3 abilities rise above all others: intelligence, willpower, & drive

The Thinking Behind The Tweet 

Every human being possesses the seeds of intelligence, willpower, and drive at birth. To a certain degree, and the degree varies from person to person, we develop these three abilities over time. The amount of intelligence and willpower we develop determines the extent we are able to express our strengths. Drive is all about putting energy to productive use...drive is innate...intelligence and willpower protect drive from negative influences [...both intrinsic and extrinsic negative influences].

 

An ideal way to help people: show them how to 'disentangle' the energy and power they, naturally, possess.

Energy & Natural Talent: 2 things we all possess.

But,  we rarely experience people helping us put those 2 things to best use.

Be the exception...help people disentangle the energy wrapped around their Talents.

 

If you want to influence then Learn to Listen.

The Thinking Behind the Tweet

LinkedIn is a valuable tool. We can use it to discover what other people think about topics.

I asked some of my LinkedIn friends the Question: What does it take to succeed at sales?

And, the most-repeated piece of advice was - Listen Better.

If you do not know your limitations then your willpower won't.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

"A man's got to know his limitations." Clint Eastwood said that when he played Dirty Harry in 'Magnum Force', (1973).

If you know yourself  and you know your limitations then you have a fighting chance to know when you will need willpower. If you do not know your limitations then your willpower won't.

Seek Simple advice: 2 types of people succeed in business: (1) those who 'get it' and (2) those who observe & learn.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

There are only 2 types of people who experience meaningful success in business:

1.     Those few, who somehow naturally 'get it' and seek their way until they obtain success. 

2.     Those few who observe and attend to those who are willing to try to help them 'get it', emulate heroes, embrace heroes' ideas, and sooner or later 'get it' themselves. 

In business, no other types of people achieve meaningful success.

I used to give people pieces of my mind. Now, I know I cannot afford such giveaways.

Even if I could afford to waste my brain, it's much more fulfilling to cut people up to size.
