“The largest value that I have found in working with Tim is getting a non-judgmental second opinion on things.  As a business owner, it’s difficult to find people to bounce ideas off of, vent, strategize and brainstorm without them passing judgment, viewing it as weakness, or having a bias in their advice.  With Tim, I’ve found comfort in sharing ideas without concern that someone else will “steal them” or that he is giving me advice because it is to his best interest financially to do so.   I appreciate our time weekly as a safe environment to voice my concerns, gain new perspective and strategize for the road ahead and recommend anyone looking for similar assistance to interview Tim and Smart Sales Solutions.” -Clark Fisher, Farmers Insurance, Palo Alto, CA  His website:  http://www.farmersagent.com/cfis

See Tim’s Bio – Our number one priority is to bring the right people into our organizations.  These men and women must have GDD; Guts, Discipline and Determination. 

 

• Guts = The entrepreneurial spirit to start a business when everyone around them is saying STOP.
• Discipline = Being willing to follow a proven plan without being distracted.
• Determination = Doing whatever it takes to succeed all the time. This is a 5 year process.

Great questions for each of us:

• Do your products do what you say they will do?
• Do you believe in your business?
• Do you do what you say you do?

How do you get where you want to go?

One step at a time in the right direction and you:

• Must be focused on the end, and not on wrong track.
• Put the blinders on and don’t deviate.
• Sweat the small stuff – get your desk in order, have the right tools, know your intent.
