Prospects, Clients, Friends, & Family

Watch.

Watch what happens when you treat your prospects like you treat your clients.

Watch what happens when you treat your clients like you treat your friends.

Watch what happens when you treat your friends like you treat your family.

What you are watching is the human experience, and the art of being fully human just may be the most powerful ingredient in your relationship, product, service, or idea success formula.

Don’t overlook and miss this sacred waltz. It just may be the reward we’re all after.

The Doers

What do Mozart, Picasso, Magnus Carlsen, Michael Phelps, and Roger Federer all have in common?

Either by natural talent or developed skill, these guys are doers.

They romance their instruments. They take on the blank canvas. They play the game. They jump in the pool. They show up at The All England Club.

Don’t stand still. Don’t wait for the green light. Don’t ask for permission. Don’t give up.

Let the music play. Throw some paint. Deliver checkmate. Make a splash. Take the court.

Lights. Camera.

Who am I?

What am I here to do?

When is my deadline to do it?

Where will I go to do it?

How should I do it?

Why should I do it?

There are no books, sermons, pep talks, fortune cookies, or people who can answer these questions for you.

Only you can.

That’s the beauty of it.

That’s how crucial and significant you are in the story that is unfolding.

This thing can’t happen without you.

The movie has been cast and you are the lead role.

Action.

Leadership

Team Building & The Thought Process Behind It

If you’re a baseball team, you don’t buy the player you buy his runs.

If you’re a sales team, you don’t bring on order takers, you select service oriented hearts with connectivity.

If you’re a technology development team, you don’t recruit engineers, you find minds willing to build the future.

Now as their leader, now that you have your team –  it is your role to plant them in rich soil and keep them well watered with dreams, hope, and goals.

Every industry has its metaphorical version of the Yankees, but thinking and seeing your team this way will win you nearly every best of 7 series.

Play ball.
