#479 Don’t break the chain of momentum

I want to play a clip of Ed Mylett & Gary V talking about the power of momentum...then I’m gonna riff on it. Momentum is a tricky thing because you never know when it'll come...and when you realize it's gone, it's too late. Please share today's message with 1 person who could use it. Connect with me!

#478 Meet the charge with your presence

I couldn't imagine what if would feel like to face a charging lion. Boyd Varty has had plenty of experience with this in the wild. He is a lion tracker and author of "The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life." On his podcast, he told Aubrey Marcus that when you are facing a charging lion, you must stand, step forward, and meet the charge with your presence. A charging lion came so close to Varty, that when he screeched to a halt, the sand flew into Varty's mouth. "The lion must perceive you as dangero...

#477 Great negotiating is helping the other side think.

Ohhhhh no! The word “NEGOTIATE.” Don’t skip this one bc we don’t negotiate strictly as a profession, we all negotiate in every area of your life. “Great negotiating is helping the other side think...if you make this decision, here are some potentialities of making that decision.” Parents w/ kids...Teachers w/students ...Salespeople w/customers...Customers w/ salespeople 😉So many ways to empower you w/ the art of thinking. Never settle, keep selling your way through life. Send in a voice message...

#476 The path of not here: You may not be on the right track, but you're on the right path

Today I'm playing a clip between lion tracker Boyd Varty (author of the book "A Lion Tracker's Guide To Life") & Aubrey Marcus. (Aubrey's got a good podcast you should check out.) Part of tracking is a "willingness to try new things. Lion trackers know that part of tracking is that you will lose the track and end of on the 'path of not here.'" & that's part of the path :) Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marshbuice/message

#475 The more you care, the more you prepare

Most people like success...they’d like to have a leaner body...they’d like to have a fat paycheck...they’d like to have a thriving relationship. But do you really care? Do you pay serious attention to it...do you look for it...do you provide for it...do you give it thought? If you really really cared, you’d be ready for it Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marshbuice/message

#474 How to develop your inner circle

Social media generates followers, "friends," and connections, but I've never thought about developing an inner circle. I thought inner circles were for the Oprah's, Tyler Perry's, and Warren Buffet's of this world. Melissa Burrow author of "Chasing Bentleys: The power of accountability in achieving your goals" (get the book) designed a powerful checklist on building powerful connections and developing your Inner Circle. Motivational or Inspirational Leaders: These help you see & leverage your ...

#473 Few now...few later

This was my 92nd episode I recorded and realized that I’d never published it so it’s been sitting in my drafts for a couple of years. Today is a remix of that episode. 🔥The question time you, “Are you doing what most or few are doing?” If you’re a part of few, you’re in good company. If you’re a part of most, you’re in trouble.

#472 There are no shortcuts...only 2nd times around

People look at the money I earn in sales & think “I want to do that!” but they only see the results of a story that has taken me 22 years to write... & I’m still writing it. Your elders will tell you there are no shortcuts in life, yet we’re always trying to find the quickest way to be successful yet spared of the pain. The story of how it’s done is the shortcut...but how your story of how it is written requires the long road. That’s why I say, “There are no shortcuts but there are second times ...

#471 You can't see options with assumptions. Use your experience to leverage, not judge.

When I was hired into sales, the 1rst piece of advice that I got was, "Don't assume anything." Don't assume you know who's a buyer and who's a liar. Don't assume you know if they'll put more money down or take a vehicle with less equipment or higher miles. Think how costly assumptions are to you. Priceless... Experience coupled with assumptions leads to frustration and frustration leads to stress. Think about the times you're stressed out. You're stressed because you've made an appraisal of how ...

#470 Some days I don't need encouragement...I need a command

Sports psychologist Michael Gervais (he's got a really good podcast called "Finding Mastery") embarked on a 30 mile paddle board competition, but on mile 21 he was disoriented and found himself on his knees. The boat trailing him couldn't help him-otherwise he'd be disqualified, but the boat captain walked to the edge of the boat and yelled out, "GET UP!" "ONE PADDLE!" That was it... Sometimes when we find ourselves on our knees in life, that's all we need. We don't need encouragement...we nee...

#469 Invest in "Big Energy" people.

"You are the people that you keep." ~Ryan Serhant Who are the people that you keep? Who do you chop it up with the most? Would you want to be like them? If you were like them, would you be giving up the life that you have now or would you be reaching reach up to a level that you'd want to be? Maybe some of the people have been with you since middle school-you've been through the gutters and fire with them...but do they have some place higher to be like you? Are you constantly having to pick th...

#468 Don’t wait for “the other side...”

There are 3 types of salespeople right now: 1)Those who are waiting for the all clear in order to go back to work 2)Those who believe that things are going to be great “on the other side of this” 3)Those who get better now so when better comes they’re the best. @ChaseJarvis author of "Creative Calling" was one of the best photographers in the world. His business doubled after the 2008 financial crises, because of what he was doing DURING the financial crises. Don't wait for "the other side" ...

#465 Self-talk alone is a lie

“Self talk without the work is just a lie.”~David Goggins You can print out the affirmations & put them on your bathroom mirror...you can recite them from the back of a book 3x a day if you want to, but if it’s not backed by hard work...it’s just a lie. Hard work is a reminder to not give in. Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marshbuice/message

#459 Character can be your fate or your destiny.

Author Robert Greene added to Greek philosopher Heraclitus’ quote & discussed it on Jordan Paris’ podcast. I’ve been on both sides of the coin. Because of my character I was nearly destroyed...& other times I’ve risen to the occasion. One thing is certain, adversity always comes back & when it does, you’ll be revealed.

#458 Stop competing at eye level

Riffing from Benjamin Hardy’s great book “Willpower Doesn’t Work,” about who you’re competing with. If your skills are developing fast enough or your career is at a standstill, it’s because your competing at eye level & not “there” level. You can’t be taller but you can compete taller.
