Weekly Quote

"Develop the hunter's attitude, the outlook that wherever you go, there are ideas waiting to be discovered." Roger Von Oech

This is a quote from one of the best books ever written on creativity and one of my favorite reads. Roger Von Oech's "A whack on the side of the head." This quote makes me think of going into the woods with my grandfather as a child. As a lifelong woodsman and hunter grandpap would see many, many things that I would overlook. He saw them because he knew the woods have many things to offer him. Psychologists call this the "broaden and build effect." People who expect to encounter good things in their lives keep their eyes open and see opportunities that more negative people will miss. Keep the "hunter's attitude" and you will be much more successful.

Keep Smiling, Keep Selling!

Thanks
