#90 Do your best
As a parent, it’s important to remember to do your best...not be the best...bc you’re never going to be “the best”... there’s always something - even if you could do it over again...something you could’ve done better. Today’s eppy is not just for parents..it’s for all of us to simply do the best with what you know and where you are. Don’t condemn yourself- don’t let others pull you down...stretch, take action, learn, & keep moving. Much ❤️! Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marshbuice/...

#89 A’s, B’s, & See’s
John Ruskin wrote, “...the greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is see something & tell what it saw in a plain way.” This is one of those quotes that has a different meaning each time you read it. Today’s eppy is about seeing and sharing what you see in a plain way—that’s what this podcast is..a collection of my see’s and how it relates to me. The thought being if I see it and share it, not only do I see deeper bc I refine and share, but it’ll cause others to think, see, & share w...

#88 That’s your problem
Reading Actor/Comedian Kevin Hart’s biography “I can’t make this up: Life Lessons,” he writes that it’s easy to complain about how hard and stressful your life is, but if you stepped into the shoes of someone you envy- even for a day, you’d realize that they have problems too- some worse than you. In today’s eppy, you may think that you’re the only one going through...and you’re right...you’re the only one going through YOUR ordeal- it’s yours, but it’s yours for a process not a punishment.

#87 Who’s believing who?
If you find you’re in a sales slump (or even a slump in life) you need to ask yourself, “Who’s believing who?” You’re quick to believe what others initially say as the gospel truth & bc you believe what they say, you shut down & never give them a chance to believe in you. Today’s episode deals with building your Believability Factor-from not only looking & sounding believable, but also not letting others initially shape your thought process. 👉👉👉share your thoughts and ideas @ thesaleslife1@gmail...

#86 That’s a guarantee 👌
Tom Bilyeu (he’s got a good podcast btw) has a saying, “When it comes to failure, success isn’t guaranteed, but the struggle is.” I just finished Nike co-founder Phil Knight’s memoir “Shoe Dog” and you talk about struggle...this guy faced annihilation sooo many times ...no cash, operating in the red most of the time- robbing Peter to pay Paul, betrayed, chased by the FBI, & slapped with a $25 million bill from Uncle Sam....oh he struggled but it was worth it. Today’s episode is a reminder that i...

#85 You ain’t built for this!
As told in Jon Kabat-Zinn’s book “Coming To Our Senses” (on sale for $2.99 on Kindle) you’ve got 125 Billion Miles Of DNA threads inside of your body...if you’ve got miles of sophistication & architecture on the inside..what is your DNA on the outside?

Mo is your best friend
I get you want to sell 20 cars...lose 30 lbs....or save $5000, but if you’ve never achieved these feats then the mere goal alone can cause you to quit before ever getting started. Brendon Burchard had a great nugget Tom Bilyeau’s podcast. Instead of focusing on the end goal focus instead on building momentum...it’s the consistent next step that will build you momentum and yield so much more than just a notch on the board, belt loop, or bank account. 👉👉There’s a great motivational video 212 The E...

There’s oil down there 👇
It’s funny how you can jot something down & look back at it much later and it carries a much larger meaning at the perfect time. I ran across a quote I wrote from John Gray’s book “ I Am Number 8”...”The next time you feel you’re walking/working to a place of mediocrity, know God never sends greatness to mediocre places for the mediocrity to remain. He doesn’t send light where light already is...He sends light to darkness & makes sure you have enough oil to sustain you.”......Today’s episode is ...

Stay Mungry
Charlie Munger, the 93 year old billionaire investor, partner, & Vice Chairman of Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway (1 share is worth $296,400 by the way) has missed out on many chances- chances that could’ve added to his mounting fortune. We’ve all had missed chances in life, but Munger has a unique perspective on moving through his missed chances that he got reading the philosophy of Epictetus. “Every missed chance in life is an opportunity to behave well; learn something; & it’s your duty no...

Compound Benefits
I don’t think we give enough thought to compounding benefits. In relationships, weight loss, even in sales- yes there’s the initial investment, and when looked at with the right perspective, look at the multiple benefits from that one investment - lessons & adjustments that can be reinvested along the way resulting in massive, long-term results..(and even more benefits).—-Please take a few seconds to rate ⭐️ the show and review so others can see if it’s worth subscribing to—-always love the feed...

Be about it dont talk about it
Actor Kevin Costner said, “..wisdom is nothing more than the ability to take your own advice. It’s actually very easy to give people advice” Today’s episode asks “Why is it so much easier to give someone else advice than take your own?” (My son came in the room & sat while recording this so I’m glad he heard my admission) —-thank you for taking a few minutes to listen in—-what’s your take?

There’s no cap on innovation
In a recent interview w Arianna Huffington- the founder of the Huff Post, she said she doesn’t believe in looking at the competition bc when you when you do you cease being innovative. Today’s episode pulls the rip chord on comparing other’s results to your potential.

Yea but I know
Stan is one of my favorite people I see in my local grocery store...you know the kind of person that you hit it off the first time you meet him. He’s one of those guys that when he asks “How are you doing?” he sticks around to really hear your answer. Recently I was getting some produce and Stan was arranging the apples 🍎 to my right. One if the apples 🍏 fell and Stan did something that most would not...but could. 👉👉Thank you for tuning into the show👉👉Feedback & suggestions are always welcome @ ...

Reflection
I’m closing this week with Letter 15 Of Eric Greitens’ book “Resilience.” This Letter is probably the most important in my life right now bc I’ve done a poor job reflecting...taking a moment to reflect. Not reflecting has caused me to end up bankrupt, divorced, and reaping the consequences of poor decisions. I’m where I am today through a lack of reflection. Today is a game changer for me. I will take a minute each day to ask 4 questions: Why am I here? What’s going on around me? What am I going...

The value of pain
Letter 13 of Eric Greitens' book "Resilience" is the Letter of Pain. CS Lewis called pain "God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world." Pain wakes us up..shakes us from our beds of satisfaction and complacency...he writes that there are 2 kinds of pain: The pain we seek...& the Pain that seeks us. Seeking pain is bettering yourself... but what about the pain that seeks us... that singles us out...well there's value in that too. Finding the wisdom in the hurt.

Recently when I went jogging I hit the road and walked right into a stiff headwind...a cold front was pushing through--my eyes burned-my earbuds kept blowing out...I wanted to quit...but as I kept going I found new corners and things changed.

Maybe you're a casket maker
Sometimes instead of having "Manager," "CEO," or "Director Of anything" on our business card...sometimes mine should've read Casket Maker bc I killed the hopes and dreams of those who worked for me.
