#408 It’s not enough to just be a shooter 🏀

In a clip I came across, Dr. Jordan Peterson said, 🔥”...overshoot continually...because as you overshoot-even if you don’t learn what you should’ve done, you’re going to continually learn what you shouldn’t keep doing...that’ll teach you at the same time what you should be doing...” It’s not enough to just shoot... You must overshoot. New salespeople must overshoot. They must make up in numbers what they lack on skill...it’s in the overshooting that they learn 3x in situational experiences wi...

#407 It was 6th grade...& you dropped out.

My daughter MacKenzie started 6th grade this year... Bigger school, triple the number of students, changing classes, mean girls, & strict teachers. One of her teachers called her out & unleashed her wrath when Mack broke a class rule. Upset, she first went to her brother who went to the same school years ago. “Don’t worry,” he said, “they’re just like that in 6th grade...but 7th gets easier, & 8th is the best....just get to 8th grade.” Many times we drop out in Life, because we get to the “6t...

#405 Inconsistency isn’t your problem...Consistency is.

You’re inconsistent when it comes to working out regularly... You’re inconsistent in saving more & swiping your credit card less... You’re inconsistent in having date night every Friday. But you’re consistent in the way that you see yourself... “The strongest force in the human personality is the need to stay consistent in the way that we see ourselves.” ~Tony Robbins You’re consistent in your self-image & that’s why you’re not seeing any progress. Recently I was reading “Fearvana” by Aksh...

#404 A shield...a sword...& a sanctuary

When asked if he gets nervous before an NBA basketball game he said, “Nah...basketball doesn’t make me nervous...people, family, & life off the court make me nervous.” “Basketball is my shield...no matter what’s going on in my life, I can lace up and just play ball.” ———————— Thinking he’s about to quit on me, I confront my salesperson. “I’m not quitting, Marsh, I’m just dealing w/ a lot of shit right now.” “I took yesterday off to go play golf & get away from it all.” Golf was his sanctuary...

#403 What’s your volume at?

What’s your volume at..not in your vehicle or surround sound... I’m talking about your volume...& your impact. What are you doing to amplify your year? 🔥Was this supposed to be your year...only it’s not? 🔥Or maybe this is your year! You, David, Kinny, William, & Mike all have had a kick ass year... But there’s more.... Life is not balanced, it’s blended. Think of your life as one of those sound boards you find in a music studio. Not all of the dials are set equally, but the finished version...

#402 “What we see is what we do..”

Do you remember the term that was used when you were growing up, “Monkey see, monkey do,” meaning you do what the other kid is doing? You may not still use the term, but you’re still playing the game...it’s called “What you see is what you do.” We do what we see...we grew up living on assistance, working for minimum wage, never going to college, or never leaving your hometown. We see what others can’t (or won’t) & think we can’t either. Today is graduation day for you. You’re graduating from...

#401 “Excellence is the next 5 minutes...”

Tom Peters said that when people hear the word “excellence” they get all twisted up in meaning. “Perfect” ...”Unblemished”...”Model” ...it’s all bs... “Excellence is the next 5 minutes.” How freeing is that? We beat ourselves up bc we look at ourselves & our current situation & give up bc we think we’ll never fit into our mental mold of excellence 1000 miles down the road. Excellence is the next 5 minutes: the next email you write..the next convo you have w/ your child...the next action you ta...

TSL Bonus Episode: The Winning Formula: 0 minus 2 + 2

In sales, we love the “should be’s.” This “should be” a deal...he “should be” coming in to buy tomorrow...I “should be” @ $10k by the end of the month. Only the “should be’s” don’t always show up. And when they don’t, those deals you mentally cashed, emotionally bankrupt you & your month. So here’s my formula for you: 0 minus 2 plus 2 0: zero out any mind deals you have. Yesterday ended last night so zero any progress from yesterday. Minus 2: Work as of you’re broke & sell as if you’re rich....

#400 Make payments on the value

Today we’re talking about Value over Price, but not from a retail perspective but more so as it relates to your life. You see the value of transitioning your life, but then you notice the price...the price seems too large to pay, so you end up doing nothing. Why not tear a page from the financial world, when the price seems dauntingly large, make payments on your value. Make the price so small, it’s a no brainer to take action. As you do, you’ll pay a higher price because you’ll see a greater va...

“Think man...think!” How much time do you give to thinking? Probably not much...unless your forced to think in a certain situation...but what about after you’ve gotten all of your To-do’s done for the day? What do you do next? Watch TV, drink, go to tomorrow’s to-do’s, grab the next book, jump on social media, watch YouTube...we do ANYTHING but think. 💪Today’s episode is to make you aware to be busy, less...& think more bc you’ll never get it all done nor springboard ahead just by being busy.

