Say the phrase, “I gotta live with it...” & notice how your mind & body physically & psychology shift. Do you feel strong and able or weak and helpless? It’s amazing when you’re facing adversity, if you remove the word “with” & replacing with “for” how you’ll begin to change your whole situation around. “I (gotta) live with this.” Vs “It’s hard, but I live for this!” “With” is acceptance. “For“ is advancement. 🛑The Sales Life is on IGTV: @therealsaleslife 🛑Subscribe to The Sales Life W/ Mar...

"The person with their hand always up is going to get promoted before you. They're going to get the office before you. They going to leverage their promotion to a better paying job before you even get a raise. You were better trained, better prepared. But you didn't let the world see that because you were scared. That fear is going to stop you from getting full value for your work. Don't let that happen. ~ Curtis (50 Cent) Jackson "Hustle Harder. Hustle Smarter." ——————————————— Your future is d...

You’ll often see a pacer in races. They’re the ones out in front setting the expectations of others. Relationships, finances, wellness, health, & your career, you’ll start off being the pacer, but wind up doing the pacing- falling to the cadence of others. Today’s TSL Post-it note: When you slow to someone else’s pace, you’ll fall to their results. Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marshbuice/message

I resist the urge to jump in when a young manager asks for help because the only way he’ll learn what to fix is by learning what to look for. Your growth is tied to your hands on experience. When you’re doing or seeing something new, don’t be so quick to ask for help. Sitting in the tension to figure it out will give you the experience to learn to “see” differently as well as tame the voices screaming Mayday! Abort! In your head.

“You have to know form in order to break form...you have to know structure in order to break structure. Otherwise you’re just shortcutting.” ~Michael Gervais You want the quick results so you ask, “What can I get away with NOT doing & still get massive results?” The short answer? Nothing grand. An athlete makes an awkward shot. An entrepreneur pushes all of his chips in & hits big. A top producer makes a sale on the lips of a disaster... & you think, “me too.” 🔥The difference between them a...

“Every next level of your life demands a new version of you.” Inky Johnson Why be so quick to pop off and show people where you came from? If you want to show them, let it be in distance, act in such a way that is so far removed from who you once were & how you once handled things to productively bring about a resolution. You can leap to new environments- new town, boo, or job, but if you haven’t changed your mind, you’re never gonna change your results. TSL Post-it note quote: “If the ‘at’ y...

Not quite ready to start that blog, channel, page, or podcast? Working on the details- doing a little more research before launching that message? Want it perfect, right? It’ll suck. Even if you think it’s good, you’ll look back on it embarrassed & I hope you are, because that’ll prove to you just how far you’ve come. Got an idea? Execute. Period. 🔥Here’s your TSL Post-it Note for today: “A decision executed is a good decision because even if you fail, a loss today is a win in the process bec...

Because average is the base camp of great. So you fell asleep at the wheel...your pants are tighter & your sales are lighter. I bet when I talk to you, you’re telling me how you used to look and live right? And you were soooo close, right? You almost had it going on like “them.” And now look at you. Everything you do is spoken in past tense & present failure which only affirms your mental narrative that you’ll never get back to “once was.” You’re right, you won’t. Because we’re gonna go highe...

In episode 517 we talked about the need for endurance, but let’s skip back to effort again because effort only once is a result, but if you reapply your skills with even more effort, you’ll = achievement. Today we work off of Angela Duckworth’s formula for massive achievement. Talent x Effort = Skill. Skill x Effort = Achievement. People who are less talented than you are doing better than you, not because they work twice as hard- but because they apply effort twice as much as you. Share the ...

When comedian Steve Martin is asked his advice on how to be successful it’s pretty simple. “Be so good they can’t ignore you.” Today we’re riffing from @calnewport book “So good they can’t ignore you.” Adopt a “Craftsman’s Mindset” & stop playing against “tha man” & start molding your career. If you keep getting passed over or not even considered for perks or extras...it’s because you’re not even a part of the conversation. Mold yourself into the kind of person that the world can’t ignore yo...

