"It's owning it. It's taking that at some point in time and owning it." "When you make the choice, just go. Don't let it sit there, don't let it wait." "If you have lost control of your calendar, if your calendar is something that is pinging at you and you're not paying attention anymore…that is the person that you want to be, but you're choosing not to show up as it every single day."

We're always striving to be better."   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding   Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study Ninja Mastery Ninja Selling by Larry Kendall