Oh yes you do ....we all have insecurities- it’s just most people don’t know what all of yours are.

#396 ”You knew me...but you don’t know me..”

That’s how former NFL player Trent Shelton addresses those who judge him by his past. Like Trent, e-ver-eeeee-one, everyone has a past...we’ve all got some yesterdays we’re not proud of...which is why we don’t play big today. We know this & don’t want to raise up the skeletons, so keep our heads down & stay to ourselves...we just do our “job” & go home...I say F🖕 all that...you got so much more to give-not us...but to yourself. If they’re gonna judge you, give ‘em something to talk about. ~Stay ...

#394 Mercy, mercy...have more diversity

Diversity is what we call in the South a gumbo (mouth waters 🤤)...it’s a mixture of unlike things. Businesses want to be diverse in their mix of employees & management...Netflix is diverse in what shows they offer you...but when it comes to our own lives we often lack diversity...we lack unlikeness. We hang, watch, & discuss things with people who act, think, & are like us & over time it’s made you rigid in thought, hostile @ times, & inflexible. Today’s episode challenges you to 1)hang with peo...

#393 Do the verb don’t be the noun

This week’s title & thoughts come from Austin Kleon’s book, “Keep Going.” I love Austin’s books because they have pictures (😂) & aren’t very long reads. ⭐️Today’s episode urges you to stop chasing your nouns in Life, i.e. positions, titles, statuses & just do your verb. Do the work & when you do, your noun will show up in the right way. • WE ARE ON FACEBOOK! Join The Sales Life with Marsh Buice Facebook group and get 'Mo Sales Life!

#391 Never trust the Dopamine!

Steven Kotler (who wrote one of my favorite books “The Rise of Superman”) said on a recent podcast w/ Michael Gervais, “Rule #1: Never trust the dopamine.” Dopamine is the neurochemical that is released into your system when you get recognized, likes, retweets, or reach celebrity status. ⭐️The danger with chasing the dopamine is you never get off the treadmill of chasing the next praise, soliciting the next round of applause, and craving the next compliment & in doing so, you start skipping step...

#390 Find & Play to your edge

“The Edge is the place where the hair on the back of your head stands up...when you’ve achieved a level of clarity unlike any other...when you know exactly what you must do..” but often don’t.⭐️What’s Your Edge? You have an edge, but often you look at your edge as a ledge- afraid that if you take the leap, there’s no coming back. But, “Life is not one leap...it’s a series of leaps.” Tommy Baker. ⭐️Time to get leapin’. 😉💪 Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marshbuice/message

#389 You know where to find me!

Today's episode is deeply personal for me & was a revelation after I read an interview between Howard Stern and Hip Hop's first Billionaire Jay Z, retold in his self titled book, "Howard Stern Comes Again." Jay told Stern of his anger he had with his father who abandoned his wife and children to avenge the death of his brother. At age 12 Jay & his fractured family were left to fight and survive the harsh, crack-filled streets of Brooklyn, NY alone. A month before his father's death, Jay Z & his ...

#388 You’re Basic

When David Epstein worked for Sports Illustrated, students would often write him & ask him for advice if they should major in journalism or writing?...Epstein couldn’t answer that question because he majored in Geology & Astronomy. ⭐️ How in the world would those skills enable him to leap past a pool of others waiting to be the next beat writer? ⭐️Oliver Smith wrote, “You’re probably not going to have totally unique skills...& you're probably not going to have totally unique problems...so take y...

#387 "Of" Moments

When I was reading Tommy Baker's book, "The Leap of Your Life" he mentioned a book that peaked my curiosity titled, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway," by Susan Jeffers, so I started reading that one too :) In it, Jeffers writes, "You are not responsible for all of the experiences IN your Life, but you are responsible for the experiences OF your Life." As I continued reading, I kept coming back to that thought. You are going to have some bad shit happen in your Life-many times outside of your cont...

#386 The hero is in the heroic

I was listening to an author on a podcast the other day & he said, "No single day is heroic, the secret is showing up..." Initially I was like "YES!" I running with that thought, but the more I got to thinking, it didn't seem right because the heroic act is in the single days...when you don't feel like showing up...yet you do. The heroic is showing up "anyway." WE ARE ON FACEBOOK! Join The Sales Life with Marsh Buice Facebook group and get 'Mo Sales Life! Extra clips, videos-what I'm reading & ...
