Or think of your credit score as your outfit & your credit history as your whole wardrobe. You may meet […]
“Can I succeed even if I hate sales?”
Posted on June 27, 2020 Leave a Comment
“What if I hate sales, can I still be good at it,” is a question I’m often asked. The short answer: Yes… You don’t categorically hate sales, you hate what you’re not good at because in those instances, your weaknesses are exposed. You hate: Asking for the sale and bracing for the No. Asking for the […]

People can’t jump on your band wagon because it’s parked in the garage.” ~ Sam Horn There are so many things that you want to DO: Mentor, speak, teach children how to read, help the elderly, raise awareness, sell homes, cars, and insurance, write a book, start a cooking show, teach how to apply makeup, […]

In episode 535 we talked about making better decisions by listing a range of potential outcomes. Often the decision we made didn’t work out simply because we didn’t consider other potential possibilities. We moved forward on what we thought would happen not what could happen…and could won out, because you only factored in one point. […]

We tend to use the words price and cost synonymously. “What’s the price?” “How much does it cost?” It sounds the same, but it ain’t the same. Where you are and where you’re heading in life is dependent on if you’re lured by the price or factor in the cost(s). If you’re not happy with […]

Why is it so easy to eat bad? You can get a 10 piece nugget for $1.49, but you’ll walk out 10 bucks lighter when you buy a grilled chicken wrap. Fast food joints make it easy to eat bad, so easy in fact, that you choose them without even thinking-and that’s exactly what they […]
