What Makes A Successful Person Successful? And Can You Be One of Them?
Have you ever considered what it is that makes successful people successful? Is there such a thing as a 'success gene'? Or are some folks just lucky? Actually, if you've spent any time around successful and/or unsuccessful people you'll come to realise it's none of the above.

What’s the buyer’s responsibility?
I was going to call one of my books “I’d close more sales if it weren’t for the buyer” thinking that people would laugh at the silliness.

It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."

Job and Success Re-defined
I have been astonished, since 1997 when I started interviewing people before my presentations, by how some professionals, leaders and business owners have redefined what we call jobs and work-related success. These people have factored a critical element in their jobs or success in what they do-they understand how, at the end of the day, another individual's life is made better by their involvement.

The 3 R's of Business Leadership
Are you a leader? If you're the owner of a business, by default the buck stops with you. But that doesn't necessarily mean you're functioning as a leader. When you don't step up to the plate, take charge, make a decision on a timely basis and see that it's carried out, you're creating a potential problem. Your job as leader is to make decisions and take action. When decisions are put off because you're not sure what decision to make, or you take action without really making a decision, problems can start to pile up. That's when your business can get into trouble.

DOES HOPE FLOAT?
Charlie Brown, the little neurotic fellow we have all come to know and love is an eternal optimist when it comes to kicking a football.

Get Over It
I think it prudent to start off by saying that I am an unabashed Eagles fan going all the way back to when I heard their first album and the song, “Take It Easy,” in 1972. It’s not just their country rock sound, but the lyrics to their songs. They tell stories which resonate for so many of us, most certainly for me. The other day, while reading the newspaper with my morning coffee and toast, another one of those news stories came on the radio -- you know the ones I’m talking about. The person blames someone else, something else, and everything else, for all their perceived hardship in life. It wouldn’t be the first time, or the last, and that I am quite sure of. Now normally, I would have just moved past all the blah, blah, blah and not given it another thought, but right after the news the Eagles song, “Get Over It” came on the radio.
Quick Tips to Stay on the Cutting Edge In Business
Price Pritchett, renowned author on change, says, “Our current work habits produce weaker results as circumstances change. The more rapid the change, and the more radical the shift, the sooner our usual approaches lose their punch. We have to choose between two risks. First, we can gamble on our old habits, and watch our career skills gradually grow obsolete. Or we can accept the risks of the pioneer. The inventor. The explorer. The greater the safety lies in choosing this second risk, even though it feels chancier than the first.”

Inspirational Leadership Starts With Personal Responsibility
Personal responsibility seems to be losing popularity in America these days. At least, if you keep up with the news, you know the current government is operating much more from a position of government intervention and control than from a guiding principle of personal freedom and responsibility.

I suggest that this is part of the learned behavior that an aspiring Entrepreneur must adopt. You simply cannot walk away from many problems. You must face the music regardless of the sacrifices involved. I love Covey’s definition of “responsibility.” It is the ability to respond.
