Leave Your Self-Doubt at the Marina

Well, nothing like a row of 100 foot yachts to make you feel like you’ve accomplished nothing :-).

Our trip to Monaco was fantastic. We were meeting with our business coach Alan Weiss and a group of fellow business owners. We spent three very productive days tackling our business challenges and sharing best practices.

If you don’t do it, this type of forum is a must. It is far too easy to get stuck in the day-to-day of running your sales business. Taking a step back and hearing another perspective is often what it takes to make the changes that will truly make a difference in your results.

Another key thing is to surround yourself with great team members. Nothing can bring down a leader faster than a team with poor performance and bad attitudes. And it starts with recruiting the right people.

But back to the yachts – I have to say the display of wealth was over-the-top. Russian oligarchs and Saudi princes abounded. You can see a few examples on my posting to Facebook last week. And just as I was getting a bit discouraged, Chris reminded me that what’s important is not what others have achieved, it is doing what you love and reaching your own goals for happiness.

Dedicated to increasing your sales,
