How to Sell a Million

          How does/can someone go from being the average person at a basic production level to someone that sells a million? Please don’t think of a million as just money. Think of it as an amazing relationship with your kids and spouse. Think of it as your health is the best it has ever been. The term million seems like an elusive term to the masses, and most of us will never earn a million dollars, but if we live until we are 80 years old we will have earned 2,524,556,160 seconds. The question is what will you have earned with all those seconds? Can I suggest a life…? Not a career or just kids, but a life that was lived to the full! There are three things that we can do practically to sell/earn a “million” in life. Those things are; connect with people, influence others, and NEVER GIVE UP! These are a just a few things, and as we all know life consists of so much more. But, if we can do these three things consistently then we can Sell a million in all areas of life!

              First, connect with people! People are so valuable! Connect with your spouse, kids, grandkids, cousins, aunts/uncles, neighbors, groceries baggers! Listen to them! The great Zig Ziglar once said, “You can have everything in this life you want if you help enough people obtain what they want.” So, that all starts with a connection that turns into a relationship which then turns into a community, Your community! Your community can be as big or as small as you choose. I encourage you! Go ahead and have a large community! Connect with as many people that you can because you will find the more connections you make the more LIFE becomes purpose driven.

              After we connect with people, let's influence them. Influence them towards something bigger and great! Help them see the oak tree that they can become! Once they can see potential in themselves and gain some self-confidence they will build some moment. Once this happens hopefully they are off to the races. That is an extreme scenario where you are involved with someone on a more in-depth level. But you would be amazed at what a smile can me to someone. An enthusiastic hello, can really jump start someone’s day. All the while you are selling a million and may not even realize it! This also helps keep you in your mind! Selfishness is a huge part as to why so many people get stuck and never make connections with people that are worthwhile. You have gifts, talents, and abilities. If you are not connecting with people then they may never get what they needed that you had to offer the whole time.

              Lastly, never give up! When everything in the world is screaming you can’t do it. When your bank account looks like a piggy bank when your feelings are telling you that you are a loser and can’t overcome. DO IT ANYWAY! You suck it up and push forward with your knees knocking, stomach turning, and head spinning! YOU DO IT ANYWAY! If you will never give up and continue to make progress and doors are opening push on! Don’t forget, take your community with you! Set an example of perseverance that you can then use to connect with people and influence them toward a life that they deserve and that is worth living. And that, is how you sell a million!
