46 Quotes by Chris J. Gregas

Success is very elusive especially when you are trying to chase it down. The more you obsess over it, the more it’s seems to fly like a bird quickly away from you. People don’t deem you a success just because of your bank account. People will wait in a long line someday at your wake because of the donation you deposited into their otherwise difficult life.

Remind yourself that successful salespeople love their product and their company, and they love to sell and prospect. If you don’t have that kind of love on most days and most of every day, then it is time to make a change. Or better yet, re-sign on the dotted line and start over. Doing the same things over and over again and expecting a magic carpet ride across the world is pitiful thinking and the kind of reasoning that will keep you poor with a capital “P”.

Limiting beliefs will always keep you behind the eight ball and surely keep you from getting to the next level in your business. It isn’t about hard work, or capabilities or opportunities as much as it is what story you tell yourself about YOU and about those in your path.

Self-development is far more important than any other development. We cannot make people do things, but we can will ourselves to greater heights. Business and sales are all about us being on point. If we are distracted or in some way disillusioned, we will be in the bread line sooner or later. We need to learn to work harder on ourselves than at our job.

A positive attitude enables you to make a difference in the world around you because when you can see things in a positive light, you help to influence and shape other people's attitude as well. No one wants to be around a pessimist for very long. Our words create worlds and in business this is extremely important to remember. If we do not see the things that we can do than to be sure we will not engage in the things we must do.

Appetite not interest makes the world go around. Did you know that we are daily led by our priorities, not our interests however varied they may be? We are interested in a lot of things that we do not act on but what brings us satisfaction and a sense of benefit is what we daily gravitate to and gravitate with a purpose. We will move heaven and earth to accomplish something we are passionate about while the things that lead us to yawn, we move away from as quickly as we can.

Whether you know or not, you are always under construction as a person and a business builder. You may feel like you are under extreme pressure to perform but you need to always remember that you “are becoming” and you have not arrived. Life and sales are a continual journey, not a destination. The room for improvement and growth is the largest room in the world.

Stop bemoaning the “good ‘old days” when your boss or company was different or easier on you. Remember, the same sun that melts butter, hardens clay so be that person who when life deals out lemons, they open a lemonade stand up and smile all the way home. Your clients deserve that kind of YOU on a regular basis. This too shall pass!

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can. That recipe will insure you of the thing that matters most at the end of the day and that is that it is more blessed to give than receive but receiving after you have given is the most rewarding feeling of all.
