Comeback: Will You be a Second-Half Superstar?

Will YOU be a Second-Half Superstar?

2017 is about half gone...what did you learn and how can you come back and ROCK the second half of the year?

It's a quick read...do you need a boost?

Wow...first half of 2017 in the books.

That was fast.

So, how did it go for you?

Have you been rockin' and rollin' your way through your list of goals, hopes, dreams and action steps?

Or is your 'To Do' list currently wadded up under one leg, keeping your desk from wobbling?

Back in my BNI days, as an Area Director here in New Hampshire, one of my greatest joys was visiting my chapters to honor members for their achievements (# of referrals, amount of $$$ generated or # of visitors invited). Sometimes, though, I saw some members lose momentum because they didn't believe they could catch "The All-Stars" who seemed to be recognized month after month.

What I began to do was add a new wrinkle by calculating who had improved the most over the course of the year, from first half to second half. Thus was born the Second-Half Superstar Award...one of my favorites to give out.

To see the faces on people who didn't realize how far they come, just by busting their butts and applying what they had learned...priceless.

Is this YOU?

Have you been holding yourself back because you perceive others to be more successful?

Do you need to surround yourself with coaches and mentors at this proverbial HALFTIME to get your passion and energy cranked up for the next go-round?

How could YOU buckle down, examine your results from the first 6 months of the year, and build a plan to bust past those results, leaving your doubts in the dust?

You don't have to be afraid of those who seem to be more successful. You can actually learn from them by watching the actions they take, the knowledge and skills they invest in, the way they treat others.

Some will provide a great education.

Some may be cautionary tales.

Either way, let them help provide the fuel for you to become a Second-Half Superstar.

I hope you'll challenge yourself to step up.

The clock is winding down on the first half of 2017.

Time to get cranked up!
