In this episode I give you the ultimate job interview plan BTW this strategy works in business like a dream so give it a try. Speak soon Len

When a prospect makes a decision to buy from you, very rarely will they come straight out and say it. As the business owner, it's up to you to take charge of the buying process and know how to spot a buying signal when you see one. The fact is, prospects are reluctant to say they're ready to buy. Instead they give off hints, AKA buying signals, and then they'll wait to be asked to buy. Which means that if you miss these buying signals and you don't ask for the sale, you stand a good chance of your prospect walking away without buying.

How to be productive and keep your sanity is a mystery many fail to solve. I have a few ideas that may help you. Life is too short and too precious to give it away. Let me explain. By give it away I mean to hand over the life you have now and in the future to someone else. To surrender your destiny so to speak. To instill in your belief system that the good things in life are always destined for someone else not you is in my opinion a recipe for disaster. If you believe your life is going to be crap it invariably will or at least it will to you. To start on the road to leading the life you want you first have to accept responsibility for everything that happens in your life. Rather than blaming someone or something else for the results you're getting sit down and take a hard look at what you did or didn't do and what you could have done that would have delivered a more desirable outcome for you.
