Kill Bill

1 Comment

Over the weekend, I watched Kill Bill vol 1 and vol 2:

Here’s what I noticed…..

Quentin Tarantino’s perfect amplification of his childhood love is PRESENT! He studied! I’m talking about Kung Fu (btw).

Are you willing to be an EXPERT? With that level of EXCELLENCE? Do you have ANY idea what that will take?

The second thing I noticed was …. “If you Live by the sword, you die by the sword” ….and if you don’t die by it, you have to deal with that you are a killer.

Choose your weapons and your mentors well.

The final thing I noticed is the PERFECTION OF THE CRAFT!!! Who do you follow? Are they worthy of your craft? Are you willing to be worthy of your craft?

BE worthy of the work of your life.

I learned the most interesting thing on a phone conference with Alex Mandossian the other day. He was interviewing the author, Dr. Ivan Misner about his new book “Business Networking and Sex” http://businessnetworkingandsex.com/. Great title, dontcha think?

Here’s one thing he found from his surveys:

Men prefer to talk about transactions.

Women prefer to spend time developing relationships.

(Those weren’t the only points made in the interview, the whole book sounds fascinating – great stories about men and women who are going above and beyond to successfully interact with each other).

How does this apply to your sales?

If you’re selling to a man – get to the point.

If you’re selling to a woman – spend some time creating common ground and nurturing a relationship before you start the sale.

Simplified information from a fascinating book.

What makes her so successful?

As I’m watching the Oscars…. (yes, I am watching the “chick Super Bowl”).

I’m noticing Cameron Diaz. She really stands out…..and I’m thinking to myself….

It is no wonder that she is wildly successful. Her energy is so high, she looks like she takes great care of herself and she’s just having a BLAST!!!

Are you treating yourself like a prize possession? Are you loving your life? Is your energy high, high high?

I’m gonna go be a little bit of Cameron this week and KNOCK THEIR SOCKS OFF!

Love ’em up!

Eating the Elephant

Leave a comment

When you’re going for something BIG in your life, you are in trouble.

Let’s say it straight. You see OTHERS who have done it. But, you can’t see how you’re LIKE THAT PERSON.

Then, you decide if THEY did it, it could be possible for someone else.

Then, you see…..MAYBE, just MAYBE that person could be me.

Then, you think…..HOLY COW, not me!

Then, you get jealous.

Then, you get discouraged.

And, then you DECLARE…YES! If that person can do it, then so can I!

And then (if you’re extraordinary) you do an extraordinary thing.

You start eating the elephant ONE BITE AT A TIME.

(That IS how you eat an elephant, after all).

Bite, Chew, Swallow, Repeat.

BUT, don’t kid yourself. If you want to eat the elephant (and I mean the business you never thought you could have, the income you never thought you could earn, the people you never thought you could meet)…. it’s ALSO going to TAKE remembering WHO YOU ARE.

Because, frankly, you forgot.

How I know this is true?  YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO EAT THE ELEPHANT if it wasn’t you who already are.

One bite at a time. Faith, beyond faith. Being willing to REMEMBER who you really are (the person you KNEW you were, but somehow got your heart broken).

AND FRANKLY, it’s going to take more than you thought you had. BUT, the good news is, PLAYING FULL OUT gives you MORE energy. Not less.

SO, what’s your elephant? The thing you don’t dare to dream? Where are you going to play FULL OUT to take just ONE bite today?

Don’t be boring. Surprise yourself.

Who will be your guide?

I heard a GREAT story from someone this weekend. Someone who is WILDLY successful, a CEO and a multi-, multi-millionaire.

You should get on the edge of your seat for this one….

He was telling the story of how he used to get a call from a stock broker nearly every day – working to get his business.

He would take the calls, listen to the pitch, sometimes he would say “yes” and sometimes “no”, but his investments never seemed to go anywhere. They would go up and they would go down, but they wouldn’t make any appreciable returns – mostly, the broker was getting the commission, and his money wasn’t going anywhere!

Then, one day, the light snapped on!!! That day when he got a call from the “Broker du Jour” (his words), he asked the question……”I’d like to hear more, but first……what’s your net worth?”

What do you think he heard from the other end of the line?

Yep. Silence.

And then, the Broker du Jour said,  “I don’t see how that’s any of your business.”

HUH?

“Then”, he said, “we won’t be doing business together.”

How many times do we ask the professionals who we are paying to guide us to tell us about their own successes? Have they achieved success in this area themselves? Hmmmm….

No wonder my Business Degree left me wondering what I’d missed! My teachers were simply that, TEACHERS! They hadn’t run a business…….

The people who REALLY taught me…..were the ones who…..you guessed it…..had ALREADY done it themselves!

A fool and his money are soon parted. Hire professionals who know what they’re doing and can DEMONSTRATE that they have!

Love yourself up!

Often times we count on things we *thought* we heard.   This is REALLY important for salespeople.

Did they say that they *might* make it for a demonstration….or did the reserve spots for people?

Did they say they *think your solution is perfect” or did they lay out the buying process for you?

Did they say they “are delighted with your presentation” or did they sign the contract?

It’s OK to let people decide when they do, just don’t fool yourself that something is handled.

Be in reality and you will RULE!!!!

Do it anyway!

I just got finished reading a truly stellar book by T. Harv Eker – and in it he makes the case that if you do the easy things, life is hard. And if you do the hard things, life is easy!!!

Hmmmmm…….. a whole new look at the importance of keeping the laundry clean – ON TIME!! Or going to the gym, ON SCHEDULE!!!

Start practicing the muscle of doing the hard stuff, saying the hard things. Give yourself a break if you’re not really great at it right away. But, DON’T STOP!!!

Love your life up!

I hate traveling. Maybe you do, too.

But, the fact remains that if you want to pour gasoline on the embers of your business – get in your car – hop a plane. Get in FRONT of as many people as you can.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a trip is worth a million! THEN PACK YOUR CALENDAR – anything less then four meetings a day is weeny!

What professional and personal development budget have you put aside for yourself this year? Brian Tracy recommends at least 3% of your income be spent on learning.

Learning about business, learning about sales, learning about personal development.

All of it gives you an edge!!!

So, what’s your plan for the year?

Ever notice how when you’re taking something on – taking it all on – ALL of it is YOUR job and everyone you work with is thinking that it’s all THEIR job – and you really do something magical…..

……that you don’t get tired at all?
