Being perfect by Ron Padgett

A long time ago Ron Padgett wrote a book on how to be perfect.  I think we all can learn a lot from him. Millennial or not, let’s look at a few of the simple ones like: Get some sleep; Hope for everything. expect nothing; Be friendly. It will make you happy; Don’t be too self-critical or too self congratulatory. Take a deep breath; Do not go crazy a lot. It’s a waste of time; Do one thing at a time. Be good; Be honest with yourself and diplomatic with others.

Sounds pretty simple, why don’t we find these tips easy?

New Book for Millennials interested in Sales

Did you ever think that you could learn about basic relationships in a book about selling?

Well believe it or not.  You can and it does teach! Jeffrey Gitomer gets the basics of relationship building.  In his book,  21.5 Unbreakable Laws of Selling, he knows exactly how to let you know the unbreakable laws for creating real and true relationships through knowing yourself and creating value.  While his rules are simple they are not always easy to deploy.  If you focus on the 3p’s, Personal, Professional and Physical growth you can have it all. Our millennial would be really well-advised to pick up this book and get a lesson in the real-life rules! Also, check out his book, The Little Red Book of Selling. Good reading!!!

Opportunity looks like hard work!!

The new mantra for millennials.   Don’t feel like a fraud.  Focus on yourself and make good with these lessons.   Opportunity looks a lot like hard work.  Work hard, pay your dues and dedicate yourself to taking the steps to where you need to get.  Being sexy is being smart.  Continue to learn each day and push yourself to be better.  Be thoughtful and generous.  The world is your oyster.  Push boundaries and work hard.  Build your own life, always be sexy and live your own life.    A lot like George Bernard Shaw’s advice who says “life in not about finding yourself it is about creating yourself.”  Millennials are most gifted to do this: it is who you are.   My advice at launchbox is what happens to you is because of you.  Have at it.
