Efficiency Sales Professionals understand that successful selling is a holistic practice. Their choices and habits, both in their personal and professional lives, are aligned with their goals. To achieve success, one must plan for it. It’s one thing to hope for success or to assume that your values and work ethic will lead you to become successful, and it’s another thing to write out a plan for precisely how you will achieve your goals and aspirations and to stick to that plan throughout your life.
Tom Newberry’s book, Success Is Not an Accident, teaches you how to plan for success. The seven key lessons that Newberry imparts are a great foundation for building a thoughtful and intentioned strategy for success. If you haven’t already discovered this book, I highly recommend picking up a copy.
Here’s a summary from Amazon Books:
“Tommy Newberry's best-selling Success Is Not an Accident (self-published in 1999) has helped over 100,000 readers achieve higher levels of success in both their personal and professional lives. Reminiscent of best-selling authors Stephen Covey and John Maxwell, Newberry teaches readers the power of goal setting, time management, visualization, and “self-talk” so they can achieve peak levels of performance in all areas of their lives.”
