Like 1,237,314 other parents I didn’t feel like cooking so I stopped and grabbed the kids something from McDonald’s & the guy taking my order stuttered. I was amazed- I know what it’s like to stutter bc I used to as well (bad)...& here he is having to work the drive thru! When I asked him why did they put him in the drive thru he told me, “They didn’t put me here-I asked to be put here...” Today’s episode is a challenge to take the path of most resistance instead of least. Seeing how he handled ...

There are many times I’ll record the podcast & then read something later that I wish I would’ve added with a “Oh by the way” segment. After yesterday’s episode of pulling the emotion out of a decision you’re about to make & getting back on track when you do screw up, I was reading retired poker player Annie Dukes book “Thinking In Bets” & she uses a 10-10-10 rule to make better decisions by putting the regret in front of the decision...how many times would be want a do over in certain situations...

This lady grabbed a handful of complimentary donuts 🍩 justifying it by saying “I know I shouldn’t but didn’t eat breakfast this morning!” ...and I’m not judging I did it just the other day by eating a half bag of nachos & chili . ...why do we do things KNOWING it’s only going to make things worse? Knowing we’re going to beat ourselves up continuously afterward. Today’s episode is about Acceptance of the Exception...what to do when you feel the pull of emotions to give consent to making a poor de...

Anders Ericsson has the “10,000 hour rule” which was made popular by Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers” & the idea is to be world class at something you’ve got to deliberately practice 10k hours. We all agree that to gain an advantage & move up in Life you must practice...but do you practice being dumped..divorced..bankrupt..being passed over or stabbed in the back...we damn sure don’t want 10,000 hours of disaster but the question is when tough, altering moments ensure how do you practice bc li...

So the month ends...so a new month begins. So goes the Life of a salesperson & being you & I are selling our way through Life- I’m taking to you (& me). A couple of weeks ago a salesperson was having a rough go of the month telling me he NEEDed to make a certain amount to pull his month out...we talked about some things and he got it together and made his month...but once he got it he let up. Today’s episode is talking about working from a “Need” mindset all month long ...not just when you’re in...

Many of us- me included place a large % of our identity on what we do at work...others of us are so stuck up our kid’s butts people don’t know where the kid ends and the parent begins.

(Identities I said not multiple personalities 😬) 👉👉I hope you’re getting some use out of these podcasts👉👉Please take a minute to rate &/or review the show as well a...

Takeru Kobayashi is a Japanese competitor who came on the scene by winning the Nathan’s Coney Island Hot Dog 🌭 Eating Contest. He blew up the previous record- doubling the results by asking the question how can make eating hot dogs “easier.” Easy tends to have a negative connotation when it comes to making strides of accomplishments- we think to do something worthwhile it’s gotta be grueling..that’s just not the case. Sometimes great results are found in the way we ask the questions. 👉👉👉Thanks f...

Pop was a crude ass equipment manager I had while playing football @ McNeese State- as a freshman he would cuss you out if you tried to get new equipment...but he got nicer to you as the years went by. My junior year I wanted a pair of gloves (for fashion) but Pop wouldn’t buy them & when I pressed him he told me “Son my only job is to equip you so that you have a fighting chance to win & whatever the hell I give you, you go out there & fight to win...” 👉👉Today’s eppy: You are the equipment mana...

In 1957 a monastery in Thailand was relocating and a group of monks had to move a giant clay statue of Buddha. As they began to move it, they noticed a crack & decided to leave it for a day. One of the monks returned later & shined his flashlight over the statue and onto the crack & noticed something that we all possess. 👉👉Thanks for tuning in & sharing.

Last night I asked my daughter if she had homework..she had 2 pages left- the first one she banged out, but the second?!!....man she hemmed & hawed not wanting to read the short story & answer the questions on the back. ...it’s funny how Life will teach us something from a innocent 5th grade homework assignment 👉👉👉Thanks for listening..I appreciate the support and feedback.

Seeing a little boy in his driveway, knees bent looking up into the thick, fluffy clouds really got to me. I realized as a “grown up” I stopped looking up & imagining everything that is available to me...so many possibilities...I created my own fences & stopped making my beliefs. Today’s episode is a reminder to me (& you) that although Life can take crazy turns, it’s never too late to make your beliefs unlimited again. 👉👉Go handle up👉👉I’ll see you on the Blacktop!

The 7 day forecast is calling for rain...and even though it may rain everyday, I still have to go to work, take the kids to school, go to the store, & workout...in other words Life still has to go on- I just have to adjust and keep it moving. It’s crazy how we see the storms coming in the commonalities of Life, but when we see the dark skies of something potentially more serious we freeze up..Fearcasting instead of forecasting- we accept and do nothing productivly instead of seeing what’s loomin...

A friend of mine told me the other day that he’d bought a boat for a fraction of the price bc it had a cracked frame. He re-welded, replaced the rivets & now it’s as good as new...his young son gets out there w him too & occasionally builds things on his own. When I asked him how he’s taught his son how to do these things he said that he tells his son, “When you’re struggling, make progress first then come ask for help if you haven’t figured it out.” Right then & there I realized that I’ve been ...

Now I like The Jeffersons, Good Times, & Martin- I’m not talking about those reruns..I’m talking about the reruns of negative emotions that have become unconsciously layered..entrenched within...reruns that have sabotaged your success & caused you to always pick Mr/Mrs Wrong. Why do you keep picking crazy...why are you barely getting by even though you make more...why you can’t make a come up in Life? Reruns dude...listen in👉👉Share your thoughts w me @ thesaleslife1@gmail.com👉👉Thanks for listeni...

Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard Brain Scientist who suffered a stroke causing her to lose her memory, speech, & the ability to think about the future. In many ways it was the worst thing that could’ve happened to her..but it also one of the best things that could’ve happened for her. In her book “Stroke of Insight” Taylor discovered that a chemical is automatically released in our system when powerful emotions such as anger, jealousy, & resentment are triggered- the chemical shoots through & out ...

Recently I learned 3 plays from sports psychologist / mental toughness coach Graham Betchart. These plays piggyback well in what we’ve been talking about recently which is looking at mistakes differently, not letting humps become Himalayas (mountains) in your Life, & working with precision not “ish.” I’d urge you to find the holes in your daily performance and go back and listen to those episodes. So Graham starts by giving his professional athletes 3 plays: W.I.N, Play Present, & Next Play Spee...

Ever have one of those days when you just put a little extra stank on everything that you’re doing? I had one of those days the other day and when I caught myself I had to ask & laugh, “Seriously, why you mad?” Today’s eppy is about not getting mad..but staying mad. Staying mad ain’t gonna be very productive for ya. 👉👉Thanks for tuning in- if you’d take a minute to rate & leave a quick review of the show (you can do it from your phone at the bottom of the Library section in your podcasts) I’d ap...

In speaking to a new salesperson- I never could get her to work with more customers- she knew her product & had worked in a male dominated industry before, so what was it? When I asked her she said, “I don’t have a high need like these other salespeople- they have rent to pay & I just have to make a lot...” I told her that “This isn’t just about you....” 👉👉No matter what your title is, we’re all in Sales and this eppy is for you. 👉👉Please Share your thoughts and episode w someone who you think c...
