Episode #518: It’s a Relief Party

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan begin the planning process for 2019, but they start in a completely different way than you’re used to.

The first step in preparation of next year is to take inventory of the beliefs that we might have in sales that hold us back. Then the next step is to begin to release those beliefs and in their place, insert beliefs that are more conducive to higher achievement.

What Story Are You Telling Yourself?

In this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill deals with a problem that we ALL have, but most likely don’t know they have. The problem is the stories that run in our mind.
