| “The wise man bridges the gap by laying out the path by means of which he can get from where he is to where he wants to go,” Morgan once said.

A man devoted to his business, Morgan would do whatever it took to close a deal, no matter whose head he had to go over. With a clear vision in mind, Morgan took control over his situations, directing them towards the ends he desired. |

Sell Em What They Want
| |
| I had an interesting conversation with a colleague the other day. We were discussing the fact that, try as we might, our prospects don't always know that they need what we have to offer.

Without hesitation Dr. Meninger said, "I would find somebody with a bigger problem and get involved with helping him solve his problem; in the process I would forget about my own." |

| |
| For most of us, financial stability weighs heavily on our minds and often keeps us up at night. At one point or another, we all suffer the pain and frustration of being an employee; of being at the beck and call of our “superior,” someone who dictates the majority of our waking hours… and we let them! Don’t feel guilty or embarrassed about this; just accept it for what it is – an example of how not to live your life – and prepare yourself for the day when you call your own shots. |

Making the most of Up Selling & Cross Selling
| |
| Do you sell one thing and one thing only? Probably not. I suspect your business has a range of things it can offer. And I suspect that many of these things can be integrated together to make an end-to-end solution or various combinations that lead to much larger sales.
If this is the case, then how well are you selling in the size and scope of your business offerings?
Too many times sales people get fixated on the immediate sale in front of them not really seeing the potential of that sale now or into the future. If they would only ask the right questions and get a bigger perspective to work from they might get more and bigger sales for less effort. |

Neither can you put on credit or layaway. Your willingness to pay the price gives you the power to make your dreams come true.

Online Business Owners Embrace Being Uncomfortable
| |
| This past weekend, my 5-year-old granddaughter, come down the stairs. She had her cute little blue ruffled swimsuit on, and a beach towel in her hand.Granted we live in California and it was a sunny day but it still was too cold, in my mind to go swimming. “Wotcha doing?” I asked, as if I didn’t know. “I’m going swimming,” she answers, and out she went. I followed behind. I was sure she would decide it was just to cold to get in. But no, she jumped in without a second’s hesitation with both feet. In just a few seconds she jumped out, wrapped herself in the towel and warmed up. As soon as she was a little warm, back into the pool she went. Successful online business owners embrace being uncomfortable. |
