#1154 Practice Makes Perfect

So, what are you practicing?  If you regularly skip your workouts, you are practicing being sedentary. The more you practice, the better you’ll get.

If you practice blowing off prospecting and client calls, you will be very proficient at being out of contact with your clients.  When you come around to talk about renewals or new products, they’ll look at you with a jaundiced eye. 

“Who is this person, and why do I only hear from them when they have something to sell?

If you practice not kissing your spouse good morning, goodnight, or just because you will become an expert at non-intimate contact.

If you practice scrolling social media during working hours, you will become dumber—er, sorry—inefficient, fall behind in your work, and amp up your stress. You will be a half-assed expert.

When we think of practice, we think of regularly scheduled drills like piano practice or drills to learn a language. The social norm is to believe that practice is intentional, that one must deliberately set out to do something repeatedly, building that muscle memory until we master it.

But anything we do regularly is practice, and, as the adage goes, practice makes perfect.
