PERSPECTIVE IMPACTS EVERY THOUGHT
YOU THINK AND ACTION YOU TAKE
William James said, “The real voyage to self-discovery is not in seeking new
lands, but in seeing old lands with new eyes.” Every process takes perspective
to fully appreciate and learn from and requires a certain posture in order to
improve your odds. Embrace the entire experience, good and bad, and then
take responsibility for the current state of your business and skill sets, no mat-
ter the circumstances. The path to success is rarely easy or just given as a gift.
It takes an exponential learning curve that makes the process much easier the
more you do the necessary actions.
ATTITUDE: PERSPECTIVE WITH A SMILE
Passion is the key to attraction. People are inspired by those possessing pas-

in sales, people want to be a part of it. It’s critical to find your own joy,
march to your own drummer, follow your own path. If you know why you
are doing something, you will eventually find out how and have the energy
to see it through.
Silence is a demonstration of perspective. People who have the ability
to hold a thought, consider an opportunity, and restrain themselves
from impulses will likely make better choices. The unspoken word is often
much louder than the spoken word. It has been said that it is better to
remain silent and appear a fool than to open your mouth and remove
all doubt.
Embrace the philosophy that suggests that whatever experiences you
have always serve you in some way, if you are willing to adopt that per-
spective. Demand that your past serve your future and that your failures
teach you successful ways notto do things. Demand that your victories
provide strong emotions that remind you of joy, power, and unity with
others. Remember that the journey is the destination; so don’t miss the
journey.
Feelings come and go like the sun and stars. If you rely on your feelings
to dictate your daily actions, your commitments, your responsibilities, or
your excuses, you are doomed to a dreary future. Don’t blame how you feel
or how someone else has made you feel because of their actions. Your attitude
is always within your control. You are never a victim. Choose service, com-
