Business Appointment
Success or Failure-by Gloria Whitehorn
One of the quickest ways to
loose a sale is to be late for an appointment. A businessperson’s
character, among other things, may be judged by their punctuality. Some
prospects may see it as a slap in the face if you are late for your meeting
with them. They may view it as a sign you have no regard for your own word,
or their time. And you cannot be depended upon. So why should they do
business with the likes of you?

Increasing Your Earning Potential By: Brian Tracy
Throughout
most of human history, we have been accustomed to evolution, or the gradual
changing and progressing of events in a straight line. Sometimes the
process of change was faster and sometimes it was slower, but it almost
always seemed to be progressive, from one step to the other, allowing you
some opportunities for planning, predicting and changing.

Find Your True Calling: By Brian Tracy In my courses on time management, I point out that the very worst use of time in life is to stay at a job for months and years for which you are completely unsuited. There are a great number of people who spend their whole lives doing something during the week so that they can somehow find something enjoyable to do on the weekends. |

Overcoming Adversity:
By Brian Tracy
Here’s a
question for you: What are you made of? What are you really made of? When
push comes to shove, when the rubber meets the road, when the chips are
down, what lies at the very core of your character? You learn what you’re
really made of only when things go wrong and you are tumbled, end over end,
by some adversity or setback that hits you like a Mack truck coming out of
an alley. Since your behaviors on the outside are the real indicators of
who you are on the inside, only by observing how you behave when things go
wrong can you tell what you really have inside you.

The Art of Self-Promotion: By Brian Tracy
The
starting point of self-promotion is to set a goal and make a plan to become
one of the very best people in your field. The better you get and the more
respected you become, the more you will have in common with other people
who also are farther along on the road of life. You must ask for advice and
follow it. You must make every effort to overcome the obstacles within
yourself that might be holding you back. You must develop the essential
skills that you need to join the top 20 percent in your field.

Leaders Are Made, Not Born: By Brian Tracy
Your
ability to negotiate, communicate, influence, and persuade others to do
things is absolutely indispensable to everything you accomplish in life.
The most effective men and women in every area are those who can quite competently
organize the cooperation and assistance of other people toward the
accomplishment of important goals and objectives.

Get Smart: By Brian Tracy
Creativity
is your key to the future. All progress comes about as the result of
finding better, faster, cheaper, easier or different ways to do things and
this requires the continual honing of your creative thinking skills. One of
the key functions of the executive is problem-solving, which takes up as
much as 50% of executive time. It can be said with some confidence that
your ability to deal with problems creatively and effectively is the key
determinant of your success as a manager.

Practical Project Management: By Brian Tracy
Some
skills are peripheral to success. It’s nice to have them, but they don’t
make much of a difference one way or another. There are other skills,
however, that are absolutely essential to your fulfilling your potential,
and you must develop them to a fairly high degree if you are to achieve all
of your goals.

Taking Smart Risks: By Brian Tracy
All of
life is a risk of some kind. Whenever you engage in any action where the
outcome is uncertain, for any reason, you are taking a risk. You take a
small risk when you drive to work or walk across the street. You take a
larger risk when you start a business or invest a sum of money. You take a
risk whenever you venture into the unknown, where your possibilities and
probabilities cannot be determined to an exact degree. From the time you
get up in the morning until you go to bed at night, and even when you are
sleeping, you are facing risk to some degree.

Continuous Learning:By Brian Tracy
Throughout the developed world, we
have moved from an era of manpower to an era of mind power. We have moved
from the use of physical muscles to the use of mental muscles. Today the
chief sources of value in our society are knowledge and the ability to apply
that knowledge in a timely fashion. In the information age, knowledge is
king, and those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new
and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to
their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the
indefinite future.

The Virtual Project Team: By Brian Tracy
When I
began studying time management some years ago, I was amazed to discover that
all great accomplishments are the result of “multi-task jobs.” Everything
worthwhile is achieved by a variety of people coming together to perform a
variety of jobs, all of which are coordinated and sequenced together to
achieve a final result. Today, this model of the virtual corporation or the
virtual team is becoming the key to success in both individual and business
life.

Think Like a
Millionaire-by Brian Tracy
The
most important attitude for financial success is long-term thinking.
Successful people think a long way into the future and they adjust their
daily behaviors to assure they achieve their long-term goals. In a
longitudinal study done at Harvard University in the 50s and 60s, they
studied the reasons for upward socio-economic mobility. They were looking
for factors that would predict whether or not an individual or family was
going to move upward and be wealthier in the future than in the present.

Be Prepared to Ask-by Brian Tracy
If you
make a perfect presentation, one that clearly explains the benefits and
resolves all the doubts that a qualified prospect might have, the sale will
often close all by itself, like a ripe apple dropping out of a tree into
your hand. You will conclude your presentation, check to be sure that the
prospect has fully understood the benefits and value to him of the offer
and the prospect will say something like, "It sounds good to me, how
do I get it?
