Do Something!



Years ago before he became famous, Tom Peters, was just getting started and was beginning to do seminars.  I attended on of these early seminars at the Sunburst Hotel in Scottsdale Arizona.  My sales partner and I both attended and we very impressed with Tom and what he told us.  He offered many valuable tips when it came to selling .
My partner was a veteran and I was a fairly new member of the team.  I took those tips and incorporated them into my personality and sales repertoire.  My sales performance shot off the charts.  Ed however decided to reinvent himself into Tom Peters and failed miserably.  He was a good salesman as Ed but not so good as Tom Peters.
I took some small steps and, as I did, momentum began to come my way.  I did not worry about a long term goal at that time.  I just needed to do something to kick start me past the starting point and get me on the road.  Little goals add up.  Often the final goal seems so unobtainable, we don't even give it a decent shot.
So my advice today is to START.  Do something!  No matter how insignificant it seems or no matter where you are in your circumstances.  Take the first step.
Grow where you are planted because it is highly unlikely that you are going to be transplanted and thrive elsewhere.

Fearlessly yours,
Dan
