Pain Is Temporary - Lance Armstrong

_____

"Pain is temporary.
Quitting lasts forever."

Lance Armstrong (1971 - )
U.S. cyclist, 7-time winner
of the Tour de France
cancer survivor

sales moral:
be tenacious

sales lesson:
Losing a deal to a low-cost provider can sometimes be more valuable in the long run.

When the lowest-priced product or service doesn't meet the expectations of a customer, a deeper appreciation of the price/ value relationship is developed. This can create a new sales opportunity from what was initially lost - an opportunity for a much stronger business relationship than otherwise may have existed.

sales check:
are you giving your team something to believe in?
what about your customers?

sales challenges:
Over the next four weeks, invest some time (outside the money hours) in creating a deliberate plan to help your team (consistently) embrace the purpose and vision of your organization, and understand how they are the key drivers to its success. If you do not lead the team by title, suggest the idea to your manager (or lead by example).

Once that plan is in place, invest some time in considering how you might do the same with your customers. What plan could you put in place that would create a consistent and true level of enthusiasm about your company and its products/ services?

Think "how you can" before raising the challenges.

Diana Ross (1944 - )
American singer

On What You Can Do - John Wooden

MOTIVATIONAL MOTIVATIONAL - MOTIVATIONALblog.blogspot.com
_____

"Don't let what you cannot do interfere
with what you can do."

John Wooden (1910 - )
Hall of Fame basketball coach for UCLA
won a record 10 NCAA men's championships

sales quiz:
what’s the NCAA basketball tournament
worth to the teams?

sales answer:
This year, just an invitation to play in the NCAA tournament is worth more than $164,000 -- plus an additional $164,000+ for each game played, according to The Washington Post. This year’s Final Four teams (Florida, George Mason, LSU and UCLA) each earned more than $984,000 for their play up to this point, but the NCAA doesn’t pay a financial incentive for the championship game.

The money goes to the conferences, which are encouraged to split the take among all conference schools. With two teams (Florida and LSU) in the Final Four, and a total of 17 tournament games played by its teams, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) has earned nearly $3.8 million for the 2006 tournament.

The NCAA basketball championship airs tonight on CBS.

MOTIVATIONAL MOTIVATIONAL - MOTIVATIONALblog.blogspot.com
_____

THE COURAGE TO BEGIN SEPARATES DREAMERS FROM ACHIEVERS

Your difficulty and the difficulty of every individual
who ever desired to achieve anything worthwhile,
comes in the movement.

Don't always be intending to live a new life,
but never find the time to begin living it.
Most people fail because they never get started.
They don't go. They don't overcome inertia.
They don't begin.

Begin to free yourself at once
by doing all that is possible with the means you have.
As you proceed in this spirit the way will open for you to do more.

The worst thing you can do is not to try.

8 "musts" of a great sales presentation

sales tool:
Great sales presentations begin well before the actual presentation is delivered. Preparation is critical and it shows your attendees (prospects and customers) that you value their time (and yours).

To maximize effectiveness, be sure your presentation...

1. focuses on the benefits of your offering as they relate to solving the prospects' specific problems

2. begins with the most important benefits and continues in descending order of importance, including only pertinent benefits

3. has no unnecessary statements (zero fluff -- ask, "does it really matter?")

Make Time Serve You - Max Steingart

2006-03-13T11:15:00.000-08:00

MOTIVATIONAL MOTIVATIONAL - MOTIVATIONALblog.blogspot.com
_____

DON'T SERVE TIME, MAKE TIME SERVE YOU

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to be successful you can start any time.
Your only true failure lies in the failure to start.
The reason why so little is ever done,
is generally because so little is attempted.

The great thing is the start.
To see an opportunity and to pursue it.
Even though in the beginning,
you're not totally sure of all the answers to your questions.

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Don't wait to overcome all your possible objections before you start,
or nothing will ever be attempted.

If you can get up the courage to begin,
you have the courage to succeed.

sales check:
what are the top 3 activities that can hobble a sales day?

sales note:
Top 3 activities that can hobble a sales day...

