If you are going to be successful, you have to start hanging out with the successful people.

I worked from 10 p.m. until 1 a.m. every night for a year to write the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book.

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.

Whatever your dream is, look yourself in the mirror and declare that you are indeed going to achieve it -no matter what the price.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

If you want to be really successful, and I know you do, then you will have to give up blaming and complaining and take total responsibility for your life -- that means all your results, both your successes and your failures. That is the prerequisite for creating a life of success.

If you are not moving closer to what you want in sales (or in life), you probably aren't doing enough asking.
