Often we wonder why our success isn't happening more quickly and we feel like the fly trying to get through the window. A futile effort. 

Simple changes can turn your lack of success around and it can happen very quickly.

This week I explain what Ray did to make a dramatic shift in his success attracting Dream Team members.

These three keys from Ray's recent success are crucial!

Many people ask me how to get started and how to pick an industry.

Recently a CEO told a mentee I am working with ...  "I only want to know one thing to start "How is the world a better place because of your idea?"

We tackle how to answer that question this week.

Recently I have seen a lot of people quit just before the goal line.

Dan Peña addressed the level of commitment required for super success a few years back in a video. I've included the audio from that video in this week's podcast.

The saying "Talk is cheap" is certainly true.

I always liked the practice of "under promise and over deliver".

That's the subject for this week.

This is what true commitment sounds like!

This week I've included Marcus Lutrell's account of Operation Redwing. Operation Redwing was portrayed in the movie Lone Survivor.

Quitting is not an option. PERIOD!

If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye I don't know what will.

Figuring out what you are willing to give for what you want to get is critically important.

Here are two examples that really illustrate that point very clearly.

When you recognize the problem, commit to a course of action, find the right tools (maybe even a mentor) and take massive action it is amazing the results you can achieve.

Rosebell and Maurice are two great examples of that!

Dan Peña last week did a live Facebook Q& A and I found his comments humbling.

It got me thinking about what successful people's conversations sound like. 

Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people

One of the lessons I learned from Dan Peña, my mentor of 26+ years, was to focus on the few not the many.

Too often a loss of focus and procrastination stops us in making progress in achieving our goal.

So here's how to keep moving forward ASAHP!

Last week's podcast was an interview with Shawn and his journey to close his first deal.

He did that in a little over a year and had many obstacles along the way but as he said; following Dan Peña's QLA process step by step was critical.
