I am suppose to talk about motivation at our cluster meeting next week, anybody have some inspiring advise that I can give? I will be talking about 5 to 10 minutes.
 
What got you here, won't get you there. By learning and adapting, you increase your chances of increased success.
 
Maybe something on goals? We all have different goals for our businesses, but if we write them down and make a plan, we can achieve them!
 
When HO came to our director's meeting for a training, she based the training on a book I think was entitiled Success Principle. it had lots and lots of inspirational sales techniques. Try an idea or two from there!
