Sometimes you just gotta have some fun and traditional thinking can often times get in the way of creating some real fun.
What started off as “awesome” with a 15 foot slip n slide turned into redefining “awesome” with a bigger vision.
Walt Disney said: “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Often times we don’t dream big enough and set limitations that are only self imposed.
Enjoy this video not only because it is fun… but for you to question how big your dreams are and what would happen if you redefined what you think is already “awesome” in your life.

I work with, develop and observe a lot of entrepreneurs who sell a product or service who struggle to make ends meet.
They seem to struggle the most with sales. I was the same until I really understood what sales was… in fact, I was afraid of sales.
Because most people don’t know how to sell something they talk, talk, talk and then try to “sell” what they have to someone who really does not want or need it.
So, how do you sell ice to an Eskimo? It is the same way you sell anything to anyone… you must ask questions to find out a few things:
1) Do they have a need RIGHT NOW for your product or service
2) If they have a need: What is their main motivation for wanting this in their life
3) If they have a need: How actively are they looking for what you have NOW and in what time frame are they looking to invest
3) What else, if anything, have they looked into already and what type of funds have they put aside to invest once they found what they like (how do they plan on paying for it)
4) If all the above criteria is met, then you can ask: How open are they to learning a little more about what you have
Bottom line, if the Eskimo is looking for ice, needs it now, has an idea of how they will buy it and is open to looking at your “ice”… you have a much better chance of them buying from you. You will never know this unless you ask questions.

I believe that the results we create in our life are a product of the questions we ask ourselves.
While we cannot change our destination over night, we CAN change our direction… this happens via questions.
Here is one: If you continue with the same activities and habits you are doing now for the next five years… what would your health, relationships and finances look like then?
If that put a smile on your face then congratulations… you have created and are following a winning plan.
If your heart sank, no need to freak out… Isn’t it great you asked yourself this question now versus five years from now?
If you just realized your plan is not one that is leading to the destination you desire, you can change your direction NOW!
What is one small thing I can do now that will take me closer to my new destination?
Ex: If you want to get healthier, go munch on an apple. They say- “An apple a day…” well what if that were true?
You will be AMAZED at what that small action will do to your self esteem and belief that you CAN do it!
