‘Doubt Your Limits, Not Your Abilities’

‘Ignore the haters. They will always be there, but you decide whether or not to let them drag you down.’

‘Embrace that you need to be positive to help the people around you thrive. You can choose to be the person who lifts others up, or the person who brings them down.’

‘Find the silver lining. If you can’t see there is potential good in a situation, you can’t make it happen.’

‘If you are going to spend any of your precious energy doubting something, doubt your limits, not your abilities.’

‘Opportunity is all around you, but if you are too busy gawking at obstacles, you’ll be blinded to those opportunities.’

‘It’s amazing how much better everyone else gets when you work on yourself.’

‘Nothing is more powerful than a positive mind.’

‘Opportunity doesn’t come knocking on your schedule. Good things come to those who persist.’

‘Lighten up and get going. If you don’t go the right way immediately, so what? Just dust yourself off, find the humor, and give it another go.’

‘Don’t think about what is possible for the person you used to be last year. Instead, think about what is possible for the person you want to become.’

The Heart Of Your Business

‘All of us in the business world, whether we realize it or not, signed up for a sales job.’

‘You are always selling. Your products. Your ideas. Your whole self.’

‘If you’re truly passionate about what it is you’re selling and can tell a story about why you love your product and your company, you don’t need to avail yourself of any slick tricks you might associate with selling.’

‘The feeling your customer leaves with after that conversation will inform their decision to come back or go somewhere else.’

‘You can’t own a business without owning your mistakes.’

‘Employees don’t really want an environment with no rules; they want to be engaged in a worthy cause and feel proud of what they create.’

Sometimes, no product is better than a substandard one.’

‘How you comport yourself in all your daily interactions with employees, clients, and peers is an act of salesmanship, because the way you act is an advertisement to keep working with you or run the other way, to dive in and invest more time and money in what you’re doing, or to cut losses and bounce.’

‘The healthiest businesses are the ones that operate in a culture of accountability.’

‘Moments of crisis reveal who a person really is.’
