One of the most important things I learned early on in my sales career is that attitudes are contagious. My manager told me that when I’m on the phone with a prospect or customer, someone was going to sell someone—either the customer was going to sell me on why he wouldn’t buy, or I was going to sell him on why he should buy. And most of that came down to my attitude.

My MacBook Pro is running Monterey version 12.6 and it has been charging to only 80%.

If you aren't aware of the crime taking place in most of America's big cities, you have either been living in a cave or experiencing willful ignorance. Most of the criminals are repeat offenders and those who are captured and arrested are usually back on the street committing additional crimes later that day due to cashless bail. If you think about it, and you don't have to think very long or hard, cashless bail mirrors how companies deal with under-performing salespeople.

Back in the 90's, after years of Chiropractic, I learned to crack my own back and neck. You never know when you will need to relieve stiffness and/or pain. Actually you do know.

Before I purchased my first Jaguar, my dream car was the Infinity Q45. In the early 90's, I couldn't wait to get that car and when winter came, I couldn't wait to get rid of it.

Since I had to drive up a steep, mile-long hill to get home at the end of the day, and the hill wasn't well salted or sanded because it ran alongside a lake.
