The Ax Story

If you have attended the Memory Training Workshop, you memorized a story, The Ax Story, that, when ‘decoded’, is the solution to the quadratic equation. 

Here is the story if you need a refresher:

In my hands I have an AX (X)
I’m chopping RAILROAD TRACKS (=)
into SMALL BOARDS (-)
when I’m attacked by a giant BEE (b)
that’s stuck on a CROSS (+)
on another small BOARD (-)
I get scared and run into a CIRCUS TENT (Square Root Symbol)
where I’m attacked by another giant BEE (b)
that comes out of a SQUARE BOX (squared)

I wanted to write briefly about abundance and scarcity.  Specifically how it applies to our financial lives, aka our money mode.

Are you living your life in a scarcity money mode?  For instance, are you trying to stick to a tight budget and feel like you have limited resources and opportunities?  Do you find yourself saying, “We cannot spend,” “We cannot do,” We cannot have the things we want because we cannot afford them”?

If this sounds like your situation, I have a simple tip to create more financial abundance in your life.  If you want to have more money in your life then spend more money.

The mindset that money is scarce will result in money being Read More...

Why and How to Fire Your Sales Manager

Today I am going to discuss how and why you should fire your sales manager.  Why?  Because you don’t need one.

The most important jobs that a sales manager does are things your can totally do yourself.  In fact, if you are doing your job right, you should be managing yourself.  

Let us look at what the job of a sales manager IS NOT. The sales manager’s job is NOT to keep you motivated. It is not your sales manager’s job to set your goals for you. Nor is it your sales manager’s job to train you. And your sales manager is not the person responsible for finding you leads and prospects.

“In my company,” you say, “That is exactly Read More...

A Fate Worse Than Death – Tips to Take the Terror Out of Giving Presentations

What’s scarier to most Americans than spiders, heights, or even death? There hasn’t been a horror movie made about it yet, but more than 75% of Americans surveyed report that they suffer from “glossophobia,” a debilitating fear of public speaking.

Statistically, far more of us claim that we would prefer death to giving a speech; even comedian Jerry Seinfeld used to joke that at a funeral, most people would rather be lying in the casket than delivering the eulogy. 

Why is the prospect of trying to communicate information in front of even one person so horrifying? Most glossophobes fear looking bad, being criticized, suffering rejection, and losing business or Read More...

Inspriring Story of Excellence – #1 Hawkeyes Striving to Do Better

This is a news article that I read about the current Number 1 Ranked Wrestling Team in the U.S. It happens to be the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, but the story and quotes aren’t really about wrestling, they are about winning and excellence.

I thought it was a great story about uping your game even when things are going well. I found it inspiring. Just imagine when they talk about beating their opponent that they are talking about mediocrity or complacency or about your comfort zone.

*********************************
Hawkeyes glad to be winning, but … They know they can do better