1. talking with people who cannot move the sales
process along

2. unnecessary research activities

What's too much? There's really no definitive answer--it's particular to your sales world. Most people start to get a gut feel for when they should move on -- the key is to act on it and make the call. You'd be surprised what you can learn by asking a straightforward question of the person who answers the phone or responds to an email.

3. "crafting" or "drafting" a letter, email or fax

Needs to be done but almost never during the money hours--and those who've worked the preparedness checklist should already have completed the basics of most standard written communications needed.

The Reality of Reality - Max Steingart

2006-02-27T08:45:00.000-08:00

MOTIVATIONAL MOTIVATIONAL MOTIVATIONAL
----------------------------------------------------------------

NO AUTHORITY IS HIGHER THAN REALITY

Truth isn't a matter of your personal viewpoint.
Learn to see things as they really are,
not as you imagine they are.

Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who says it.
No matter what you believe, it never changes the facts.
If they are there, the facts always speak for themselves.

The truth does not change because it is, or is not,
believed by a majority of people.
If sixty million people say a foolish thing,
it's still a foolish thing.

The sky is no less blue because the blind man does not see it.

What You Give Away - Max Steingart

2006-02-21T09:29:00.000-08:00

MOTIVATIONAL
---------------

YOU ONLY GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY

It's a universal law: You have to give before you get.
You must plant your seeds before you reap the harvest.
The more you sow, the more you will reap.
In giving to others, you will find yourself blessed.

The law works to give you back more then you have sown.
The giver's harvest is always full.
Those that obtain have little.
Those who scatter have much.

Nature does not give to those who will not spend.

You Cannon Fail With A Plan - Max Steingart

2006-02-16T06:56:00.000-08:00

---------------
MOTIVATIONAL

YOU CANNOT FAIL WITH A PLAN

Wanting success isn't sufficient enough to get it.
You have to ask yourself,
"What am I going to do to get the things I want?"

Your problem is how to bridge the gap which exists
between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

You cannot fail with a definite step-by-step plan,
because each step carries you along to the next step, like a track.
All you need is the plan, the road map,
and the courage to press on to your destination.

You cannot get lost on a straight road.

YOU MUST DREAM BIG AND THINK BIG TO BE BIG

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

High expectation always precedes high achievement.
You're as small as your controlling desires,
or as great as your dominant aspirations.

Once your mind stretches to a new idea
it never goes back to its original dimensions.
Think little goals and you can expect little achievement.
Think big goals and you'll win big success.

The first ingredient of your success is to dream a great dream.

MOTIVATIONAL

PREPARATION IS THE SECRET TO CONFIDENCE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With practice you'll come to a point of competence.
You'll find yourself accomplishing your goals
gracefully and confidently.

It's then that you'll do things that you never dreamed you could do.
You'll discover powers you never knew existed.
If you're prepared, you're able to feel confident.

There can be no great courage
when there is no confidence or assurance.
Half the battle is in the conviction
that you can accomplish what you undertake.

Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere.
It's the result of constant work and dedication.

Personal Growth Is Inevitable - Max Steingart

2006-01-14T19:07:00.000-08:00

MOTIVATIONAL
------------

PERSONAL GROWTH IS INEVITABLE

You'll experience personal growth on the road to success.
All growth means change and change involves risk.
You grow because you struggle, learn and overcome your obstacles.

What happens to you is not as important
as how you react to what happens.
Everything you'll experience "good or bad" has value.

Difficulties in life are the things that show you what you are.
Trouble is the common denominator of living.
It's the great equalizer of life.

Only when you are no longer afraid will you begin to live.

Your Environment - Max Steingart

2006-01-12T07:10:00.000-08:00

MOTIVATIONAL
------------

YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Always be mindful that you're a product of your environment.
So choose an environment that will best develop you
toward your objective.

Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward your success,
or are they holding you back?

The first step toward getting somewhere
is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are.
You're not a captive of your environment.

If you don't like where you are, you can make some changes.
You're not planted permanently in the ground like a tree.
Don't say, "You would, if you could,"
start saying, "You will, because you can."

When you become a part of anything it becomes a part of you.

ACTION IS REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only way to start to improve your life is to start.
Once you're sure you're on the right road
there is no need to plan your journey too far ahead.
Don't burden yourself with doubts and fears
as to the obstacles that may bar your progress.
You can only take one step at a time.

