Heroism And The Four Bears

Blog, General, InfluenceBy Bob Burg July 28, 2012 6 Comments

My Facebook friend, Amanda Maynard posted a heart-warming video of a New Mexico husband and wife rescuing three bear cubs out of a trash bin. A grateful Mama Bear breathed a great sigh of relief and went off without so much as a thank you. 🙂 Of course, receiving a thank you wasn’t the point.…

Do You Begin With Agreement Or Disagreement In Mind?

Blog, General, InfluenceBy Bob Burg July 13, 2012 25 Comments

It’s easy to spot on Social Media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, though it’s just as prevalent offline, as well: the inclination some have to find a reason — no, really more like an opportunity — to disagree. Online, it typically goes like this (example made up but based on actual ones): 1. Someone…

Life Lessons from a Cat

Blog, GeneralBy Bob Burg July 10, 2012 26 Comments

Three major lessons I’ve learned from Liberty The Stray Cat: 1. Feel free to sleep anywhere, at any time and in any position. Doesn’t matter what you were doing just a second go. Feel free to immediately launch into sleep mode. 2. Clean yourself constantly. 3. Have fun chasing after lizards and then — after…

Very grateful for all your feedback from our previous post where we looked at a gem of wisdom shared years ago that has made a significant difference in my life. Many of you learned that same lesson from the same man and shared great lessons from others that have benefited you. Let’s look at another…

One of Those Huge Life Difference-Makers

Blog, GeneralBy Bob Burg June 25, 2012 49 Comments

There are certain wise teachings, learned over the years, that have stayed with me and added significantly to my life. They’ve also provided me with hope and strength when most needed. Just one example is Jim Rohn’s (1930-2009) famous, “They just do” and his follow-up phrase, “it’s one of the mysteries of life.” This comes…

Damaged Hot Dog Buns and Other First World Tragedies

Blog, GeneralBy Bob Burg June 18, 2012 64 Comments

The bottom of my hot dog bun is splitting open. #FirstWorldProblems I thought that was brilliant when I first saw it on Twitter, and still think it is. I also thought it was something new. Wrong about that one. Apparently, the concept of First World Problems has been around for a while. And, as usual, I…

Gossip is Costly, Literally!

Blog, General, Influence, SuccessBy Bob Burg June 4, 2012 16 Comments

In discussing the topic of Gossip we often speak in terms of spiritual reasons why one would want to refrain from the activity of speaking it, listening to it, or in any way being around it. And, yet, as we all know, every spiritual principle has with it a physical equivalent and manifestation. In the…

One of my valued mentors, Rabbi Zelig Pliskin of Jerusalem, points out in his book, The Power of Words that typically, when it comes to grammar, most of us make it a point to do our best to speak correctly. He writes: “You violate no ‘laws’ by violating the laws of grammar, nevertheless you are…

Or Do They Only Think That Is Their Reason?

Blog, Endless Referrals, GeneralBy Bob Burg May 29, 2012 25 Comments

Last post we discussed why — in most situations — everyone loses when selling on low price alone. The suggestion is to sell on value, not on price. I received a question: “What percentage of buyers do you think buy on price?” While I don’t have any figures, I’m not sure the question itself is…

Why Selling On Low Price Is A Losing Proposition for All

Blog, Endless Referrals, GeneralBy Bob Burg May 25, 2012 21 Comments

Recently, I tweeted the following: “Competing on price alone is a race to the bottom, and it’s a race nobody wins.” Why do I say nobody wins? First, please allow a slight correction: there are huge super-store type places whose entire Value Proposition is indeed that they have the lowest prices. They do very well.…
