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.

Turn Profits from a Drizzle to a Downpour: Find a Rainmaker

by Jack Perry

Human beings can live a long time without many things, including food, but they can’t live long without water. It’s the same in business. You can have the best procedures, the best-looking product, and the greatest ad campaigns, but until the rain comes down—the deep-pocketed new clients or the major accounts—you could find yourself in a long drought that can eventually dry you up and blow you away.

Working  as a sales professional often demands long hours on the road and many days away from home. Frequently, the time away can put a strain on your marriage and family. 

Join the Passion Parade: How Passion Can Win You More Business

By Jack Perry

Passion is a fever, a desire, a powerful emotion within you. When you have passion, you have a spark in your eye, excitement in your voice, and a glow to your being. When a person has passion, you can see it and feel it. It fills up the whole room, and it impacts you. Actors with passion have the ability to draw you into their performance and make you empathize with their characters. Teachers with passion inspire their students to enjoy learning. Coaches with passion drive athletes to top performance. A sales person with a passion for their service/product compels you to accept their solutions.

Achieve Greater Success with an Ownership Mindset

By Jack Perry

Most people want advanced opportunities in life, but they get stuck among the masses of employees and can’t see how to achieve more. But to have opportunity, growth, and abundance you must always think and act as if you are the owner of your company.

Do you have to be the actual legal owner in your business, with your name on the front door?   Absolutely not. Even if you are just an employee, an owner’s mindset can take you further in your career. You can be the owner of the business in your own mind. 

Position Yourself for Greater Success

By Jack Perry

In the minds of most people, everyone is just a standard commodity. However, if you choose, by design ,  you can position yourself  as much more than a common ordinary commodity….as a unique individual, as a special professional. Positioning sets you apart from everyone else and brings your unique qualities to the forefront.

Sharpen Your Focus and Increase Your Success

By Jack Perry

When you see someone running ninety miles an hour in a million different directions, at first you might think, “Wow, he’s working hard,” or, “She really has it together.” But if you take time to consider this person’s habits, you’ll find that he or she actually lacks focus. If you don’t have a focus, your view is blurred, your work is messy, and you limit your success. 

What Your “Dash” Really Means

By Jack Perry

When you read a tombstone, you see a name, a birth date, and a death date. What’s in between the dates? A dash. That little horizontal black line between your beginning and your end represents what happened between the dates—the sum total of your good decisions, your bad decisions, your successes, your failures, and all the events in a word, a phrase, or a statement. What your dash says is a choice only you make in your life. The good news is that you still have time to create the meaning of your dash.
