Being Financially Fit Is Only Part of the Equation to Increase Sales
One of my clients and colleagues, Rick Gosser of Gosser Corporate Sales recently shared one of my postings on how to increase sales by dressing for success with his list. Rick also let me know he has shed a significant amount of weight, 100 plus pounds.
Rick made an observation about Undercover Boss and how the CEO of Choice Hotels could not keep up with his employees. His insightful comment was "He has success, maybe even more if he paid attention to himself."
He is so right. How often do we in management whether we are small business owners, sales professionals or even C Suite executives become so entangled in the day to day grind, we forget to take care of our own minds and bodies?
Recently, I have engaged a nutritionist, Jodi Barnett of Harvested Health to help me with improving my physical health. Then I downloaded the Spark People App for my blackberry allowing me to track both input calories and output energy. I think my next step will be Yoga because I need to stretch my muscles.
As authentic leaders, working on our own minds and bodies is just as important as working on our businesses. Balance is required to ensure proper alignment between our professional and personals worlds.
Some say that 60 is the new 40. Due to better nutrition, increased health awareness and the evolving use of technology, human beings are living longer. Unfortunately, many including those in the business world are not taking care of their own health and this is a potential leadership disaster waiting to happen. If you think this is not true, just pick up the paper and read about obesity or just observe those around you.
Today, professionals who are really authentic leaders need to go beyond being business financially fit. They must get out of their comfort zones, leave the status quo and become physically, mentally, socially, and ethically fit as well. By taking these actions, they will have the energy to increase sales not to mention to truly enjoy their families and friends.

Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional
- Hi Evan,
I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing
