Count The Wins...

I love sharing wins with the group, so please contact me if there is something you would like to have posted!

- Kim Abelman:
BACK UP CARE ADVANTAGE (BUCA), Kim Abelman is now on the highest tier of their "Priority Partnership" as a Preferred Agency, with a fill/staff rate of 90.95%.  Over a 6 month period, (1st half of 2011), Out of 221 Reservations offered, they staffed 201 cases resulting in 1.531 total hours staffed. Presidents day, 2012, is one of their busiest days: they staffed 59 hrs in one day (6 cases). Also, they wrote and requested a birthday card for our longest, oldest client, Velma, from President Obama and it arrived!!  They will be presenting it to Velma on her 96th birthday on March 10.  Kim's own longest caregiver wrote to me: "Thank you and Spectrum for the privilege of having been with both Velma and Barbara (her daughter) for these past 6 years.".

Count The Wins!

Every step you take in the right direction is a major win. Baby steps, small steps, big steps, they're all wins. And they should produce a personal payoff for yourself.
- Closed a Deal? Count the win.
- Ate fruit for breakfast instead of soda? Count the win.
- Passed a certification? Count the win.
- Talked to 20 new people this week? Count the win.
- Reached your weekly goal? Count the win.
- Paid off a debt? Count the win.

In order to count the wins you must recognize the wins. This skill is like following a trail of breadcrumbs. Some people are only willing to look at loaves of bread as a win, others can sniff out the most microscopic crumb and keep on the scent through any adversity. The latter always seem to know which direction to turn. They count every win, no matter how small, as proof their intention is working. As you take action toward your destination, every single step is a win, and should be celebrated as such!

Have a great week everyone!
