My purpose isn’t to ask you to change, it’s to ask you to be happy. If you’re unhappy, put up with the temporary pain that’s involved in changing. However, if you won’t put up with the necessary pain of change then just stay happy. Or, if you can’t do that because your happiness is slipping away from you, recognize that you’re starting to feel the pain of changes thrust on you by others. That situation is all too common in life. The best—and perhaps the only—way to beat it is to take command of your future and start changing things yourself.
There’s going to be some pain involved in putting the ideas in these pages to work for you. Face it. I’m going to ask you to learn things you’re not doing now. I’m going to ask you to do things you’ve never done before— such as ask for the order.
Do you know that there are salespeople everywhere who have never asked one of their prospects to buy? Never. Not one time. Don’t look around in your next sales meeting for such a salesperson. Check your mirror first.
We all have certain ideas and values. We are us, and we’re not going to change. Let me give you an example. Hypothetically, let’s say that for health reasons it’s a wise decision for you to lose weight at this time. Let’s suppose that you’re 50 pounds overweight. If you’re happy being 50 pounds overweight, then you should just stay that way and never think about dieting. However, if you’re unhappy with the extra weight, then you’d be wise to do something about it, don’t you agree?
‘[he day you commit to a diet, you’re going to go through some pain. You’re going to feel pain until you lose that 50 pounds. Then, as you slither down the street, and everyone asks how you did it, you’ll smile and say, “Nothing to It.’’
