Taking Off Into The Wind; Creating Lift out of Life
http://mnsales.com/book/ - This book is written for the person who is a salesperson – the human being before the human doing. This book is not filled with new techniques and updated procedures. There are plenty of those books on the shelves. And I have many of them.

This book is not filled with new techniques and updated procedures. There are plenty of those books on the shelves. And I have many of them.
This book is about creating the inspiration needed to apply the techniques: the beliefs we need to create to support the daily behavior that delivers the desired results we constantly seek. Without this inspiration, we don’t apply what we know.
This hesitation holds us back from a better life. We need the inspiration to turn our face to the wind and take on adversity – every day. Planes take off into the wind to achieve more lift. Trees become stronger with deeper roots because of the wind..
With inspiration, we can become stronger when adversity arises by applying what we know. Smart people don’t fail because they don’t know. They fail because they don’t apply themselves. They lack the commitment and determination needed to overcome adversity.
That is my goal for Taking Off Into the Wind – to create the inspiration in you to take on the adversities of life when you apply yourself. The benefits will strengthen you and you will be able to be more to others in your life. Be the tree with deep roots that holds its ground when the wind blows.
Thank you for letting me make an impact on your life and an influence in the outcome – the future. I, too, am a salesperson.

Top Sales Associate of the Year
Thomson Reuters - FindLaw
Doubled my quota and outperformed all other sales associates. Since I was the newest member to the company, my secret was to make more calls, and I did. In 1998, I made over 10,000 outbound, cold calls to attorneys on the East coast.
