Your life has a purpose!
Via Erika Napoletano:
I also want you to know that I know who you really are:
OK, I very rarely invite untoward language…
But, here it is…
On a call with Gary Hart today (http://www.salesdujour.com) I spoke with a man who has BEEN selling his whole life.
(HINT: you may be listening to sales “experts”, but check it out – Have they sold ANYTHING beyond themselves?)
YOUR CURRENT REALIZATION: “NO WONDER I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE”
Yes! You haven’t been listening to people who have DONE sales, you have been listening to people who have “studied” sales. You have been listening for people who need YOU to succeed, so that THEY can succeed.
That is why it doesn’t work. NOT FOR YOU.
At any rate, I was talking with Gary (and we can arrange a joint conversation, if you have the courage to ask)…and we boiled it down. If you want to be a top salesperson there are two things to do: (AGAIN, I post the opportunity…IF YOU WANT TO BE A TOP SALESPERSON … ASK US FOR A N INTERVIEW (free, sad thing is, you won’t.)

Back to the topic, if you want to be a top salesperson:
1) Decide that you will be a top salesperson (and do whatever it takes to get there)
2) Have the confidence to do it
That’s pretty much it.
Sorry to disappoint you. It’s not complicated.
Love your life UP!

I am creating my incredible 2013 – with the help of this truly wonderful resource: http://leoniedawson.com/shop/k
I am going to shamelessly steal from the planner (please go get it – so inexpensive – so powerful – WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER!)
From Leonie Dawson (who you will LOVE):
“The Entrepreneur’s path can be the most spiritual experience of your life [btw, salespeople ARE entrepreneurs]
You will be called on to change every part of you that holds you back, so that you may step into your brightest magnificence.

The path of growth, of expansion, of transformation, of change, is not always the easy one.
It will cause you to face your fears, all the parts of you that are undeveloped.
You have no choice but to step into this, whole of face and whole of heart.
This is the path that is calling you, the path that has been destined for you.
This is the path that is calling your greatness out of you, it is the path that calls you to dream your biggest dream.”
Salespeople ROCK!
Love your Courage, Brilliance, and Perseverance UP!

Wanna be wildly successful? (pretty sure the answer here is “yes”)
I have a secret for you.
Pick your boss.
When I was seventeen, I got my first job in sales. I sold shoes for a national chain (NO, Do NOT stop reading – selling shoes can be a proud profession!)
I lucked into a position, frankly.
I just wanted a job. What I got was a mentor. My manager was amazing! He was a wizard! He was completely invested in my success. He taught me how to make buying a pair of shoes an EVENT for the customer. It was wonderful training and I thrived.

I was made the Assistant Manager of the entire store as a seventeen-year-old student. I out-sold everyone ‘cuz of him.
Enter CARS
Then, right out of college, I got a job with a major car company as a Manufacturers Rep.
By sheer LUCK, I was assigned to a very special dealership in California. The family who owned this dealership was WILDLY successful and a pillar of their community.
(Aw, geez, I lost you on car sales, didn’t I? Come back. It’s worth it.)
This family was AMAZING. They took me under their wing and taught me how to sell a car so that people feel like coming back, year after year after year.
I became #1 of nearly 200 reps because of them.
AND THEN THE LIGHT BULB TURNED ON
I had been lucky. I had great bosses and great influences. They PROPELLED me.
For my next jobs, I took what I had learned (from my sheer luck) and started interviewing BOSSES, rather than interviewing for jobs.
I wanted someone who would SHOOT me to the NEXT LEVEL
So, I started interviewing with two things in mind.
FIRST, do I like the company I am working for? Do I value their values?
SECOND, is the person I will be working for interested in my success?
These were critical questions
What I found was that I could get paid a WHOLE LOT OF MONEY for working with slimy companies and nasty managers.
BUT What I “picked” instead, was working for great companies with ambitious leaders who valued my growth and valued the work we did. The money came in time.
And it has worked!
Year over year, I am number ONE in sales – no matter where I work.
I am satisfied. I am happy. I am a leader. I am confident.
MORAL OF THE STORY
Today I was on a call with Jack Canfield. He said that when he was first getting started, at VERY low pay, he worked for W. Clement Stone (a Big Deal in that time). Jack credits his roots of success from the things he learned from this very powerful man. He didn’t even mention the nature of the work he was doing, just the man he was working for.
Forget the money, forget the hours, forget the benefits…PICK A GREAT MENTOR.
AND YOU WILL GO FAR!
Love your career UP!

Thank you, all, for making 2012 the most incredible year yet.
Most of all, I am grateful for the people that took time to meet me, speak with me, and educate me. There are SO many – and my life is enriched beyond measure.
I am now going OFF THE GRID until January 2.
Enjoy your holidays. Get some love in, maybe some rest. BE with your loved ones. Play board games. Refresh. Read a book that has actual pages. Touch your life.

I put on my watch today. Upside down. By accident.
Then I thought, Hmmmmm…what if I wear my watch upside down ALL YEAR LONG to remind me that my work, even my life, is NOT ABOUT ME? It’s about OTHERS getting the information they need and want.
What if I approached all of 2013 about what I can do to make OTHERS lives ROCK?
I think I’ll give it a shot. I will let my watch face YOU so that YOU can see the time.

An Incredible 2013
The amazing Rochelle Moulton (www.consultingchick.com) turned me on to a SUPER-fun planning workbook and calendar for 2013. I have already gotten started and I am loving it. You can view it at: http://bit.ly/Leonie2013.
The most powerful question yet
As I work through my plan, Leonie has asked me to pick one word that will be the theme for 2013.

I have been chewing and chewing on this one. If there were one word that would focus me on my next steps, what would it be.
On my walk in the woods with my puppies today, I thought….”I’ve got it! The word is DISCIPLINE! THAT is what I am going to need to take my business to the next level. I will need new habits, new ways of doing things, new structures in place to suppport all the goodness!”
My next thought was:
“UGH! Discipline!”
This theme was NOT going to do the trick. It would not take me through the planning workbook, nevermind all of 2013. Still, there was something in there. Something I KNOW would make the difference.
And then it came to me like a Lightbulb coming on!
If I were bringing discipline to all my new habits and practices and ways of doing business and relationships, I would be displaying…
HONOR
Honor for my loved ones.
Honor for my clients.
Honor for my puppies.
Honor for my commitments.
Honor for my financial health.
Honor for the privilege it is to be alive.
Honor for my body.
Honor for YOU!
I have discovered MY theme. What is yours?
I invite you – as you create your Incredible 2013. What will your theme be? What word will you use to focus you on what is next and most delightfully important.
Love your 2013 UP!
