Achieve More as a Warrior; How to Take Your Sales Career Further

By Jack Perry
 

A warrior is a person who chooses to operate on a higher level than most others. They are heroic, valiant, and often working for a specific cause. Some of our warriors are the athletes who lead their teams to championship victories, the doctors who spend hours in surgery working to save a life, a fireman running through a blazing fire to save people, sales professionals who blow through their goals, and focused volunteers who raise money for charities. They possess qualities that other people admire , respect, and strive to imitate.

Achieve Greater Success by Eliminating Trash Talk

By Jack Perry

Sadly, trash talk is an inevitable part of life for far too many people. Especially in business, some people always seem to have something negative to say about their competition, their co-workers, or their clients.

The Myths of Time Management

By Jack Perry

Every day people seem to run out of time. You’ve heard all of the clichés – “Time flies,” “Where did the time go?” and “There just aren’t enough hours in the day.” The fact is that we all have the same twenty-four hours in a day. The only difference is what we choose to do with our time.

What Does Success Mean to You? Achieve Greater Satisfaction by Setting Your Own Standards

By Jack Perry

Success means living your life according to your priorities. Therefore, success can mean different things to different people. Success to one person might mean working in a job that allows them plenty of free time to spend with family. And success to another person might mean working in a job that needs constant attention and oversight. So while the first person might be satisfied with a part-time position, the second person will more likely be happier in a job with more responsibility and higher demands, such as owning a business. But in either case, success is defined by what the individual wants in life.

The Rewards of Being a Self-Starter, not a Self-Stopper

By Jack Perry

“Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.” – Og Mandino

They’re swashbucklers, explorers, and pioneers, not couch potatoes. They launch the offense, brave the onslaught, and get things done. They don’t run an idea up the flagpole, take a few meetings, and hope someone else makes it happen.

They’re self-starters. Are you one? Or are you a self-stopper?

Preserve Your Priorities by Knowing How to Say No

By Jack Perry

Have you ever felt as if you were being pulled in a million different directions, with so many commitments that you’d never find enough time to accomplish them all?

This can quickly wear you out. If you find yourself in this situation, you really have no one to blame but yourself and your inability to simply say “no.”
