The Verizon Commercial…can you hear me now?

Whenever some people complain to me (and
there’s a whole lot of them! ) about how bad
the market is and how difficult it is to get started
or even to continue, I tell them that they’re just
watching too much TV, and then I share this
story I came across back when I got laid off from
my IT job:

Les Brown, a noted inspirational speaker,
tells the story of one of his friends, a salesman,
who was in financial trouble because sales were
down. Les asked him, “How many phone calls
are you making a day?” His friend answered,
“Twenty five.”

Les didn’t hesitate with his advice. “Double them,”
he said. “Make fifty. Or seventy-five.
Or one hundred.”

The salesman answered, “Aw, man. that’s too
much.”

“Too much!” replied Les. “You tell me that you
are behind on your bills and then you say it’s too
much. You know, one way to get back on your
feet real quick is to miss two car payments. How
can you say anything is too much when you have
everything at stake?”

The advice Les Brown gave his friend needs to
be heard by people everywhere. It’s amazing what
we can do when we’re “hungry” for success. Most
people who say “I’ve tried,” haven’t scratched the
surface of their potential.

Today, why not make a commitment to achieve
your personal best?
