Real change happens when we stop making excuses and get into action. How will your business, income or sales level change if you don't change?

Your sales team, customer service staff, your managers and others in your business are not doing as well as you'd like. Admit it. If they were, your goals would be a speck in your rear-view mirror.

Salespeople - I've worked with a few. As a young media assistant, then media buyer, planner/buyer and agency owner, I've talked with all kinds. The good, the bad, and the, well, really bad.

It's Monday, and I'm feeling generous.

I am going to offer one lucky person a free copy of my Marketing Boot Camp.

Twelve years ago today, I joined the world of entrepreneurship. I was 26 years old, and, I suspect, too young and inexperienced to be scared. Through this crazy ride of self-employment, I have learned valuable lessons, and continue to learn more each day.

  1. You don't know it all, and you never will. You will always have room for growth and improvement. Check your ego and choose...