New month, new goals, right? With renewed optimism THIS is gonna be your month. To achieve your goals it’s gonna take massive effort...we all know that. Effort = Reward. But what isn’t talked about is it’s gonna take endurance too. Endurance is the ability to stay in the tension for as long as you can, release, aNd quickly jump back in the tension, lengthening your emotional and physical rope. Endurance is your superpower. Not only for delayed gratification but gratification when delayed. Tex...

Believe it or not, although he’s definitely had some way low’s, Mike Tyson said his rock bottom moment was when he became the Heavyweight Champion of the world. When he had no name, money, or belt he always wanted to train, but once he had it all, he didn’t want to train to defend it.

“I can’t take it anymore!” Said that a few thousand times? Yea, me too, when things aren’t working. It’s times like this that you have to remember you’re playing in the gap between “Fake it till I make it” & “Make it till I make it.” You’re playing in the “take it” gap & interpreting it wrong.

Text or send me a voice memo! I want to hear from you 337-565-0906 David Clark was remembered on Rich Roll’s podcast. Rich played a previous conversation he had with David- his story was amazing to transforming from a 320 lb raging alcoholic who could only run 15 seconds, to one who ran some of those rigorous ultra runs ever. Clark said, “I didn't want to just run a marathon. I want to BE the one who runs marathons.” There’s a difference between checking a box and saying I did it to one who em...

“Need to so you never have to again.” Today is a “heavy have to” for me. There are days where I’m ramped up & excited about the future. But today’s not one of those days. It’s what I call a “heavy have to,” where the obligations weigh you down & call you out. “You want to do what?” & “Be what?” The heavy have to’s will fill you with doubt and make you feel like a fool. But I do what I need to do anyway. See, have to is an obligation, “I have to go to work & pay bills,” but “need to” is an opp...

When you look at an athlete, actor, entrepreneur- or anyone who is successful, you often are looking for their advantages & telling yourself that they made it “because of” (their gifts or luck). But their story is just like yours. The story you see today looks like they made it “because of” something unique, but their back story is that they made it “in spite of.” Put your thumbs to work! 👍Share today’s message with someone who needs it. 🔔 Hit the notification button for new daily episodes. ...

Benjamin Hardy writes that one of the psychological keys to Kobe Bryant’s success was his refractory period. Your refractory period is the amount of time it takes to emotionally recover & move on from an experience. KB had a short memory. He took the shot and moved on to the next one. The key to being psychologically flexible is to, “Expect everything & attach to nothing.” You lower your expectations because you get lost in the process & accept what is. ...but not any more 😉💪 ——————————— P...

(Sorry for the audio quality. Experimenting w/ new equipment so I need to tweak it.) On his show Maxed Out, Ed Mylett made an off-hand comment to John Maxwell. “Who would’ve ever thought a preacher could leave his church and go on to become one of the most prolific thought leaders in business (& life), selling over 30 million books.” Maxwell responder, “It doesn’t make sense does it?” I’m sure, taking the leap into the business world over two decades ago & looking back on the millions of live...

Double your abilities by optimizing “hard” “The ability of the average man can be DOUBLED if their situation demanded it.” Will Durant Think back...when you were in the clutch of a situation you doubled your abilities and made it happen, right? Kids, 12 hour work days, single parenting, or a new baby is hard, but think of the learning curve. The “hard” forces you to have to learn faster...think of you applied this to other areas of your life. You don’t have a time problem you have an optimi...

507. “Your noun needs a new verb.” On your path to change, you will suffer emotional & physical injuries along the way. Injuries are a part of it, but the word injury is a noun & your recovery has EVERYTHING to do with what comes after that noun. Past tense, past results...dead future.

Self- worth is the OPINION you place on the value that you bring. Being that you’ve got no problem remembering all of your mistakes & failures you pronounce have a low self worth. Which is why you depend on material things & others to make you feel worthy. Today changes all of that. You set your worth & if you want to change your worth you must put yourself in situations that EXCEED your current self-worth.

Jason Feifer Editor & Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine said on Heather Monahan’s “Creating Confidence” Podcast “You have 2 sets of opportunities: Opportunity Set A: All the things people are asking you to do. ie Boss, expectations.
