Punching Above Your Weight & Making an Impact

We all want to be successful and build a nice life for ourselves, but the key to creating impact is more than just income. It requires a practice and perspective of “punching above your weight.” By doing this, you not only elevate your performance but also increase your input on the lives of your team, your clients, and the people who matter most to you. Simply put, doing the same thing today that you did yesterday will not give you the results you want tomorrow. So, how do you change this?

Seven Steps to Punching Above Your Weight

I’ve boiled this down to seven elements that will help you elevate your performance not only in insurance sales, but any business career.

1. Focus on Your Purpose: How can you impact things bigger than yourself, rather than just make money? Start by identifying your core values and what truly drives you. This will give you the motivation to push beyond your current limits.

2. Determine What Needs to be Done: Let no one deter you from your vision. Stay focused and avoid distractions. Create a clear plan with actionable steps that align with your purpose.

3. Schedule Your Thinking: Create appointments with yourself to proactively think about your goals. This dedicated thinking time allows you to strategize and innovate, pushing your boundaries.

4. Force Yourself into Opportunity: Take big steps and set deadlines that seem one step beyond too much. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and seize opportunities that seem just out of reach.

5. Break Down Big Goals: Create “digestible bites” to avoid being overwhelmed or bogged down. Breaking large goals into smaller, manageable tasks makes them less daunting and more achievable.

6. Study the Legends: Read the greats in your area of impact and then translate their actions into your own strengths. Learn from those who have succeeded before you and adapt their strategies to fit your own path.

7. Be Authentic: Focus on your purpose instead of trying to join someone else’s. Authenticity resonates with people and builds trust, which is essential in the insurance sales industry.

Think and Operate at a New Level

To ‘punch above your weight,’ you have to think and operate at a different level. It’s not about pretending or faking it until you make it. A new level of operation requires a new level of thinking.

Think about where you want to be and what you want to be known for. Find your life’s purpose by focusing on impact, staying dedicated to your vision, and continually pushing your limits.
