Andy Albright hosted the Alliance Activity Podcast live from the Alliance Convention Center during this week's Instant Thunder event in Burlington, N.C.
Albright was joined on the call by a guest panel of Paul Minichino, Eric Bellaire, Nikki McMillan and Angela Manzo, who were all attending the Instant Thunder event. Each of these guests has unique stories and journeys with The Alliance. Andy wanted to let them share their experiences and histories with members of The Alliance.
Andy interviewed each agent and found out more about what they do to be successful with The Alliance. They discussed the habits - good and bad - that they have seen with agents they work with.
On this edition of The Alliance Activity podcast, Andy Albright will talk about what they "ARE" and HOW this effects the "DO". And as a BONUS, he will toss in some "DO" notes.
On this edition of The Alliance Activity podcast, Jason Carey and Chadwick Ray discuss the biggest differences in the East Coast and the West Coast. Some of those differences include attitudes, people, territories, leads and making money from coast to coast.
As different as things might seem on both coasts, one thing is the same: people need life insurance. Once you get in the home with a client, you quickly find out that people need the same kinds of coverage and they want to be protected with life insurance.
No matter where you live the leads are the same across the country. When you are working to get referrals from people, it still boils down to talking to people and relating to them. When people trust you and know that you are trying to help them, they are going to be more likely to help you in return. If you don't ask for what you want then you will certainly get it. Ask more questions and get better results.
Andy Albright hosted this edition of The Alliance Activity podcast to cover two main topics: where to find the time and when to engage and not to engage.
There are ways to make time for everything. When you see a person that seems to get more done, too many people think there is some mystical magic to it. Now, there is a trick to getting things done. People that leverage time are successful. They find ways to get more done than most are willing to, and they keep thinking of ways to make more things happen.
If you could figure out one positive activity that you could do in your life what would it be? If you could change something, what would it be? Just pick out one thing to focus on.
What one thing would you change in your business? If you could get really good at one thing, what would it be?
Can you figure out your one thing personally and professionally to improve drastically? Write it down now.
Are you going to work on a Saturday morning or are you going to sleep in late? What does your calendar tell you? What are you going to do tonight? How about later today? Instead of putting "things" off why not get to work and start accomplishing tasks.
When you stop putting things off then you start developing a winning mentality that will take you to the next level.
Do your actions "actively" show that you are working to get better? Are you intentionally moving with a clear purpose and mission? This is a choice.
Successful people are where they are now because of choices they made a long time ago. They made decisions and choices and they took great action to reach their potential.
Andy's friend John C. Maxwell loves to talk about "intentional living." What are you doing now that you weren't before? Take a moment to really think about that and decide what you are going to change. It might not happen today, but it can start today and it can start right now. You can't have movement until you move!
Until you can commit then you will stay where you are. You have to decide if you want to win and you have to decide how big you want your victories to be. People spend too much time focusing on urgent things when they should be doing important things. Why? People are addicted to the power that comes from tasks that lead to instant success and gratification.
Recreational activities will not help you financially. They will actually hurt you. It's OK to play cards, golf, etc. but just know that it won't change your life. People do this stuff for fun.
You have to focus on the important tasks in your life and let the other stuff go or at least put it off until later. Learn to make it a habit to spend more time on the important stuff.
Andy Albright hosted the NAActivity call from the Alliance Convention Center at NAA headquarters during an Instant Thunder event.
One of the things that makes Andy mad is seeing people with all the potential in the world not realize their potential. It is not as much about talent so much as it is about figuring out what you are willing to do. That is what separates great people from good people.
Are you working on doing what you are good at? Do you focus on that consistently? How focused are you?
Dysfunction can stop you from growing. You can have all the talent in the world and not be successful because you get off track and don't stay focused.
Can you master avoiding the pitfalls that can derail you? Be a master of putting off low priority items that are not urgent and important.
If you've ever been on a boat you know that you can look behind you and see a wake of water for a long way. How big is your wake? It takes speed, size and direction to create a big wake. Slow boats don't leave a wake. What is the "wake" of your relationships and your task? How many friends did you keep? How many phone calls did you make? Results matter � period!
How do people feel about you? Are you bringing them closer to the fire or pushing them outside the heat they seek desperately? Are you attracting the right people? After they spend time around you, do they want to come back?
How is your integrity? It takes a long time to build it up and for others to trust that you have it, but it only takes one bad move to ruin it forever. You have to make decisions all the time. Each choice you make can improve your stock or cause it to come crashing down in a flash.
Andy will be the first to tell you that he messes up all the time. He is also quick to let things go and move on. You have to keep trying and know that it will be OK.
There are 2 rules for this "text and conference calling" session of The Alliance Activity podcast.
A= How can you personally sky rocket your "DO" related to ONLY sales and recruiting?
B=What are you going to "DO" related ONLY to increasing your personal recruiting and sales immediately?
THE 2 rules are:
Do you need encouragement or critics? This is a powerful question to consider. Most of us judge ourselves with truth and we see everybody else’s “highlight” reel. Which one of those is real?
Andy Albright hosted The Alliance Activity podcast live from his office at NAA headquarters in Burlington, N.C.
People need encouragement and less sarcasm from people and the world. A seed will grow if it is planted in the right environment. More people need to help more people grow. We don’t need to beat them down, we need to raise them up and get them on track. When you believe in somebody and encourage them, you will be shocked by how much it means to them. When you helps others you will see that it actually helps you.
When you build relationships you get well. When you build relationships you grow. It’s natural to grow. The more you can give to others the more you get in return. People who give of their time, money, effort and energy are rewarded in ways you can’t even imagine. Make it a habit to be encourage people in all that you do.
Watch what happens when people pick up on your attitude and encouragement. People will start following you. It will grow and grow.
People need to be on a team. The Alliance is a place that is full of teammates to have your back and encourage you consistently. Tell people that you are proud of them. It’s a simple act that shows people you care and want them to succeed.
