Summary
Success, it’s often said, begins on the inside. Then it works its way outward where it eventually manifests. We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, we look at this from the point of view of a man who absolutely changed himself from the inside out. He’ll share terrific wisdom in this regard from his fantastic book. That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
- The importance of a key quote from the great success philosopher Jim Rohn: “Become a millionaire, not for the million dollars, but for what it will make of you to achieve it.”
- A universal law of life: We grow on the inside first, and that growth then manifests itself on the outside via the actual, tangible results.
- Why the “how-to” aspect of sales will only get you partway to the magnificent success you have the ability to attain.
- Why integrity and character are so vital for long-term, sustainable success.
