Other Quotes From the Chat with JP Van Dyke:
- “I think one of the big misses in business is goals, I think there needs to be fantasy goal setting but there needs to be realistic goal setting and there needs to be short range mid range and long term, I have goals for the week, I have goals for the month, I have goals for the quarter, I have goals for the year, and of course those goals have to change as things change but if you don’t have a goal, how are you ever going to know when you get there”
- “When I was in the military, I had a soldier come to me and say sir I want to buy a motorcycle, I said wow that’s great, how much does it cost, he told me the price and I go well I don’t think you should take a loan you’re just 19 years old, why don’t you save enough money for a great down payment and then I think maybe a loan would be okay, he wanted to take a loan at 7% interest, It’s going to be for 4 years and he had that goal, he put a poster on his wall of the motorcycle he wanted and in 9 months instead of going out on Friday and Saturday nights he saved that money and that goal was set that he could have his motorcycle and in business we have to have to the same thing, you have to have either a goal of how many calls I’m going to make this week and that’s how you can gauge your success”
