Thought Tweet #365 Sometimes people do a lot of going through the motions just to keep the status quo.
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Business people go through the motions: (1) when they are just accepting their work/workplace, (2) when they are tolerating their work/workplace, and (3) when they are not enjoying their work/workplace.
