Yes, I’ll be throwing in some good literary references from time to time. Thanks for the comment, Charlotte.

Yes! Another good reminder to keep doing the little things. We don’t see the effect in the short-term and so we grow lax in our efforts sometimes (at least, I do!) I like the Longfellow quote

Good idea, Peter. Link to my blog and we can share sales traffic! I like “Sales ‘n Life” because they do intertwine completely.

Grayson–good to see you in PHX! Thanks for the nice comment. I’ll attempt to maintain my high level of production quality in my blogs. But you’re right: all these success principles tie together.

The thing I like about the advice on these blogs is that its not just for Sales, but can be easily transferred to Life. I also liked the analogy to sports in the way that your seasons (summer) success is determined in a big part in your pre-season work.

Hey Lee, great stuff. It’s true “practice does make perfect.” I truly believe that if you do anything right for a certain amount of time you can become an expert. That is why I am starting my own sales ‘n life blog so that I can practice and get feedback on ideas.

Yes, Chad, there is usually some suffering at the front end of a new skill one is learning. Good stuff. Thanks for the comment.

Great blog – it reminds me of the “10,000 hour” thing. I’ve definitely had my share of frustrations with things that are new … I used to be a terrible singer before I just swallowed my pride and practiced through all the noise. I’m definitely glad I didn’t give up!

well put–I think we can all relate to your example, whether it be music, sports, or selling books
