30 IS NOT THE NEW 20, CLAIM YOUR ADULTHOOD, FIND YOUR Identity Capital,  USE YOUR WEAK TIES, PICK YOUR FAMILY AND DON’T BE DEFINED BUT WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW OR DIDN’T DO …. YOUR DECIDING YOUR LIFE NOW!

Invest in yourself today…..

 

My daughter sent me this great video from upworthy this morning.   The video is a 3 minute montage of the juxtaposition of what would you love to do vs. what does society do to condition our children to think they have to do? It made me reflect on what type of parent, mentor, coach and counselor I am.  Do I really counsel clients to follow their heart or am I pushing them to maximize their income?   Is one or the other necessarily bad in the world we live in?  Very interesting thought provoking questions.  Take a look.

None of us buy products. We all buy products of the product—which are called benefits or need solutions. In short, we don’t buy what the product is; we buy what the product does for us.  Everyone is a buyer and they come to us that way.  They all have a problem that needs to be solved.   So often we as sales people, especially, the ones starting out, just jump into an explanation of the product.   WRONG APPROACH!  IT STILL BOILS DOWN TO GOOD OLDE-FASHION RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT.   Once the relationship is developed people will let you solve their problems or meet their needs.  Then the hard work comes, just allow them to buy.  Do you know how to teach relationship development?  If you don’t get some help there are tons of experts that get it like Zig Ziglar.  We want you to get it too!

Have you ever desired to go out of your job in a big way?  Given the creativity of the millennial generation, you tube’s finest is now the way to commit.   So get your best clothes on and get some cool Kanye music and make it happen.

What do you think about this as a way to quit?

Today millennials need to be more focused on every aspect of their life than ever.  On this day when the Federal Government is shutdown, we need to really make sure that we are completely balanced so we can have the strength to get to the next level.  It’s tougher and harder than ever before so we need to use all the tools available.  The tool I am personally focused on today is my toughest challenge – nutrition.  Seek tools and tips to get you in the right nutritional place.  Your Mom always told you to have a solid breakfast.  And guess what, she wasn’t lying.
