FYI #144: Why You Must Ping Often
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME you pinged? How did it make you feel?
I bet it brightened up your day, put a smile on your face and made the person you pinged happy too.
Pinging is fun and it’s good for your heart.
I love pinging and getting pinged. I do it as many times a day as [...]
The DNA of a Sales Superstar
Dear High Achiever:
DO YOU HAVE THE DNA? Do you have the right stuff to be a sales superstar?
Over the past ten years I’ve made a habit of showing up a couple hours early to my corporate and tradeshow talks so I can hear other people speak. Being a life-long student of learning, I love the [...]
Business, It’s Personal
Dear High Achiever:
ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, friends prefer to do business with friends. Period.

If you didn’t have a chance to read it yet, no worries, I’ve got a lot warm holiday relationship-building stuff I’m going to share with you this week. You can go back [...]
Are You S.W.I.F.T.?
Dear High Achiever:
ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, friends prefer to do business with friends. Period. That’s an indisputable fact. And, even when all things are notequal, friends still prefer to do business with friends.

If Not You, Who?
Dear High Achiever:

If not now, when?
These are two good questions [...]

Remember? I asked you to share with me what inspires you to Go Forward every day. And you generously did [...]
Where Do You Get Yours?
Dear High Achiever:
Questions. We get questions. I received an email the other day from one of your fellow High Achievers asking where I get the inspiration to write a newsletter every week.
Hmmm? It’s the first time I ever got that question. After 124 FYIs, I was actually quite surprised. But I realized that at live [...]
You’ve Only Got 90 Days Left
Dear High Achiever:
THIS SUMMER WENT BY FAST didn’t it? It’s finally beginning to look like autumn here in New Jersey.
Actually, if you’ve got a Jersey Shore mindset, “official” summer started with Memorial Day about 100 days ago and ended on Labor Day about 30 days ago.
But that’s all in the past [...]
Speak and Grow Rich
Dear High Achiever:
Some people say the #1 Fear in Life (more than death is … Public Speaking).
I don’t necessarily know that’s true but if you’re interested in where it ranks, feel free to Google the topic and check the various surveys for yourself. This FYI is going to be focused on the core [...]
Defining Moments
Dear High Achiever:
WHAT WAS YOUR LATEST DEFINING MOMENT? You and I have both had defining moments in our lives. You and I have both experienced an event – probably more than one – that changed the very essence of who we are and what we’ve become.
Think back. What moments stand out for [...]
