GO! GO! GO!!

My mentor, Zig Ziglar, “America’s Motivator” and bestselling author, has written what is sure to become a beloved classic, Born to Win.

Every now and then I recommend a book to you and hope you like it. But this book is a “must read” and I strongly encourage you to get one for yourself. Zig takes his 40+ years of teachings about success and what it really is and how to get it and puts it all in one easy-to-understand book.

Zig uses stories from his own life as well as many current examples of people all around the world to show you how you can plan, prepare, and expect to win in your life.

Recently our team experienced a true “Blast from the Past.”  And if you read our newsletter, you did, too!

Our team has been diligently working on a new website and blog at www.billycox.com. Many of our old newsletters from the past five years had to be transferred to our new site archives.  Our new site is set up to pull up our latest post and “blast” it out to our newsletter subscribers.  Therefore, each day for several days the last newsletter that was transferred to our new site was blasted out to you.

Interestingly, the response has been phenomenal. We have received tons of e-mails telling us they are loving the old archives.  Plus, we have thousands of new subscribers since we started this newsletter five years ago.  Feel free to check out our newsletters at www.billycox.com and see how we have transformed over the years.

I can tell you that reflecting on the past is good. Groundhog Day, some days, is inevitable.  And déjà vu is OK … as long as you don’t live there for long. The problem is when people live Groundhog Day over and over. They set New Year’s goals and by the middle of January already have forgotten them ─ losing the opportunity to learn from the past.

So, as we launch into the future and start a new chapter in this exciting journey called life, take some time to reflect on the past, enjoy the magic moments and learn the lessons. In today’s crazy, fast-paced, A.D.D world we can easily get so caught up in the DESTINATION that we miss the JOURNEY.

Your Friend,

Billy Cox

Developing a reputation for honesty and integrity is simply the right thing to do. It’s also a smart business and sales strategy because people do business with people they like and trust. When you have integrity, your prospects, customers, peers, and coworkers will trust you. And the more people trust you, the less risk they feel in working with you and in buying from you.

The truly outstanding salesperson doesn’t misrepresent what the product or service can do. The salesperson with integrity tells prospects when a product or service isn’t right for them. Even if a prospect doesn’t buy, he or she will always remember the salesperson’s integrity. According to Zig Ziglar, “The most important persuasion tool you have in your entire arsenal is integrity.”

Don’t get me wrong — I’ve made some mistakes I’m not proud of. What I can tell you is that the agony, dissatisfaction, and other negative consequences the low road brought were never worth it. I learned that lesson the hard way. Now I do my best to avoid the low road no matter what instant satisfaction or temporary rewards it may seem to offer.

Taking the high road is often not easy or popular, but if you compromise your principles and integrity, it will always end up costing you in the long run.

There’s a big difference between those who are committed and all the rest. People who are committed will do whatever it takes to follow through.

It’s been said that you are only as good as your word. Actually, I think this is only half right. I think it should be, “You are only as good as your word — if you do what you say you will do.” Your word must be your bond. If you commit to something, follow through. A person who keeps his or her word every time will gain respect from others. But a person who doesn’t keep his or her word, even in little things, will earn a negative reputation.

People often think that if they have good intentions they are straight shooters. That’s simply not true. You can have all the good intentions in the world, but if you don’t act in a way that’s consistent with those intentions, your goodwill is meaningless.

Our actions are more meaningful than our intentions, as reflected in this quote from the book Walk the Talk: “We judge ourselves mostly by our intentions, but others judge us mostly by our actions. People hear what we say, but they see what we do. And seeing is believing.”

To stay in the game, you gotta deliver what you promise. And walking the talk is absolutely critical in sales. I’ve seen a lot of companies with good products that are no longer in business because they didn’t follow through on their commitments.

In sports, if you don’t deliver, you’ll get cut from the team. In business, you must absolutely deliver on the commitments and obligations you make to customers, even if it means working overtime or losing money. Your ability and willingness to follow through and walk your talk are key indicators of your success.

Some people have a hard time honoring their commitments simply because they haven’t learned when and how to say no. They make too many promises without thinking about how they’re going to fulfill those commitments. This is the type of short-term thinking that gets people in trouble. It is far better to make fewer commitments and keep the ones you do make than to agree to everything and only partially  deliver on the promise.

Following through is simply the right thing to do, but it also has an unexpected benefit. When you follow through on your commitments (including the commitments you make to yourself), you gain confidence, belief, and momentum.

When teen-agers start taking completely responsibility for their lives, they take a giant step from being a child to being an adult.

Like the rest of us, the more teen-agers accept responsibility, the more they are in control of their lives and the more confident they feel. And deciding what they want and working to achieve it is a key component to being a responsible person.

I wrote DREAM Book for Teens to help teen-agers unleash the champions inside of themselves.  (Find out how to get your teen a DREAM Book here.) They have unlimited potential to be, do or have anything they want although right now they only are tapping into a fraction of what they are capable of. Dreams and goals will help them unlock this incredible potential if only they refuse to let circumstances, excuses, fear or limiting beliefs keep them from achieving those dreams and goals.

It takes a lot of hard work, focus, dedication, discipline and persistence. It involves of investment of their times – to properly define their dreams, set their goals and work their plan. In short, it takes commitment.

My questions for your teens: What is their dream? What do they want to achieve in the future?

My message to your teens: I’ve never found a better way to achieve dreams and goals than by using a Dream Book. It will take you step-by-step through a simple process that virtually guarantees you will accomplish your goals if you will just put the information into action.

When you fill out your Dream Book and specifically define your dreams and goals, it’s like magic. Good things will start happening right before your eyes. And as you make the journey to your dream life, your Dream Book with become one of the most valuable resources you have. It will be the one place where you can find everything you need to help you accomplish your goals and live your dreams.

The best thing about The Dream Book for Teens is that it is simple to use. All you have to do is follow the pattern by filling in the blanks. The key to making The Dream Book for Teens work is to just do it! And the more you do it, the better you will get at it, and the more success you will achieve.
