Deborah,

Yes, you’re on target. Your broad statement is true if who you are matches the career chosen.

However, too many are in the wrong career, for the wrong reasons, and spending far too long.

They can make a living, but feel a rather dull sense of satisfaction because they are not fully expressing who they are at a deeper level.

These are the people who need our help. We begin by demonstrating there are no magic formulas.

I’ve come across the same idea in a different form. The idea being, if you want to be an expert at something, do it relentlessly for 10 years. Anything done consistently for 10 years will become a success. It’s a pretty broad statement but it’s hard to find an example that it’s not true.

Thu Snodergaard,

Thank you for your nice comment.

By the way, Kierkegaard played a major role in helping us develop Authentic Systems and the Authentic Motivator in particular.

Jean,

I was never a salesman in the true sense. I was fired so many times, I decided to quit first and avoid the embarrassment. I had 7 sales jobs in 5 years.

I gave up on sales and bought a small business. When I had it up for sale, 5 years later, a vendor offered me a sales job and I gave sales one more chance.

But I could not afford to repeat the same pattern and succeed. I knew that all my past sales training did not work. That’s when I applied the philosophy of language to selling and Authentic Systems was born.

Authentic Systems enabled me to support my family through door-to-door cold-call sales for the next 30 years.

Persistence was the answer.

Thanks for your comment. Wright any time.

For me, when thinking about success, persistence sometimes comes across as being akin to fertilizer, an unappealing but necessary component of producing a fertile garden.

The successful are those who persist because they:
1. Learn to see the value inherent in the challenges (bs) they confront along the way; and
2. They learn how to incorporate and utilize said challenges for their success.
