Introduction: Men and women providing various professional services sense when they’re in a performance rut. Where it feels as though the days all bleed into a single repetition of the same run-of-the-mill cloud of experiences: a workplace rendition of déjà vu gone live the moment they step through the door.

Or getting easily distracted by the goings-on all around them, making it infuriating and hard to stay on task at times. Or worse, they get disrupte ..read more

If you see each opportunity as a barrier or a bump in the road then you’re going to jar yourself silly on the road of life. No matter how you look at it, the hoops we must jump through each day never align—unless we make them. You have to be aware of your fatigue levels. Decision fatigue is a subtle, yet insidious dream killer. Sure, you’re an adult and it’s cool to think about how you could eat ice cream for breakfast. Choo ..read more

To stay motivated to achieve anything you have to know what you want, and why … If you don’t have a clear plan and know your “why”, you’ll lose focus on your goals, or never get started to begin with. Your “why” is the reason behind why you’re doing what you’re doing. A person who says “I’m going to start a business to make more money” isn’t likely to get there. Yet, the person who says “I’m going to start a business to make more money in order to get a bigger home with more room for my family” is likely to do just that. The differentiator here is that the person in the second example is doing ..read more

A huge mistake many salespeople make (I’ve caught myself doing this many times), is attempting to persuade our prospect to buy what “we” like without considering what “they” like. Have you ever done that? After all, because ‘I’ think this style looks best, obviously the prospect must, too.” Or, “‘I’ like this financial growth plan better than any of the others.” Maybe even, “Take a look at this widget; it’s got 107 ways that you can blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Isn’t it magnificent!?” How to Create the Right Amount of Enthusiasm When Selling Now, please don’t get me wrong. Genuine enthusias ..read more

An atmosphere of urgency will create an atmosphere of achievement. Have you noticed that the people who make things happen in this world value and share the same sense of urgency? High Achievers work best under a self-determined or externally fixed deadline for achieving objectives. Those who consciously choose not to “sleep at the wheel” realize that regardless of the goal being pursued, they must continually maintain a sense of urgency in order to compete and win. True greatness is only achieved once we develop a sense of urgency and importance of what we are doing. I mean a sense of urgency ..read more
