Actionable tips:

  • Simplify your pitch and cut out any jargon or filler language. A clear message often resonates more with clients.
  • While teamwork is valuable, make a habit of tackling challenges independently before asking for help. It builds resilience and confidence.

“Don't act out of resentment, selfishness, or without thoughtfulness, just to be different. Don't overcomplicate your ideas with fancy words... Stay positive and independent, don't rely on others for support or comfort.” - Marcus Aurelius

In sales, less is often more.

It's easy to overcomplicate a pitch or fill silence with excessive words. Instead, focus on asking simple, direct questions that guide the conversation.

Your message should be clear and concise; think Steve Jobs, whose minimalist approach made Apple’s products memorable.

Avoid relying on others for every step; trust your own expertise.

When you simplify, your solution speaks for itself, leaving a stronger, lasting impression. 

Remember you will die.
