4/19/2024-“I caught me that Spring Fever thing.”

Skill

Catching a Spring Fever is normal, but you should treat it just like you do a common cold…the faster you heal, the better your year will be. It’s April, but you’re in prime Q4 selling season.

Spring is in full bloom, and you’re feeling giddy. Why not?!

Go ahead and spend a few more minutes at the dog park this morning.

And perhaps later, you and your client will enjoy an al fresco lunch and loiter a bit with two post-meal cappuccinos.

Spring feels great, right?

But when it comes to prolonged bouts with the Fever, how ’bout you beat it fast and keep your nose to the grindstone?

Let your competitor get taken down and distracted for a few days – you got goals to hit.

Do

For today only, succumb to your Fever….your engine can’t run at max forever.

Whether it’s one of those warm spring days that puts smiles on everyone’s face or not, it’s natural to be afflicted on Fridays in April. If ya need, shut it down early today. No judgment.

(There’s nothing worse than going through the motions and getting zero done.)

Give into it today…Monday you’ll attack it hard again!

Because Spring Fever can steal your focus and slow your momentum, you need to think about it like any other physical illness.

You spend a lot of energy trying to stay physically fit so you can stay in the game and compete at a high level, so it makes sense that you also stay psychologically strong.

At the same time, cut yourself slack and allow a breather here and there during spring; after all, it is a rejuvenating time of the year, and your bio-chemistry is re-loading for a long Q2-Q4 stretch. All the while, appreciate that you’re selling for Q4 right now, so you really don’t have too much leeway to goof off.

Oomph

If you watch this insipid YT Short of a young boy rolling a ping-pong ball through every room of his house – and you’re entertained until the end – then yes, you have Spring Fever.

Keep watching this video – and other such mind-numbing yet joyous vids – today’s Friday, after all.