You don't need to know all the answers in advance.
Just maintain a clear idea of the goal you want to reach
and the answers will come in their own time.

If you can get up the courage to begin,
you'll have the courage to succeed.

It's the job you never start that takes the longest to finish.
Go after what you want and you'll get it.

Find The Good Side - Max Steingart

2006-01-08T15:18:00.000-08:00

MOTIVATIONAL
------------

FIND THE GOOD SIDE TO EVERY SITUATION

You cannot have the success without the failures.
Any experience can be transformed into something of value.
Everything depends on the way you look at things.

In all of your adversities lies the seeds of equivalent advantages.
In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you
can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

View your problems as opportunities.
When it's dark enough you can see the stars.

Depend On Miracles - Max Steingart

2006-01-07T09:28:00.000-08:00

DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DEPEND ON THEM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't need an explanation for everything.
There are such things as miracles,
events for which there are no ready explanations.

Future knowledge may explain these events quite simply.
Any form of sufficiently advanced technology
can be quite indistinguishable from magic
when it's introduced for the first time.

Seeing, hearing, feeling are all miracles
as well as each part of you.
Seeing is not always believing.
You know much more than you understand.

Have the vision to see invisible things.

I just checked the stats through statcounter and found something interesting. MSN knows we're here. I realize that very few people would search this specifically, nevertheless, we are 3rd for this search:

how to build an old relationship

My guess is relationship is a big part of our ranking in that search. Another blog of mine, brbIncome.blogspot.com is ranked 1st! You can see for yourself by clicking the link directly below:

Here's some great stuff from Max Steingart!

YOU DETERMINE YOUR ATTITUDE

Your attitude is not determined by circumstances,
but by how you respond to your circumstances.
You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.

It's how you react to events, not the events themselves,
that determines your attitude.

Any challenge facing you
is not as important as your attitude towards it,
for that will determine your success or failure.

To make a big difference - Max Steingart

2005-12-03T18:40:00.000-08:00

Any NBA basketball fan can tell you that an inch or two height advantage can be
the difference between being a first-round draft pick, or someone that is
shuffled to the later rounds.

And... in the world of golf, an inch or less can make the difference between a
'money-in-the-bank' win, or having to settle with a disappointing second, third,

or worse finish.

And... getting the meat off of the barbecue grill at just the right time, can
make all the difference in the world between succulent, moist, mouth-watering
barbecue, or if left on for a few more careless minutes... that tasteless, dried

up, shriveled up stuff that others pass off as barbecue meat.

IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

You Can't Succeed Without A Goal - Max Steingart

Tuesday, September 6, 2005

YOU CAN'T SUCCEED WITHOUT A GOAL

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this:
decide what you want.

A set definite objective must be established
if you're to accomplish anything in a big way.
There is no achievement without a goal.

The world will turn aside to let you pass
if you know where you're going.

Goals give you a starting place and a destination.
You'll be able to determine what it will cost you to get there
and you'll be going someplace.

Determine what you want.
Decide on your major objectives, targets and destination.
You can plant your own dream with a goal.

Successful people have goals.

You Must Make Your Own Opportunities - Max Steingart

YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES

Your destiny isn't a matter of chance,
it's a matter of the choices you make.
It's not something you wait for,
but rather something you pursue.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities.
Seize common occasions and make them great.
Opportunities sometimes come disguised in the form of misfortune,
or temporary defeat.

You can start where you are.
You're at this moment standing in the middle of opportunity.

If you act on your dreams you can live them.

You Are Your Environment - Max Steingart

YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

The first step toward getting somewhere
is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are.
Always be mindful that you are a product of your environment.
So choose an environment that will best develop you
toward your objective.

Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward your success,
or are they holding you back?

You're not a captive of your environment.
If you don't like where you are,
change your environment, you're not a tree.
Don't say, "You would, if you could,"
say, "You will, because you can."

When you become a part of anything, it becomes a part of you.

Concentration Opens The Door - Max Steingart

CONCENTRATION OPENS THE DOOR TO SUCCESS

The first law of success is concentration.
Bend all your energies to one point,
and go directly to that point,
looking neither to the right nor the left.

