Profiting From Your Passion

We all know that we should avoid arguing with people on the internet or people who are just plain ornery.

But what about the people we actually need to deal with on a daily basis? How do we avoid an argument with them while still getting our point across?

Former college tennis player and current Dale Carnegie Training instructor Tim Shoptaugh joins us to discuss just that as well as give us some great tips on how to practice this.

Enjoy!

Where are you trying to go and what tools do you have to get there?

Here’s where Joey and I break down what we are trying to accomplish with our podcast while at the same time giving you some value!

We want to educate and promote the Dale Carnegie course because we’ve witnessed first hand the impact it can have on you and your family.

Imagine your life when you start living outside of your comfort zone and start tackling your fears! It’s amazing what can happen when you put yourself out there.

What is your biggest worry from day to day? If you’re like me it’s typically one of two things:

Both of these questions, Dale Carnegie says, produce unnecessary anxiety and worry in  your life. Instead we should focus on today and make sure we maximize our experience and impact during any given day.

Is every person you allow to stay in your life important? Be it at work or at home, do they add value and make your life better or easier in some way?

If you answered yes, then great! So why don’t we treat them like they are important?

Sometimes it’s because we take them for-granted. Sometimes it’s because we don’t know how to make them feel important. And other times it’s a combination of the two. But what if we could go out of our way to make them  feel important! What would that look like?

This week former Stuller, Inc. CEO and President Jay Jackson tackles that question and more. Don’t miss his wisdom and insight!

Once you’ve asked enough questions and you can identify their interests it’s now time to talk in terms of their interests!

Sometimes that’s easier said than done, though. How do we keep a conversation going when the other person’s interests are not even in our wheel house?

The talented Ashley Alexander answers that for us in this week’s podcast! Enjoy…

Do you ever get the feeling the people you’re trying to communicate with just aren’t listening?

Chances are they feel the exact same way. When we take the time to listen to someone, and listen to understand not just respond, we may find that they are on the same page as us – maybe just a different paragraph.

This week’s guest is Richard Wolfe. A former Dale Carnegie graduate assistant who has seen incredible results since taking the Dale Carnegie Training course.

He’s a member of Toastmasters and has a ton of value to share with everyone!

Dale Carnegie’s sixth principle is stated this way:

“Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”

Wow! Kinda puts a lot of pressure on both remembering someone’s name and just as important pronouncing it correctly!

What if you could remember the names of 20-plus people, first and last, after just one night? You can get that and much more when you enroll in Dale Carnegie Training!

This week’s guest is Terrence Richard. He’s a sales specialist with Cox Communications, but more importantly he’s a genuine person who knows how valuable knowing someones name can really be.

Today’s guest is Laurie J. James, a career coach and certified master career director who is a smile in human form.

Pop quiz. What is everyone’s favorite subject to talk about?

That’s right! Themselves. By simply asking a few questions and honestly trying to get to know another person an amazing thing will happen. You’ll become GENUINELY interested in them!

I’ve heard that you can make more friends in three weeks by becoming genuinely in them than you can in three YEARS by trying to get them interested in you.

This week we talk with Maria Pitre who tells us how this principle not only helps her sell real estate, but also allows her to be the best version of herself.

Enjoy!

“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.” – Dale Carnegie

What motivates you? What motivates your employees? What is the quickest way to get them operating as a top performer?

Dale Carnegie says we need to have an “eager want” to do the task as productively as possible. When our whole heart is in it, we will take pride in our work and want it to stand out.

Arousing that eager want is sometimes trickier than we may think. We have to actually know the person we are trying to inspire so we have to be a good listener. This week Felipe Pinzon talks about his experiences with this principle and how it has impacted him in the world of cellular sales.
