Never Just Sit There or Stand There When It Comes To Your Marketing Efforts
Will Rogers said, “Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there." This quote really reinforces the message I am sending in the article. The beginning of a new business year is a great time to look at your marketing efforts and develop an honest assessment of what has worked well and what is not working. And if you have just completed a very successful year or let’s say a record-breaking year, Congratulations! But, please reread Will Roger’s quote to remind yourself that in spite of your success in the past, you cannot just sit there or stand there and be complacent for the year ahead. And by the way – if you did not have a good year last year, the same advice applies. Your strategic thinking business coach suggests 8 actions to avoid just sitting or standing there with your marketing efforts.

Steve Jobs Cancer
When the billionaire entrepreneur and Apple founder was 17 years old, he recalls reading a quote that continues to make a lasting impression on him to this day: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It was a quote that would come in handy when Steve Jobs’ cancer was diagnosed in 2004.

May I Quote You?
As an author, the question, “May I quote you?” is a humbling request and a great compliment. For anyone who is in search of excellence a good quote is fuel for our journey. It’s amazing how a short, simple quotation can quickly provide perspective, inspiration, comfort, motivation or insight. What a wonderful return for our invested time - take 10 seconds each morning to read a new quote and our day, maybe even our world, is changed. I wanted to share a few of my favorites which can also be found in the new coffee table gift book, The Nature of Excellence… “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” - Babe Ruth

The Importance of Mental Conditioning to our Success
"The world meets nobody halfway , if you want it you gotta take it."This memorable quote from a Sylvester Stallone movie is still etched in my memory bank. What is the meaning behind this quote? It simply means that if we want to succeed in anything in this world we need to do the things that make the difference to whether we succeed or not because there are no in-between measures for the winners. The biggest obstacle we face in reaching our goals is ourselves.
Want To Succeed In Legitimate Internet Home Based Business Opportunities? You Need Leadership
I would like to first start off with a quote by Warren Bennis, “Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.” That quote sums it up. It is a beautiful quote because of its simplicity, and its truth.
First Call --- Last Look
A former colleague of mind was fond of quoting what he considered "less competent" sales people who claim--- "My customers don't give last looks." His response; "Well, that just means someone else is getting it - Batman!" I really love that quote. Unfortunately it doesn't go far enough. The real question is what do you do when you get last look? Do you automatically match the low price? Unfortunately, that is the first response of most sales people. In fact, it is often the first response of many managers. The real test is how you maintain the business at a price that is profitable, acceptable and meets your margin objectives. Can you sell the customer at a higher price when he has a lower priced quote staring him in the face?

Realize Your Goals
My all time favourite quote is "You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true" Richard Bach. Every time I remember it I feel incredibly empowered and excited. It means that anything my imagination conjures up can happen. The other day I rented a DVD called 'Man on Wire' and it shows beautifully how true that quote is.
