Everything that works in sales has been done already. Just keep track of the crap that you buy, or the awesome stuff that you buy, and decide what was the trigger, and then just sell to people like you. It's really that easy - and that's what I do.

It is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor.

Focus on better use of your best weapons instead of constant repair.

Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn't be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself I'll just get it done this weekend.
