I know, it is supposed to be walk the talk.
But, we can deceive ourselves and others by saying one thing -- something that sounds so wonderful -- yet not actually doing it.
However, when it comes to walking the thought, well that is absolutely what we do each day, whether we believe it or not, like it or not.
Whatever we believe about ourselves manifests before us. Whatever stories we tell ourselves show themselves in our lives. Whatever thoughts dominate our minds display themselves in our daily walk.
If you desire to change your walk, don't start with your talk. Instead, begin with your thoughts.

The thing about thoughts
Are you afraid of being wrong?
Is it ever your fault, or can you find other reasons?
Can you take on a viewpoint different than your own, even if only for a little while?
Can you see the other side's point of view? Have you ever tried to understand it?
Do you ever second guess your decisions?
Are decisions difficult to make for you? Easier to let someone else make them?
Have you ever thought that making no decision is really a decision?
Are you waiting for things to get better before you do?
How easy is it for you to quit?
What does "playing it safe" mean to you?
What are the stories you tell yourself to help you make it through the day?
You see, the thing about thoughts is that they impact us far greater than we realize. The real value in this exercise is not to analyze the answers you provided to the questions, but rather to analyze the feelings and emotions that were stirred by reading the questions.
If your feelings contradicted your answers, well, that is the realm where thoughts truly are things. And that is where the real change must occur.

How to increase sales
Tell me what you want, and I can show you how to get it.
Last week I spent two days with two different clients helping them understand how to get more of what they want -- increased sales.
Both four-hour training sessions with each client delved into areas unfamiliar to them, yet guaranteed to help them increase their sales -- increasing more conversions to lead to more revenue. The tools I provided them are the same ones I used over the years to close 70%, 80%, and even 90% of sales.
You see, most people are looking in the wrong direction in order to increase sales. They want the right words to say, the newest "closing" techniques, or the latest tricks. Yet, any increase in sales related to those are temporary at best, and unsustainable.
In order to increase sales -- sustainable, long-term increase that can occur immediately -- companies have to look in a different direction.
If you want that kind of increase, you have to ask the right questions, and be laser-focused on the right target to facilitate the kind of change that can lead to true sales increases.
Shoot me an email if you are interested in the same training. I have a few openings in July but expect them to go fast.

I failed.
If we can keep those two concepts separate then we have the potential to keep moving forward, learn from our experience, and achieve greater heights than we ever imagined.
Remember, it's the little voices inside our own head that matter most.
