High achievers, or rock stars as they’re so often called, are the best thing that will ever happen to your business … trust me!

Did you hear that, new business owners and entrepreneurs? If not, listen to me again … high achievers will always take responsibility for their actions and behaviors … perhaps that’s why they are the people we all want to be around like all the time; why we want to help them succeed and why they garner so much influence over everyone else. These successful people actually create their own reality … one that works for both themselves AND for others around them (including you, if you’ve hired them) and above all else, they will make you filthy rich if you let them. So, whether your place has one employee or 100, recruiting and retaining these special kinds of people certainly equals profitability (you love that word, don’t you? Yea, I thought so!)! Continued

If you ever want to make it in this world, you need to tune out pathetic idiots’ jibber-jabber (note: it’s no good for you … to say the least)!

You need to remember one important thing in life: no one has any idea about what is right or wrong for you in life, no matter how hard they try to prove otherwise! For example, when they yell, “You must buy shares in this great upstart company, which will make you millions!” simply say to them “No you go ahead … YOU make money from it!” Why the nonchalance, you ask? Well, because these fools, when they talk like this are following someone else’s bad advice, and weren’t smart enough to break the stupid cycle by saying what I just told you to say. You dig?

Mission statements are pure bulls@#t!

They’re actually only for complete corporate morons, who couldn’t tell their asses from a hole in the ground. Don’t be like one of these blithering idiots … use a mantra to grow your company instead! Really … if your start-up business isn’t standing out it’s already fading away, and all that dough you’re throwing into advertising will be lost if its messages aren’t unique, concise and compelling. So you better be simplifying them with great content that people will always want more of. Here’s a news flash: big business has the cash to pay expensive ad agencies top dollar to do this for them, but you don’t … so save the cash and create a much more personal mantra that pops instead … one that is rich with relevance, proof and value for your customers.

Can you actually lend money to friends or family, while avoiding all the headaches that are associated with it?

The answer: NEVER EVER lend money to friends or family! Really, it’s just not a good idea (hey, don’t look at me like that. No, I’m not a d@#k). By doing so, you’d be mixing business with relationships, and most people who have lent cash to loved ones could attest to the fact that they were never paid back in full (sorry … that’s the sad, sad truth). Look, I know that you have good intentions when you decide to lend money to someone … we all do (or at least did, until we got burned way too many times in the past). But trust me on this one (I’m speaking from experience here): There’s a high probability that it will harm your friendship far worse than it will ever help the borrower’s temporary problem!

In sales (which mostly everything in this world is in) the man, the myth and the legend has always been the Closer!

Sure, companies need a few half-wits to run around like chickens with their heads cut off, answering all the stupid little questions that most customers who are only window shopping are going to ask! And yes, you need someone to keep the place neat and tidy … that’s why they promote the bores to management (these guys can’t sell their way out of a paper bag, to be quite honest with you)! However, without a Closer your place of employment wouldn’t be standing where it is … it’s true (you’d actually be standing in either a grass field or a Wal-Mart parking lot right now)!

One of the most important figures in a company are the Closers, and they are certainly cut from a different cloth (they’re either born with it or they’re not)! Sure these guys smoke like two packs of cigarettes a day, and get sloppy drunk in their off hours, but when they are out on that floor (which coincidentally is their Nirvana) they are gods amongst men, and nothing stands in their way of making that next sale … nothing! They know every little trick in the book when it comes to getting the job done, too! The rest of this article is a “tip of the iceberg” view of the magical powers that these lucky individuals naturally possess … Continued
