A little cheese to go with the whine?

Jeffrey Gitomer has taught me a lot...

I own at least 6 of his books, and I subscribe to his weekly Sales Caffeine newsletter...

His philosophy is summed up in this simple phrase:

"You can't be a winner if you're a whiner, weiner."

Thank you, Mr. Gitomer.

You see, there are many in our field that prefer to whine.

Whining is easy. It let's them off the hook. It allows them to remove themselves from accountability.

Point the finger at someone else, it's THEIR fault...

Isn't it?

Is it? Really?

The economy...a competitor...lazy, no good staff...discounters...direct cremation...Jessica Mitford...the media...

Really? Is it their fault?

Or have you gone soft? Have you lost your edge? Are you not willing to invest yourself 100% in your business anymore?

Are you too old to eat, sleep and breathe the business?

What is it?

What is keeping you from action?

What is keeping you from success?

If you aren't living the dream, the person whose fault it is can be located in your bathroom mirror.

Remember "No Fear" back in the 90's?

A lot of cool sayings (on clothes I couldn't afford at the time)like:

"Winners do what the losers didn't"

Anyone seen the "Living By It" video by Harley-Davidson? Hunt it up on the Net if you can...it talks about things like this, with a Harley slant of course.

Winners do. What losers don't.

Winners just do.

They take action. They make choices.

Losers look for excuses. Scapegoats. They cling to any scrap of support for their inaction. "I don't have the money" is one of their favorite hymns.

Losers don't do a lot of things.

Losers sure don't win.

Are you a winner?

Are you a loser?

You have a choice to make. Which side of the tracks do you want to be on?

I have given you 8 options on my website http://danielheaman.com to help you back to the right side of the tracks. For as little as a C-note.

Welcome back.

To your success,

Dan Heaman, CFSP

Your friend and customer Mr. & Mrs. John Q. Older-Adult don't trust folks on the phone much anymore, unless your name is Ron Popeil, Dr. Phil or Billy Graham.

The invention of the "No Call List" should have been the first clue.
