“Resolve says do it or die. I’ll do it until the results start to come. It’s always resolved with willing to face the unknown. Yes I said I will do it or die, but later here’s what I discovered. Then, well you have to sort of rearrange. It’s like planting corn in an acre of ground and it never does comes up, it never does comes up. Someone says, well just keep on planting, maybe you need a new acre. So Maybe is isn’t just persistence and do it or die, I’ll plant every spring by gosh until I have a crop. Have you ever considered maybe you need a new acre to plant in. So that means like later discovery says wow I’ve been at this for three years now, nothing is happening. Then you say it, I know I said I’ll do it or die, but now I have some better information now. I need to go a new road, try a new acre.” Excerpt from Jim Rohn Day “That Turns Life Around” Emotions that can change your life.

Excerpt from Article; "Becoming An Expert in Your Field" December 22, 2009 revised version from the Article that was published in the QBS Newsletter) Personal Development: To become an expert, we should strive for excellence. Personal Development is foundational to this. We should be reading at least 10 pages a day of a good book. Also, use you car or exercise time to listen to positive speakers. I know — without a doubt — that much of my success has come from this area. I am not talking about sales or product knowledge; I mean books that will put you in the right mindset. Jim Rohn has a great c.d.; “Five Major pieces of the Life Puzzle,” that starts with building on our philosophy of life. My top recommendations are: The Bible, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Power of Positive Thinking, Think and Grow Rich, Eat that Frog, Endless Referrals, and anything by John Maxwell. Industry & Sales Knowledge We need to study whatever our field is. Some industries are changing very rapidly. The good news is we live in the information age and have multiple sources (magazines, trade newsletters, Ezines, blogs and other online resources) to stay informed. Whether we like it or not, whether we think it or not, we are all in sales. We should be learning and practicing our sales skills daily. There are many great authors in this area. Some of my favorite sales authors are Tom Hopkins, Zig Ziglar, and Jeffrey Gitomer.

Top 10 ways to stay positive, or encourage colleagues who own their own service business This is an expanded version to a question that was asked on LinkedIn. (What's the best way to stay positive, or encourage colleagues who own their own service?) This is a very common question and more people need to have some answers. I’m not convinced there is one “best way”. Following are my Top 10 ways. 1. Read a few pages of a good book daily. Ongoing personal development is critical to your success. 2. Don't dwell on the negatives and encourage others to do the same. “Whatever is true, whatever of noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.” 3. Remind yourself and others the difference between failing and being a failure. While you may be failing in some areas of life, you are succeeding in others. Strive for self-improvement, not perfections. 4. Stay focused and use your time wisely. Make the main things, the main things. Don’t allow distractions to keep you from doing the high priority activities. 5. Surround yourself with positive people and be the positive person for others. (They say you become the sum total of your 5 closest friends so be wise and careful who you allow into your close centre of influence). 6. Develop a support network. Realize you are not alone and some of the people you think are doing great are having challenges also. Having a few people you know you can call when you are having a bad day helps tremendously. 7. Remember, people are rejecting your services because of their own money problems or don't see the value in your service, they are not rejecting you personally. Remember, it is a "numbers game" 8. Work on not letting a sale or lack of sale affect your mood and self-worth. Ask yourself; “did I do the proper activity? Did I do my best? 9. Don't be afraid to let others know what you do and ask for referrals. Ask people to help you, most people want to help. 10. Find a good counselor that you are comfortable talking with. (Most major medical insurance policies cover the services of a counselor)

" I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED" (Scroll 3) People are born to succeed, not to fail Words and phrases, such as quit, cannot, unable, and impossible should be removed from one’s vocabulary. When the day ends and the salesman wants to quit, he must force himself to make one more sale. He should never allow any day to end with a failure. Og Mandino…….
