Stop selling. Start helping.

The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for.

I’m so optimistic, I’d go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tartar sauce with me.

Profitability comes from loyalty, productivity, and having a character base from which to work.

Selling is something we do for our clients – not to our clients.

The young athlete who aspires to greatness, generally speaking, learns a number of things from several different coaches. The first one taught him the fundamentals; the second one instilled discipline in him and taught him more of the techniques that must be mastered to excel.

Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.

And if it can’t be fun, what’s the point?
