WORDS TO LIVE BY AND MOTIVATE WITH HARRY P HOOPIS
Agents will ask three things of their manager: 1] Can I trust you? 2] Do you really care about me as a person? 3] Are you the one who can lead me toward a successful business career?
NEVER TELL A MAN TO GO TO HELL, BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL HE WON’T GO THERE SECONDLY, HE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU TOLD HIM TO GO THERE!
EVERY TIME YOU HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH SOMEONE YOU EITHER KNOCK THEM DOWN A LITTLE PSYCHOLOGICALLY OR LIFT THEM UP ALWAYS CONCENTRATE ON BEING AN UPLFTING PERSON
DON’T TRY TO TEACH A PIG TO SING, BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL HE WON’T DO IT SECONDLY, YOU ONLY ANNOY THE PIG!
MOST LOW PERFORMING SALES PEOPLE SPEND MORE TIME PLANNING THEIR VACATIONS THAN PLANNING THAN CAREERS
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE HABITS OF DOING THE THINGS UNSUCCESSFUL PEOPLE WON’T DO!
IT IS EASIER TO ADJUST TO THE HARDSHIP OF MAKING A POOR LIVING THAN IT IS TO ADJUST TO THE HARDSHIP OF MAKING A BETTER ONE
WHO’S GOOD AT WHAT AROUND HERE?
THREE KEYS TO SUCCESS 1] Not afraid to dream a dream 2] Not afraid to take a chance 3] Not afraid to be wrong
ANY THING YOU VIVIDLY IMAGINE, ARDENTLY DESIRE, AND EARNESTLY WORK TOWARD WILL EVENTUALLY COME TO PASS.
SUCCESS DOESN’T COME TO YOU… YOU GO TO IT!
YOU WILL NEVER HAVE IT “ALL TOGETHER” THAT’S LIKE TRYING TO EAT ONCE AND FOR ALL
YOU MUST GIVE UP THE WAY IT IS… TO HAVE IT THE WAY YOU WANT IT
GOOD LEADERS ARE SCARCE, SO I’M FOLLOWING MYSELF
OPEN UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
