Here is a quote I like and that I like to try to live: "An idealist thinks the short run doesn't count. A cynic thinks the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short term determines the long term." Sydney Harris Remembering that every thing you do has a direct effect on your future is the best way to insure that future. Keep Smiling, Keep Selling! Thanks Jim Busch

Weekly Quote

Like many other professional trainers, I like to be in front of a crowd. Someday I'd love to do a training class based on the opening scene from one of my favorite movies--Patton. I want the giant flag behind me, the polished helmet and the swagger stick while I give a powerful motivational speech. Somehow I don't think this will happen but I can dream. Patton was almost as good with words as he was at winning battles. I've read his journals and other writings and found him to be more of a thinker than he most people think. Here's one of his quotes that I like:

"Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory"
General George S. Patton

Iif you've ever closed a tough sale or overcome a significant obstacles to hit your budget, you know what General George was talking about.

Keep Smiling, Keep Selling!
