Thought Tweet #366 “Expect the Best and Get It.” Norman Vincent Peale
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
I like the double entendre, despite the likely fact it was unintended. Let's pull out that double entendre by putting it another way -"Get It and Expect the Best." Really, there is much value in Getting It.

Thought Tweet #365

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. You can apply a graduated scale to it. (1) is better than (2) and (2) is better than (3). But, none of those 3 is particularly helpful when you are trying to grow or change a business.

Thought Tweet #364 Success can mean Failure. Failure can mean Success.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
And, Failure can mean Failure. And, Success can mean Success. It all depends on what you believe, what you truly know, and how you use what you truly know. And, of course, Emotions & Egos often have the ability to overrule Common Sense.

Thought Tweet #363

Thought Tweet #363 Control Things & Relate to People…Covey, the elder, said something like that.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
When I say 'the elder' I mean Stephen R. Covey. This fellow has delivered some well-packaged pieces of wisdom. For example, I believe he was the first to teach the 4 time-&-task management quadrants generated by Important, Urgent, Not-Important, and Not-Urgent. Consideration of the Importance of actions and the urgency required for actions is a great starting point for 'Controlling Things'. And, when things are under control, you remove most of the excuses that limit your ability to 'Relate to People'.
