Sales Success Secrets from Beyond the Grave
I have included some very controversial material in this article so I'll start with the easy stuff and finish with the material you may not want to read.

Setting Records and Attaining Lasting Achievement
Randy knew Joe from track & field. He told a story of one track meet. Joe arrived late. As a member of ROTC and the reserves he had parachuted twice that morning and then rushed to the track meet. Once arriving at Pacific Lutheran University in nearby Parkland, he took part in the one hundred yard dash, the 220, anchored the 440, and did everything but give out towels. He took first place in each of seven events. How many people would have just stopped at jumping out of the airplane?

Successful People are Optimists -- They Ask For, and Often Get What They Want
Self confident, optimistic people ask for what they want. They may not always get it, but often they do.

Randy Pausch and his father and son got to ride in the nose cone of the Disney World Monorail -- because he chose optimism and asked. Cathy and I got to see the sold out Inspiring Impressionism exhibit at the Denver Art Museum -- because she chose optimism and asked. Ask for what you want. You'll be surprised at how many times you'll get what you want.

Profitable Non-Profits
Randy Seitz is taking the traditional approaches of 'non-profits' and turning them on their ear - challenging status quo in every aspect of his operations. I'm inspired by Randy's innovative thoughts on turning a non-profit into a self-sustaining entity. This is a fabulous example of defying Gravity for all of us.
