Lesson #4: Keep Your Company in a Constant State of War
“Sports is natural, instinctive, competitive, and, in the end, rewarding,” says Knight. “All of us at Nike get to earn a living in that world – a world that is easy to believe in.” Much like the competitions in which Nike shoes increasingly found themselves being worn, so too did Knight take his company to the top with his instinctive sense of competition. By tapping into his entrepreneurial DNA and constantly maintaining a sense of combat against his competitors, Knight was able to succeed where few others had.

Sales and Up-Selling is No Joke
Everyday in addition to the basic spam of email, friends send me jokes. Some are funny, some are not. Those that are truly funny have a nugget of wisdom or enlightenment within. Here's a story that I like and it not only makes sense, but delivers a common sense sales message that we can all learn from. And, that's no laughing matter.

Putting the Success Books On The Couch: Notes from Dr. Kevin Fleming
The self-help industry and success books are a huge bestseller to the American public. Many of the points of the success gurus certainly "make sense". But are all things that make sense TRUE? Read on for this key distinction....
Lesson #5: Curiosity Never Killed the Cat
“Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future,” Luce believed. “It is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight.”

You Should Also Do It.
I could go on all day, but the fact is we see Joint Ventures all the time with large business. It’s been going on for centuries. Why? Because it makes a lot of sense. It makes EVEN MORE sense when small businesses do it, especially when they do it with no money and no risk!
Managing Stress
Simply put, stress occurs when a person is not able to cope with the demands placed upon them. It’s an instinctive reaction to ‘fight or flight’. These days we’re no longer fleeing from sabre-toothed tigers or hunting woolly mammoths but the physical response is the same when we’re put in a stressful situation. The hormones released and physical changes prepare our bodies to deal with the situation but those now tend to be traffic jams, deadlines, confrontation, relationships and life changes.
A Spectacular Sales Example of Something REALLY Stupid
Don't think your customers get excited about the unexcitable. Promotions are important to selling. Absolutely. But they have to be promotions that actually MEAN something to your customer. A promotion has to create a sense of urgency, a sense of excitement, momentum - a "Ooooooooooh - I'd LOVE that!" kind of feeling.

The State of the Union, Common Sense and Success
Successful people embrace and use their common sense. They apply four key common success principles: 1) clarity of purpose and direction; 2) a sincere commitment to taking personal responsibility for your life and career; 3) unshakeable self confidence; and 4) competence in several key skills. In the State of the Union address, President Obama called common sense a novel concept. It may be. However, if you are serious about creating the successful life and career you want and deserve, you will embrace your common sense. You'll apply your inner knowing of what to do to when it comes to succeeding in this life and in your career.
Common Sense and Success
We are all born with five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. These senses help us navigate our way through the world. They bring us delight in small things. They also warn us when danger threatens. However, I believe that we all have a sixth, and underused sense, our common sense. Your common sense helps you make the right decision in ambiguous situations -- but only if you use it. When I tell people that I'm the Common Sense Guy, people often come back with Will Rogers' saying, "Common sense isn't all that common." I disagree. I think that we all have innate common sense. It's a natural gift, just like our five other senses. We don't always use it though. If you are willing to let your common sense guide you today, you can use it as a guide tomorrow, the next day, next week and next month.
Out-of-Work Architects Turn to Stalled Projects
There is a mismatch between stalled projects that make some economic sense and the billions of real estate investment dollars on the sidelines. There just seemed to be a lot of stories about how projects that seemed like they made a lot of economic sense just couldn’t get financing.
