Ready to walk away?

Ready to walk away?

Yes.

Told the CEO last Friday that i’ve grown weary in waiting because the waiting translates into a lack of commitment.

It’s been 19 months since we met.

If this is what it’s like when we don’t have a contract, what will it be like when (if) we do?

i must be brave enough to become a category of one.

i begin by disrupting my deeply-engrained habits.

Eliminating theory is to gain wisdom

Eliminating theory is to gain wisdom.

Analogous to being an arm-chair quarterback versus an actual quarterback.

Knowing life’s best quotes and timeless sayings is irrelevant if all we have is knowledge.

Execution is key.

Period.

Will we spend a lifetime holding back because we are afraid to go first?

Tell the truth painting
The truth can set us free. It can also hurt us. We must decide.

 

Just had a moment…

Skimming through some LinkedIn updates it occurs to me that we may be habitually dwelling on quotes and idealistic stories from great companies, as well as the latest research studies on high performing teams.

And then instead of using this to initiate healthy change in ourselves, we use it as another unhealthy brick added to the wall that holds us back for “being the change we wish to see”.

Instead, we find one more piece of evidence against our dysfunctional leadership team. One more reason to laser focus on the change that’s not happening with someone else.

Will we spend a lifetime holding back because we are afraid to go first?

And will we never notice the daily missed opportunities?

Without any sales experience, without having a passion for sales

Windermere Prep boys Basketball
Regionals at home. The win advanced our school to the State Semi-finals.

 

Is there a way to become a salesperson, without having any sales experience, and without having a passion for sales?

And if the answer is yes to both, is it possible to rewrite how to sell?

Cultural transformation to move from decently surviving to abundantly thriving revolves around which of the two questions we embrace:

  1. Is it worth trying to do?
  2. Can it be done?

Almost always the belief – with a litany of excuses – will be that it can’t be done.
