Nicholas did not want to tell me, but he completely agrees with Gary, I’ve lost him in this thread. What he didn’t realize is that, letting me know that late, as opposed to early, hurts worse. So, Nico, you’re on notice, keep me on track whenever I lose or even just bore you! I NEED [...]

In the past, groups met in rooms. There were parties, too, and those were wonderful. Meals and seminars, conferences and concerts. Inside houses and buildings of brick and mortar, people met, congregated and got to know each other, a little. Friendships were sparked in potential, but then, to actually be friends other things had to [...]

So, what really is in it for me, after all? There is an amazing equality we discover as we ponder this question. Regardless of our list, whatever is in it for you is also what’s in it for me. Using David Schneider’s algebra: WIFM = WIFY And in long hand: What’s In It For Me [...]

You may not know much about martial arts, but you likely have some idea what a black belt is. Wouldn’t you be proud to have a Black Belt in Recruiting? What recruiter wouldn’t want one?

I will happily leave this thread open, in case you have thoughts, [...]

4. Transformation that Breaks Today’s Limits Which limit would you like to break? Do you work out, and do you have any athletic goals? I love to preach that business performance is an athletic endeavor! There are always obviously financial goals to consider. How much money did you make last year; last quarter; last month? [...]

Why is it that my little list brings first Rodney Dangerfield and then loads of mob films to mind? Of course, Rodney’s famous “I don’t get no respect” is clear. And, it helps me make my point about sequencing our values. If Rodney had real power, he’d get respect, wouldn’t he? But, why wouldn’t respect [...]

3. Hard-Fought and Hard-Won Progress I wish I could sell easy. I try to sell fast, but since I never know if we can actually deliver that or not, I’m always careful about that so-tempting promise! Sometimes, I really do get to sell natural, organic, the next step that is just waiting to be taken, [...]

I really am interested. What do you think of my current four elements of value? 1. Power 2. Respect 3. Recognition 4. Reward When we build lists such as this, the question is always just like Goldilocks. Do we have too few items, too many, or just the right number? If we reduce value down [...]
