| The Rules of Business Success The purpose of The Rules is to give you tools not always used by other sales people. These tools will expand how you think about selling and your customer. If you think outside the normal pattern of sales people, you will sell more. If you use the tools that
have made others reach new levels of success, you will enjoy a better life and you will sell more. The rules of business then and now Take a look at a list of traits of successful people complied by Investors Business Daily. Next go a farther down the page and read the 9 tenets of Miyamoto Musashi. These secrets and nine tenets will change your life if you are able to use them in your daily
actions. Compare the nine tenets of Musashi to the 10 secrets of IBD. Think about this, Musashi wrote his rules in 1654 and IBD wrote theirs in 1999. The Rules do not change! I have found that it is helpful to read about successful people every week. One great resource for this is Investors Business Daily. In an article about a year ago, at the time of his death, IBD profiled Stanley Marcus and said he lived by the Rules and he did it on a very low tech system. I would maintain that if he had a product like Act! he would have insisted that his sales people use it, because it would increase their sales skills. "We can look like gold if we work as hard polishing ourselves as the sailor polishing the brass on the ship," he told the group. "We can be better than we really are if we make the effort."

Success
The Nine Tenets of Miyamoto Musashi from published by Overlook Press translated by Victor Harris Become acquainted with every art. Know the Ways of all professions. Develop intuitive judgment and understanding of everything. Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters. Perceive those things which cannot be seen. Pay attention even to trifles. Do nothing which is of no use. "If you practice day and night…your spirit will naturally broaden. It is important to start by setting these broad principles in your heart, and train in the Way of strategy. If you do not look at things on a large scale it will be difficult for
you to master strategy." If you would like to participate in a program that coaches you on how to live these rules visit Your Best Year Ever, the one year training that has changed peoples lives. You can call me at 800-735-5717 |
