Jonathan Keese Speaks on Self-Esteem

Anger lowers our self-esteem and the self-esteem of others.!

"He that is soon angry deals foolishly." Have you ever done anything that has made you or those around you fell foolish? A quick-tempered person acts foolishly because anger distorts his or her vision and perspective. It can distort our view of situations and our ability to see a person's words or actions in true perspective. Consequently, we overreact rather than effectively respond to the reality of a situation.

Jonathan Keese (Tooth Aches)

You will never stub your toe by standing still. The faster you go, the more chances there are of you stubbing your toe, and the more chances you have of getting somewhere!

There are going to be days when your tooth aches, your car won't start, and your last sales call was a disaster. You'll need a shot in the arm, a pat on the back, or a kick in the pants. One of the following thoughts may be just what you need in order to make the next career move and the best situation for your family.

1. Success is a choice.- Rick Pintino

2. Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well.- Warren Lester

3. I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement of associates; it takes place every date you just can't hear them.- Jonathan Keese

4. If you're not fired up with enthusiasm, you'll be fired with enthusiasm. -Vince Lombardi

5. There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.- Douglas MacArthur

6. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure who chooses to no longer mature in life. -Jonathan Keese

Jonathan Keese (There Are No Secrets Regarding Business Success)

Speaker, Trainer, and Authors love to tell you that there are secrets to being more successful, selling more or being rich, they will convince you that only they possess those secrets. If you will give them your money, they will share those secrets with you. What a rip-off. Those people should be ashamed. (Not ashamed for trying to see you their ideas, because we all have the right to do that. I am selling you my ideas right now, so I have no problem with selling ideas.) They should be ashamed for saying there are secrets to being more successful. There are secrets to be more successful. There are no secrets. There is no new information.

Here are some of the main keys to be more successful:

Take personal responsibility
Things change, so be flexible
Work smart and work hard
Serve other well
Be nice to others
Be optimistic
Have goals; want something big for yourself
Stay focused
Keep learning
Become excellent at application
Trust your gut feelings (be honest with yourself)
When in doubt, take action don’t stand still
Earn all you can
Save all you can
Give all you can
Enjoy all God gives you
Above All: Pray and keep it simple!

This one simple equation works in every area of business

● Business gets better right after the people in the business gets better

● Sales get better right after sale people get better.

● Customer service gets better right after the people who deliver the customer service gets better.

● Employees get better right after their manager gets better

● Everything in your life gets better when you get better and noting is ever going to get better until you get better

See how simple that it is?
