Two salespeople representing two different companies in the same field travel to establish whether there are opportunities to open up and expand into a new market.
Let’s assume for the sake of this example that the new region the companies are looking to expand into is Africa, and the industry be-ing the manufacturing and distri-bution of sandals (if you are not in the industry it’s ok, the lesson you will learn applies to everyone, What Ever You’re Into).
So these two salespeople make their way to Africa and, within a few days, get on the phone and speak to their respective Senior Management Teams and CEOs. The first salesperson turns around and says, ‘Well, I have been look-ing around and frankly speaking I don’t see any opportunities here. I think we should stick to what we are doing or look elsewhere. Let’s not be too worried about this mar-ket’.
The CEO might say, ‘why not?’
The salesperson turns around and with
absolute disappointment utters (long
sigh for dramatic effect), ‘It’s pointless.
No-one here wears sandals or shoes’.
As a result there are apparently no op-
portunities for this company in this
region. The other salesperson makes a
similar call to update his management
team and CEO of his findings. He says,
‘Prepare the manufacturing plant to up
production. I need you to make things
happen and have a container packed
with sandals sent to me right away.’
Hearing the enthusiasm and excite-
ment in the salesperson’s voice, the
management and CEO can’t help but
ask, ‘What’s with the excitement? What
makes you think there is a market for
the sandals?’
The salesperson, bursting at the seam
with energy, turns around and says,
‘You have no idea how beautiful this
market is. It is absolutely untouched.
No-one here wears sandals or shoes.
With research, a lot of hard work and
persistence, it is ours for the taking.
We will have first movers advantage
and dominate the marketplace.’ Same
industry. Same environment. Same
market. Two different salespeople. Two
different results; for the individuals and
ultimately for the respective companies
themselves. What is the difference that
dictates whether one salesperson’s ca-
reer flourishes, while another’s floun-
ders. Taking it one step further and on
a larger scale, what is the difference that
makes a company steam ahead, or be-
come just another failing statistic?
Before I answer this, allow me to ask you
a very quick and simple question that I
regularly pose to attendees of my talks
to illustrate my point. The Questions is,
‘What Do We See With?’
The most common and quickest answer
I get is, ‘I see with my eyes’.
Yet, I will suggest that what we see with
is not our eyes. We see through our eyes.
You don’t see with your eyes. Your eyes
are like a camera that captures a picture.

A picture on its own has no meaning.
You are bombarded with information
to take in every second of every wak-
ing moment. It is the interpretation
you give the picture that brings life and
meaning to it. This interpretation is
done with your mind. You, my friend,
see with your mind. In life and in busi-
ness, you will come across events that
will affect your results. On a day to day
basis, you will be tested and placed in
positions where the difference between
seeing an opportunity or a challenge
will come down to the quality of your
mind. So going back to the question,
what is the difference that will deter-
mine whether an individual (our two
salespeople and their respective com-
panies) will flourish or flounder? It
comes down to the premise of many of
my talks and trainings; once grasped,
you will realize that moving forward
is simple, powerful and crucial - The
Quality of Your Results is a Direct Re-
flection of the Quality of your Mind.
We live in a world of rapid change. You
can have the best systems in place. You

could have spent big money on your
marketing, advertising, IT infrastruc-
ture, distribution, product or service.
Truth be told, they can all be copied in
a matter of months if not weeks, and
today, you can be quickly outdone and
outdated. As an individual, the quality
of your results in life is a direct reflec-
tion of the quality of your mind. As a
company or group, the quality of your
results is a direct reflection of the qual-
ity of your collective minds in your
group. 2011 can be seen as another year
where you continue to complain that
opportunities are NOWHERE to be
found. 2011 can be another year where
your people can say that it’s IMPOS-
SIBLE to hit their targets. 2011 can be
a year filled with REJECTIONS and the
much dreaded shaking of the head. The
alternative would be to do what win-
ners do and take control. You can make
2011 the year to ensure that as a leader
you are continually striving to Attain a
Winning Mind, and equally important,
invest in providing the mind nutrition
for your teams to do the same.
Raising your results will be a direct re-
flection of having raised the quality of
the collective minds in your group. For
those of you who do, you will be able to
turn those cries that opportunities are
“NOWHERE” to being “NOW HERE”.
Those who invest in nourishing their
minds will be able to see past the over-
used word “impossible” to see “I’m pos-
sible”. Only when you Attain a Winning
Mind will you realize that with every
“No”, comes your edge over your com-
petition to realize that it’s “On”.
The only sustained edge any individual
or organization can possess today is the
quality of their mind.- The Edge of At-
taining A Winning Mind. Your individ-
ual and company’s edge will come from
the ability to interpret any given infor-
mation/situation in a winning light to
take advantage, achieve and more so,
surpass yours goals.
What are your results like today?
What does that say about the quality of
your mind? and that of your collective
minds in your group?
How will 2011 be different for you mov-
ing forward?
I would love to hear from you and look
forward to your questions, your experi-
ences and your breakthroughs.
Until we meet in person, Get Inspired,
Get Informed and Get Going!!!
