In this episode, Karen and Jeff discuss:

        Success Story of Jeff         Commit to Get Leads

o    Learn one new thing, that you don’t need to learn every day. Then think of that idea as a puzzle piece that you are gathering to solve a problem not otherwise solved.

        Consult to Sell

o    Schedule days out of your office and with your customer. Go to where your customer is and hang out, not for selling, just to find out what they are needing.

        Connect to Build and Grow

o    Document your processes, automate what you can, and outsource those things that you can.

        Success Thinking, Activities and Vision

o    Your attitude determines your outcome. Part of success is focusing on what’s possible, not what’s not possible.

        Sweet Spot of Success

 

 

"Instead of complaining about the life you have, why don’t you design the life you wish you had? You can live any life you want to life, as long as you find a way to become valuable to the people you want to be around. You do that by finding a way to solve problems they need help solving."- Jeff Hoffman