By focusing your efforts to a single point,
you'll always achieve the greatest results.
If you concentrate your efforts on a few major goals,
your efficiency will soar, your projects will be completed,
and you'll be going somewhere.

Focus totally on the business at hand
and command yourself to do exactly what you want to do.

If you focus the full power of all you are
on what you have a burning desire to achieve,
you'll attain success.

A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder.
Goals are dreams that are written down.
The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention.
Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal.
There is no achievement without goals.

Establish a goal worth working for.
Your goal will keep you going in tough times.

Always have something ahead of you.
Continuously visualize your next step.
Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another.
Momentum is maintained by always having something to look forward to.
Constantly give yourself something to work for.

Do what you can do well,
and do well whatever you can do
and you'll achieve any goal that you set for yourself.

You can plant your dream with a goal.

Great Expectations - Max Steingart

GREAT EXPECTATIONS PRECEDE GREAT SUCCESS

High expectation always precedes high achievement.
You're as small as your controlling desires,
or as great as your dominant aspirations.

Once your mind stretches to a new idea
it never goes back to its original dimensions.
Think little goals and you can expect little achievement.
Think big goals and you'll win big success.

The first ingredient of your success is to dream a great dream.
You must dream big and think big to be big.

DREAMS COME TRUE IF YOU PURSUE THEM

Reality forms around your commitments.
The achievement of your goal is assured

Obstacles don't matter very much.
Pain or other circumstances can be there,
but if you want something bad enough,
you'll find a way to get it.

Plant the seed of desire in your mind
and it will form a nucleus with the power to attract to itself
everything needed for its fulfullment.

You're never given a wish

Fear Is Overcome - Max Steingart

2005-08-19T07:44:00.000-07:00

FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION

One of the greatest surprises you'll experience,
is when you discover that you can do
what you were afraid you couldn't do.

Your obstacles will melt away,
if instead of cowering before them,
you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.

Do the thing you fear and fear disappears.
Confront your fears, list them, get to know them
and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead.

When you face the things that scare you,
you open the door to freedom.

The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself.

COURTESY OPENS ALL DOORS

There is no investment you'll ever make that will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer wherever you are.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
If you treat an individual as if they were what they ought to be and could be,
they will become what they ought to be and could be.

Everyone thrives on being appreciated, loved and needed.
There is no stimulus like that which comes
from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in you.

Applaud others when they run.
Console them when they fail.
And cheer them when they recover.

As water is to a flower,
so is praise to the heart of another.

Desire is the starting point of achievement.
Your desires are the precursors of the things

These desires can in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.
Your intense anticipation itself will transform your possibilities into reality.

Weak desires will bring you weak results,
just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
If you just care enough for any result, you'll almost certainly attain it.

Nothing has more strength than dire necessity.
The achievement of your goal is assured
the moment you commit yourself to it.

Happiness

2005-08-02T09:50:00.000-07:00

HAPPINESS IS A BYPRODUCT OF ACTIVITY

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement,
in the thrill of creative effort.
The human spirit needs to accomplish,
to achieve, to triumph to be happy.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work,
but from the afterglow of satisfaction
that comes after the achievement
of a difficult task that demands your best.

Your personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness.
You cannot pursue happiness by itself.
There is no happiness except in the realization
that you have accomplished something.

Happiness thrives in activity.
It's a running river, not a stagnant pond.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO, OR DO SOMETHING ELSE

When your vocation becomes your vacation,
you'll never work another day in your life.

No one can succeed in any endeavor that they don't like.
If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.

Your chances of success are directly proportional
to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

Do something that you have a deep personal interest in.
Do something you'd enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day
working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.

Don't set compensation as your goal.
Find work you like and the compensation will follow.

Work is not your punishment.
It's your reward, your strength and your pleasure.

Real success is achieved when you like what you do.
Work is love made visible.

Wanting to win - Max Steingart

2005-07-20T05:10:00.000-07:00

WANTING TO WIN IS EVERYTHING

Success is connected with continuous action.
It's largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.

You're not finished when you're defeated,
you're only finished when you quit.
In fact, there's only one way you can fail,
and that's to stop trying.

Continuous effort, persistence and determination
will be necessary for you to succeed.
The odds are in your favor if you keep trying.

