#089 - One Phone Call Away

"You are just one phone call away.."  

Last week I heard Steve Sims drop this gold nugget quote on a podcast as he gave advice to entrepreneurs - specifically how to make something BIG happen.

How do you get what you want in life? You pick up the phone, because "you are just one phone call away".

Somebody will have a goal in their life, they will want to make something big happen. This could be a salesperson trying to set a new company record, this could be a contractor trying to land the next high-profile construction project, and ironically, what most people do, is sit behind their computer, disconnected, and perfectly try to plan it out.

Instead, pick up your phone and call someone! You are likely only one degree of separation away from getting what you want, but you have to call. You have to pick up the phone.

Steve encourages people to go for stupid goals. Stupid, because it may seem so big and outrageous that your mind thinks it's impossible. But remember, anything is possible. So, for lack of a better word, shoot for the moon, because it is possible. Go get yourself a BHAG, a Big Hairy Audacious Goal.

The reason Sprinkler Supply Store exists is that I picked up the phone and called my dear friend Matt Hart, and pitched him the idea.

What is your BHAG? I'd love to know.
