Do You Walk the Talk?

Ten years ago, after walking across HOT COALS for the first time in my life, I created a postcard using my Firewalking photo. It said “some people talk the talk but I walk the walk!”

Enjoy this video clip from Simple Truths and make this a successful day!

Time for the year-end rush!

A lot of sales reps and managers are calling me now. They want to finish the year strong, share a compelling message with their clients and get everyone focused for the final 12 business weeks of 2009. That momentum will carry into 2010 - which is shaping up to be a better year. Finally!

Budgets need to be used soon or left on the table, which is another reason they are calling. “I’ve got to Use it or lose it!”

There are plenty of opportunities for more referrals and business. Stay focused, busy and work like a winner right now! I have some dates available for speaking engagements - but the calendar is filling quickly!

Finally - some good news!

What a year this has been for many of my friends and peers. I actually know more people who are unemployed than the number of those who are working. Those who are not working had fantastic careers and were superstars in sales and leadership. This whole financial mess hurt a lot of people, stalled careers and challenged confidence and self-esteem

But finally, in the past week, I’ve heard from a handful of buddies who were just hired back into the roles they previously held. Ahhhh, there is hope! I sense a a change in the air.

We become what we think about most!

I’m listening to the great Earl Nightingale again and getting more energized for the last 4 months of 2009. His recording, The Strangest Secret was released in 1956 and continues to be a hit today. It’s even on YouTube! Earl would have loved seeing that, I’m sure!

His main message is that we are the power behind our success or failure, depending on the thoughts we fill our mind with. I thought about this during a recent business trip while enjoying a first class flight and beverage on Northwest airlines. Here we are on this beautiful and spacious 757, which has enormous power - and yet it’s all controlled by the main pilot. He has his flight plan, hands on the controls and can make this plane go as far as he wants, in any direction. Our MIND is very much the same. Our thoughts are OUR fuel and we are the pilot that determines our own flight plan. We may deviate from it slightly, but we are responsible for where we go and at what speed and attitude/altitude!