You can have a fresh start any time you choose,
for "failure" is not in the falling down, but in the staying down.
It's not over until it's over.

If you've got the courage to stick it out,
you'll attain your goal.
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.

DON'T MAKE YOUR THOUGHTS YOUR PRISONS

You're more important than any of your problems.
What you have outside you counts less than what you have inside you.

Courage gives you the power to face your difficulties.
It comes from the reserves of your mind
that are more powerful than your outside circumstances.

Your obstacles will look large or small to you
according to whether you are large or small.

Courage gives you the capacity to confront what can be imagined.
It gives you the ability to rise above your present reality.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear,
not absence of fear.

When you recognize that you're bigger than your problems,
you'll gain the courage necessary to overcome anything.

Attitude is everything - Max Steingart

2005-07-12T21:23:00.000-07:00

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

You determine your attitude.

You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
Your attitude is not determined by circumstances,
but by how you respond to your circumstances.

Any challenge facing you is not as important
as your attitude towards it,
for that will determine your success or failure.

It's how you react to events, not the events themselves,
that determines your attitude.

There is a good side - Max Steingart

2005-07-12T10:03:00.000-07:00

THERE IS A GOOD SIDE TO EVERY SITUATION

You cannot have the success you seek
without experiencing some failures.
Any experience can be transformed into something of value.
Everything depends on the way you look at things.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you,
can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

In all of your adversities lie the seeds of equivalent advantages.
In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.

View your problems as opportunities.
When it's dark enough you can see the stars.

You Are What You Think - Max Steingart

2005-07-11T12:46:00.000-07:00

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become.
It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish
you must first impress upon your subconscious mind.

Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor,
loved or unloved, happy or unhappy,
attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image.
You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition.
Constant repetition carries conviction.

When you change your values you'll change your behavior.
Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.
Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself.

You can become whatever you want to be.
If you believe you can, you can.

Reality and your commitments - Max Steingart

2005-07-08T21:20:00.000-07:00

REALITY FORMS AROUND YOUR COMMITMENTS

When you care enough for a given result,
you'll almost certainly attain it.
Intense anticipation will transform your possibilities into reality.

Strong desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.
Your desires are the precursors of the things
which you are capable of having and doing.

Weak desires will bring you weak results,
just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
The intensity of your desire governs the power
with which your energies will be directed.

All of your dreams can come true,
if you have the courage to pursue them.

Desire is the starting point for success.

Expect to succeed - Max Steingart

2005-07-07T07:02:00.000-07:00

YOU'LL SUCCEED IF YOU EXPECT TO SUCCEED

When you feel in your innermost being
that you will achieve what you set out to do,
you open the way for miracles.
The dreams you choose to believe in come to be.

Choose to believe something good can happen.
Expecting it to happen energizes your goal
and actually gives it momentum.
What you expect to happen, happens.

Life responds to your outlook.
If you want to succeed beyond your wildest expectations,
begin with some wild expectations.

Success starts with action - Max Steingart

2005-07-06T06:56:00.000-07:00

SUCCESS STARTS WITH A BEGINNING

To reach your goal or to attain success,
you don't need to know all of the answers in advance.
But you do need to have a clear idea of your goal.

Everyone who got where they are
had to begin where they were.
You are surrounded by opportunities.

Don't procrastinate when faced with difficult problems.
Break those problems into parts,
and handle one part at a time.

Develop tendencies toward action.
Break your big plan into small steps
and take the first step right away.
You can make something happen, right now.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
You can begin your journey to success today.

With a vision - Max Steingart

2005-06-29T08:00:00.000-07:00

YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE WITH A VISION

Study your present situation thoroughly.
Go over in your imagination
the various courses of action possible to you.
Visualize the consequences
which can follow from each course.
Pick out the course which gives you the most promise and go ahead.

Many successful people use this skill of mental visualization.
They mentally run through important events before they happen.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as already having achieved your goal.
See yourself doing the things you'll be doing
when you've reached your goal.
You can put your subconscious to work
toward making your mental pictures come true.
Go over your day in your imagination before you begin it.
You can begin acting successfully at any moment.

See the things you want as already yours.
Think of them as yours, as already in your possession.
You can live your dreams if you pursue them.
