  1. True confidence: Your common sense will produce uncommon results.
  2. Strategy is picture of future. Planning only extends the present. Strategic planning is an oxymoron.
  3. No medals awarded for crisp uniform. Medals are for battle. Get out of the house.
  4. If you have to explain that it was a joke, then it wasn't funny.
  5. Shop your prospect's business before you meet with the buyer.
  6. Sweeping view of Manhattan from suite in Hoboken W. When I was a kid, in this spot I'd be sitting on a hill of dirt, rock.
  7. Strategy formulation is relatively easy. The tough part, & the $$, is in implementation.
  8. People who critique Tweets have WAY too much time on their hands.
  9. @edmokmg Then ignore it. All of my 46 books are probably "obvious."
  10. Don't charge clients for mileage when you drive. Amateur.
  11. TSO: Tepid standing ovation. We're debasing quality. Only key is whether we're rehired.
  12. Most critical question in sales: "Why?" Takes you right to objectives.
  13. @makegaines @bentleygtcspeed That's not even book publishing, you don't ask someone like me for that. Use some judgment.
  14. @makegaines @bentleygtcspeed I have a very strong brand that I'm very careful to use well. I don't endorse self-published books.
  15. @makegaines @bentleygtcspeed Must be commercially published, I must read at least a draft, my testimonial must be on rear cover.
  16. Beagle Lessons: contrarianconsulting.com/the-dog-star-b…
  17. $100,000 is a gnat on the windshield of corporate investments.
  18. More "experts" wrong, Facebook goes nowhere with stock.
  19. Talk about yourself, you boor people. Talk about them, you're a brilliant conversationalist!
  20. If you don't give options it's always "take it or leave it."
