One word to transform your life: “HISTORICALLY”

One word to transform your life: “HISTORICALLY”

Historically” might be the most powerful word available to us as we navigate change, uncertainty, opportunity, and hardship, and as we simply become more of ourselves. The word “historically” is the gateway to a new level, to a parallel universe where everything is possible, and where we are capable and unstoppable.

“Historically.”

Write it down a few times today. Text it to yourself. Infuse it into your inner voice. Add it to the beginning of your limiting beliefs and see what it reveals. Don’t be afraid to say something and then restate it with “historically” on the front side.

Like a dash of sea salt, add it to your mental recipes to invigorate the senses. Hold it your hand and admire it. Put it in your pocket for safekeeping or wear it around your neck close to your chest. Somehow, make it readily available. It’s an invaluable word, and it will transform your life.

Erik Russell founded Russell Insurance Services, a Farmers Insurance based financial services agency, and is consistently in the top 20 commercial producers across the nation. Earlier this year I worked with Erik and his team on The Practice of Listening, and recently we sat down so he could share key insights into how critical the act of listening is to his business and how Listening Intelligence has transformed his organization. In the interview, Erik notes how both consumer and commercial insurance is such a high-touch client-service-based business. He estimates that 90% of the time that his team is interacting with a client it is because the client is having an issue with their world; an issue related to their home, their assets, or their business. Erik notes, “For the client, it can be high stress and high emotion. To them and for them, we are problem solvers.

Listen Like The Modern Leader: Build Trust & Win Consistently

Listening intentionally and consciously is a competitive advantage for the modern organization. No successful brand forces a product or service on the market. You don't just talk your way into good business. The most competitive and successful modern brands are listening constantly and intentionally to their prospects, users, and customers - they listen as a practice, in order to consistently launch and relaunch a worthy offering at an MVP level, and to evolve, iterate and innovate as the market changes.
