I’ve been discussing how to generate confidence in a sales setting. As you recall, getting in a good, confident mental state is paramount, and you do that by;
1) what you choose to focus on, and
2) what you do with your physiology.
Let’s talk about the second one. That’s right-your thoughts, your mood, your mental state-all are hard-wired into your physiology. As a sales trainer at the Southwestern Company, i have seen this concept in Read More...
If you want people to tell you the truth, you have to provide a safe environment for that to happen.
If you find people are lying to you, or not telling you the whole truth, on a regular basis, perhaps you should look at yourself. How do you react and respond to situations when they are presented to you?
If you react in an upset or angry manner on a regular basis, people will feel uncomfortable and will soon start to hold back or omit certain details. They will try to paint the picture in a way that is more comfortable and easy for you to accept.
Consider keeping lines of communication open by reacting to information in a calm manner, even when the truth isn’t Read More...

Most people understand that setting goals and managing time requires being proactive. However, many people consider the external influences in life-what gets put into your mind-very circumstantial, therefore that they are out of your control.
It is not only possible-it is your responsibility-to take a proactive approach to influencing what influences you!
There are three critical areas where you can substantially affect what enters your mind from the outside: the people you spend time with, what you read, and what you listen to.

You have heard your whole life that you should work really hard to get ahead in life or to achieve success. And most likely, you have also heard people talking about working smart to achieve their success.
So, the question becomes “Well, which one is it?” Because you’ve seen people put their heads down, keep their nose to the grindstone for 25 years, and work really really HARD, to end up not far from where they started. Conversely, you’ve also seen that guy in your office who continually is trying to work smart. He is always looking for a shortcut, scheming to find an easier way, looking for the magic bullet, spinning his wheels, and spending more energy on how to Read More...
Working hard and playing hard is a very popular saying nowadays. Actually to many people it’s more than a saying, it’s a way of life.
Because we spend so much time working it’s only natural that we should find an equally demanding form of release that we can fit into the little time we have left for ourselves. What better way to play hard than to go out on a weekend, down copious amounts of alcohol, and eventually stagger home at 6AM?
The problem with working hard is it’s a surefire way to burn out and the Read More...
