Closing the sale—or even getting someone to commit to a decision—can feel like a challenge. 🤔 Why? Because many people resist closure. They hesitate to make decisions or encourage others to do so, especially when multiple options are available. But here’s the paradox: not closing actually limits choices in the long run. In this video, I’ll share a fresh approach to closing that ensures your team, clients, and candidates achieve the results they’re looking for. 🚀 Ready to transform how you think about closing?

For those of you who are beginning strategic planning, if you find your team struggling to make decisions ditch the old pro-con list and embrace the Pro-Pro List! 💡 🧠 Why? We’re naturally risk-averse, which means we tend to focus more on what could go wrong than what could go right. This bias can steer us away from making bold moves that lead to growth and innovation. 🎯 The Pro-Pro Approach: Instead of weighing pros against cons, list out only the positive outcomes for each option you're considering. This shifts your mindset from fear of loss to excitement about potential gains. It helps you see opportunities rather than just risks. 🔑 The Benefit? You get a clear vision of what you stand to gain, making you more open to possibilities and less focused on avoiding failure. Next time you’re stuck on a decision, give the Pro-Pro List a try. You might just uncover opportunities you never knew were there! 🚀

Before making any decision Think Thoroughly.

Don't miss this article-In the automotive world—and in life—there’s one universal truth: the results you get start and end with you. It’s not the market, the manufacturer, the inventory shortage, or the economy. It’s you. Your habits, your decisions, and your mindset shape the outcomes, whether you’re on the sales floor, leading a team, or looking at the life you want to build. Discipline, vision, and ownership are more than concepts—they’re tools that separate high performers from those who spend their lives blaming external circumstances. If you want to thrive in the most competitive arenas, here’s the formula for showing up, taking responsibility, and transforming adversity into your fuel. Discipline is the call you make even when you don’t feel like it. It’s the extra follow-up. It’s coming in early to prepare for the day, knowing that success doesn’t knock on the door—it’s built through consistent, small actions that compound over time. Finish On Substack.

5 cardinal sins to avoid when planning for 2025: 1. NOT doing a review of 2024. No review = no improvement. 2. NOT planning for 2025. Even if it's not perfect, any target is better than no target. 3. NOT breaking the goal down into quarters. 4. NOT sharing review or the plan with the team. 5. NOT believing in the plan. If you don't believe it your team won't either.

Am I the only one constantly wondering why focus is so elusive when the stakes are high? As founders, CEOs, and builders, we’re often pulled in ten directions, told to chase growth, “break things,” or stay one step ahead. But real momentum isn’t in the chaos - it’s in the discipline of simplifying, of knowing what to ignore and what to double down on. Not too long ago, I was chasing every possible win, convinced that a relentless pace would somehow translate into results. But deep down, we all know it’s never about adding more. It’s about narrowing the field until only the highest-value, highest-impact choices remain. Someone told me, “It’s not about the thousand things you’re willing to do; it’s about the 999 you’re willing to walk away from.” This journey to simplify is hard. SO HARD! You’ll doubt if you’re doing enough (like I was yesterday 🥲), if you’re moving fast enough. But it’s in this discipline where real leverage is found. What’s on your list of things that you know won’t get you where you need to go but still feels hard to let go of? Don’t tell me - but perhaps just be honest with yourself. 🙌

What is a decision? It's a tool to remove confusion! Are you confused? If so, then make the decision and let's move on!
