkable value they receive from her.
• Dramatically strengthen her thought leadership.
• Many opportunities have been lost and doing nothing is not an option.
• She needs a kick in the butt.

When discussing The Cost of Doing Nothing earlier this year, I reflected on this syndrome that unfortunately affects and impacts some of the best I meet.

The bottom line is that each day you allow for missed opportunities to enter your life and business, you:

• Lose sales, revenues and profits
• Stop positive momentum
• Eliminate your competitive advantage
• Continue to sustain errors, poor performance and negative mindset
• Hinder credibility and reputation growth
• Create negative customer’s perception
• Generate inaction which generates more inaction
• Decrease your reach and influence
• Are one step closer to being eliminated from the market

In a recent conversation I just had with a new client he said: “Every month missed is missed opportunities. I need to take immediate action.” Now that’s a smart way of looking at things.

This week’s tip: Don’t let missed opportunities take away your future.
