Are you the type of person that always does what they say they are going to do? Believe it or not it really isn't easy to actually do everything you say you are going to do. Successful business people always accomplish what they set out to do and the unsuccessful ones just talk about doing things. For me personally, this topic strikes me hard because there are many times when I have talked a big game in the past and come up empty.
Now dwelling on those things does me no good but I can learn from them. If you set goals and stick to accomplishing them then most likely what you talk about gets done. No matter how small the feat, if you say you are going to do it and you finish it, pat yourself on the back. Seems like we don't do that to ourselves enough. We tend to minimize our accomplishments and magnify our defeats.
As with any problem it is good to tackle it in small ways. If you have been saying that you will call 100 prospects a day and only get around to calling 10, you might be placing the bar so high you will never reach it. If you say what you mean and are honest with yourself you will in turn feel better. If you say you will call 100 and call 10 you feel bad about yourself. Instead if you tell people you will call 15 today and you call 20 you will feel much better.
Your ultimate goal may be 100, but if you haven't done more than 10 before that is unrealistic to expect it to happen over night. But if everyday you say you will call one extra person than you did the day before, in no time you will be up at 100.
Your prospects and peers will respect you more if you accomplish things you tell them you are going to do. It's not about what you say, it's about what you do. It is vital to your success to come through when you say you will so people rely and trust you. Even the smallest things can build valuable trust in another person.
Many athletes say talk is cheap, unless you can back it up. If you have no substance in what you say, people will eventually stop listening to you. You can't be successful if people do not respect and trust you. So always make sure you can walk the walk, before you talk the walk.
