Hi Larry,

I loved your list.

I definitely agree that if you notice you are getting negative when looking at the TV/News, turn it off. On the other hand, some of us may need that source of information, especially if we are in services or have products affected by the news. I think the key is to look at the news for the opportunities available, for understanding that can be gained, etc. The idea is to have the news serve us, not turn us into a bundle of negativity and worry.

Additionally, I think the tips about having an accountability partner, having a mentor, and having a board of advisers or a Power of 6 are very essential in reaching big goals.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Larry,
I can’t wait to share this with my team! I believe one of the setbacks for people in sales during this rough time in the econonmy is to look at what they’re selling and discover how it best meets people’s needs. How is what I have to offer going to help THEM? It’s true, the world needs to consume less. There is no argument there, so while I figure out how to inspire a sales force, I think everyone needs to remember that gift giving over the holidays is going to happen, and we can help people care for the planet by NOT driving around to different stores…that we can be a one-stop shop for our customers and that we have a gift for everyone on their holiday list…that we can truly serve them, and most importantly, that we can offer affordable gifts during a rough economy. Also, people want to make a difference and they’re not sure how. Our gifts give back because the ingredients are from our community/fair trade suppliers and our company is about protecting out planet with every business decision. So the giving is green and people want to make better choices these days, period. It’s all how you look at it and changing your thinking about it is number 1 on your list and number 1 on mine and hopefully my team too! Thank you! Jill

I just spend close to 5,000 on a business advisor who got me no where.
I want to be able to find the right mentor who can help me launch my project that is ready to go. However, I puzzled how to find this person who I know would change everything.
Got any suggestions…

“Don’t read the news, and turn off the TV” should be #1! This mind pollution can knock you down and play with our heads until we really start believing the end is near. We really HAVE had it worse, and not very long ago… see the stats from the early ’80’s in my article, “What Sales People Need in a Down Economy”, at http://www.paul-johnson.com/troublebreaker/2008/02/what-sales-peop.html.

Larry,

Great post as usual. And it’s one that is dearly needed in today’s time. Thanks again for the post and for what you’re doing. I’m still mesmerized from your interview with Alejandro. Keep it up, good sir… can’t wait to see and hear more from you.
