"So what do you want to be when you grow up????"
by Tom "Big Al" Schreiter
Ouch.
A terrible programming question.
I didn't realize this until I had dinner with John and
Anna Tarr last week. During dinner, Anna said:
"My relatives always asked me what kind of
business I wanted to own when I grew up."
Her relatives never thought about jobs, they always
thought about owning a business.
Maybe we can take a tip from Anna. Instead of asking
children what they want to be when they grow up ...
(as in what kind of job) ... maybe we can pre-program
them for success by saying:
"And what kind of business do you
plan to own when you grow up?"

My friend, Dub, says:
"Never laugh at anyone's dream. People
who don't have dreams, don't have much."

I don't remember where I heard this, and it probably isn't
even legal because I am sure there is some sort of implied
medical claim, but it was so good, I thought I would share
it with you.
"The operation to remove gangrene is just
a little bit more expensive and painful
than taking these vitamin supplements."
I just remember thinking that it was a great way to put
things into perspective.

Wisecracking old lady embarrasses me at the workshop,
but makes a great point.
I'm doing my best. I think the training workshop is going
well, but there is one big problem.
In the front row sits a very, very old man and his wife.
The old man is sleeping.
But it gets worse . . . he's SNORING - really loud.
I try to be diplomatic, so I ask his wife:
"Your husband is snoring and disturbing the rest
of the group. Would you mind waking him up?"
She replied:
"YOU wake him up. YOU put him to sleep!"
Ouch. She was right. I was responsible for his sleeping
and snoring - and I wasn't taking personal responsibility
for my actions. I wanted somebody else to fix things for me.
Sound familiar?
Do you have distributors who want you to lower the prices,
to move the meetings nearer, to make the prospects more
receptive, and to do all the work for them?
Teach them about personal responsibility. Remind them often.
Hey, even I forget.
