A recent study was completed in NYC. 10 students in NYC people asked people from all walks of life in a NY Subway for their seat. 70% gave up their seat. Crazy high % say yes when asked to do something. At the same time students were very reluctant to ask. How often do I ask for referrals? Volunteer help at church? Ask help from a neighbor? We can play offense in most aspects of life.

Knowledge is not power. You need to do something with your knowledge consistently. It’s all about the routine. This changes your behavior which leads to incredible results. I received this wisdom from Darren Hardy this morning.

My son gave me the book GreenLights by Matthew McConaughey. Here’s a passage that caught my attention, “If you are not a starter and think you should be give em no choice in the decision. Play so well it is undeniable.”

This wisdom can apply to most areas of living!

Jesus is not the reason for the season. We are the reason for the season! If we were not all sinners, God would not have come down to earth to save us and give us eternal life. Merry Christmas!

Jim Rohn said, “The quality of your networks determines the quantity of your net worth.” Now get out there and meet the right people!

Seek to help others versus trying to sell them. Helping one person can lead to helping millions!

4 Pillars of Leadership From Darren Hardy:

Character- Infrastructure. There are a myriad of attributes.

Awareness- Insights/EQ. Self Awareness and Other Awareness.

Courage. Initiative. 1st of virtues. The will and confidence to get out of the herd.

Communication- Influence. To connect and move people.

From a Brevet Group study-

91% of customers say they’d give referrals. Only 11% of salespeople ask for referrals.

Make small changes each day to produce big results.

I read an article by Keith Lubner and he shared that we need to avoid ambiguity and be clearer in our communication. For example, “I need a response by Tuesday at noon.” I am going to start giving this a try.
