Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. Today I thought I\u2019d talk about something I\u2019m working on right now, and that is re-evaluating some of my habits and routines. Generally speaking, I think good consistent actions can serve us well, but what happens when they start to get stale? I think it\u2019s possible some of those routines turn into a rut, or maybe they\u2019re just not as effective as they once were. My Peloton riding is probably the easiest to see example of this right now. On Saturday I finished my 250th ride after getting the bike the December before last. I\u2019ve ridden it pretty consistently all this year logging 85 rides and the equivalent of over 1300 miles so far this year. And yet I\u2019m on the top end of the 10 lbs weight range I tend to trade in. I\u2019m doing the work, but I\u2019m just not seeing the results I had expected. So it\u2019s time to shake it up and try some new things. I\u2019ve actually got my eye on a sprint triathlon later this summer. But it\u2019s not just my workouts. Some of my work routines feel like they\u2019ve lost some of their lusters as well, so I\u2019m taking a second look at a lot of the things I\u2019m doing to see where I can improve and better convert actions to results.<\/p>\n

How about you? I\u2019d love to hear about your most effective routines that deliver the best results for you or if you are feeling stuck and could use an overhaul as well. Join the conversation at DailySales.Tips\/114<\/a> or if you\u2019d prefer not to share publicly and just want to shoot me a note directly, you\u2019re always welcome to email me at scott@top1.fm<\/p>\n

Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
