8.11. Your Chapter 8 Checklist

  • The goal of the Hour of Power is to increase referrals.

  • No selling! Make personal connections during your Hour of Power.

  • No interruptions! You have an average of only 36 seconds per call.

  • Tally the number of calls you make each day, week, and month, and work toward the goal of placing 100 calls per day.

  • Even the best strategies fail unless they are put into practice. Just do it!

  • Instead of giving yourself more time to perform undesirable tasks, give yourself less time. Force yourself into the zone.

  • Extend your Hour of Power to other undesirable tasks, such as writing blog posts, contacting reporters, or going door to door to introduce yourself to prospective new clients.

  • Focus your Hour of Power on dollar-productive activities.
