Updated: The Age/Entrepreneurship Myth
I pretty much entirely disagree with Fred Wilson's implication earlier this week that age is an obstacle to entrepreneurship. It may be an obstacle to a particular kind of entrepreneurship -- venture-backed companies where you give up equity to parental figures with money -- but implying anything broader than that is silly and counter to the facts.
Beware! Your True Intentions are Showing
Filled with passion about their product or service, many sellers unwittingly create insurmountable obstacles that actually derail their sales efforts or delay them indefinitely. Whether you want to or not, you always communicate your intent. Prospective buyers sense it instantaneously and react accordingly. If they feel you have their best interests in mind, they're attracted to you.
The Power of Partnership
Ever notice how many people who have weathered insurmountable odds have a spouse, buddy, family member or business partner at their side? Is this a coincidence? Not at all!

There is no selling without obstacles.

Who hasn’t experienced difficulties that seemed insurmountable? When circumstances interrupt one’s comfort zone of living, they can cause multiple transitions, which may feel like you’re being pushed into a corner where there seems to be no way out. The corner looks dreary, hopeless, and dark with no solutions to problems taking over your life. Maybe you tried everything you could think of and still found no resolution.

Becoming an “Inner Winner” in Your Sales Career
Traditional sales training techniques ignore the biggest obstacle to sales success: Not recognizing and taking control of the Internal Critic that lingers within every sales person, and every athlete. The internal critic is basically a habitual pattern of negative thoughts that people allow to continue unabated until they recognize that they are engaging in such thinking. Using techniques that professional Sport Psychologists use to help elite athletes overcome their obstacle to success works the same wonders on sales people.
Against All Odds
The paths to our goals and dreams are inevitably filled with challenges and obstacles which at times seem overwhelming, even insurmountable. It is important to always remember that success is ultimately achievable despite the odds.
