“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result” – Albert Einstein.
When I started my journey as an independent consultant, I was taught how to do sales, recruitment, etc. I followed the system and worked hard. However, those hard work didn’t translate into the expected result. I got frustrated, had more quarrels with my spouse, and felt burned out.
After two years following the system, Einstein’s quote caught my attention.
I paused. I decided that the system didn’t work for me and rethought what I wanted to do next. I studied alternative and fresh ways to approach prospects.
It was the best decision that I have made. Now, I acquire clients naturally.
So, if you get stuck with the existing process, don’t attempt the same thing just because it is familiar or hoping it will work. Instead, change the method or take a different approach.
