If you don’t like what is going on in your life, then you have got to change your day.

Focus on others, not on yourself. Serve others, not yourself. That is how you are going to change your day.

‘Serving others requires a shift of focus toward the way you work, rather than the outcome of your work. It requires a shift in focus from feeling threatened or ‘under fire’ at work, to feeling challenged and useful.’

You can do it. To change your day, according to Andy Core, ‘Refuse to complain. Instead, infuse your day with expressions of appreciation and gratitude.’

‘Make it a goal to change the atmosphere in your workplace or home to one of relational strength, not stress. Remember to serve, and not shine.’

‘Settle on a set of patterns and attitudes that you believe will gain you the greatest possible fulfillments and satisfaction. And then stick with those patterns and attitudes. Don’t budge from them.’

‘Explore more of the ‘inner you.’ Choose to create an attitude that becomes the atmosphere in which you live and work.’

‘Think about mini-patterns now so you don’t have to think about it later.’

‘Decide where you need to jump in and make a change in your day.’

‘Be honest with yourself and own up to your junk hours.’

‘Take time to reflect on the way your daily behaviors produce attitudes, feelings, and ideas.’

‘Be a DO-KNOW-BE: Lasting motivation is an experiential lesson.’

‘Remember, ‘Nothing in your life gets better until your daily patterns do. But, when your daily patterns get better, everything gets better.’

‘Now is the time to think: service before sales.’

‘When you think yes! you will see the possibilities, not the impossibilities.’

‘Your belief and your belief system are the roof of your sales success, or the bane of your failure.’

‘You’ll know your voice when you hear it. It will speak to you before you ever say a word.’

‘You cannot deny the power of laughter as a universal bond from human to human and from human to sales order form.’

‘Lowest price always means lowest profit. Value trumps price.’

‘Your customer wants to do business with a somebody not a nobody.’

‘Your value-based information, your exceptional service, and your quality of product and person determine your brand, your name, and your fate.’

‘When you let your positive words and actions speak for themselves, your reputation will rise in the process.’

‘When you combine your belief, your attitude, your preparation, your value, and your assertiveness, the outcome is predictable: more sales.’

‘Assertive presentations start with questions, offer unchallengeable proof in the middle, and end with a customer commitment that you have earned.’

‘The more you put value in terms of how they win, how they profit, and how they produce, the more it will be perceived as true value, or real value. And in the end, the value that you receive back will be the order. That’s value.’
