My latest book, Heavy Hitter Sales Wisdom, is based upon the study of prominent Heavy Hitters throughout the ages. The Heavy Hitters I write about are people of great influence who had a tremendous impact on our world. Since learning by example is the most effective way to learn, it is important to study role models that provide the best examples of strategy, persuasion, and common sense. With this in mind, here are some of my favorite quotes in Heavy Hitter Sales Wisdom from Sun Tzu, Napoleon Bonaparte, George Patton, Buddha, Jesus Christ, and Ronald Reagan to start the NewYear!
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.” Napoleon Bonaparte
“He who exercises no forethought but makes light of his opponents is sure to be captured by them.” Sun Tzu
“Battles are won by frightening the enemy.” General George Patton
“Rely on yourself. Do not depend upon anyone else.” Buddha
“Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." Ronald Reagan
“Knowledge of the enemy’s position can only be obtained from other men. Hence, the use of spies.” Sun Tzu
“It is easy to shield the outer body from poisoned arrows, but it is impossible to shield the mind from the poisoned darts that originate within oneself.” Buddha
“To fight and conquer all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.” Sun Tzu
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.” General George Patton
"There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear." Napoleon Bonaparte
“My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.” Ronald Reagan
“If a village won’t welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust from your feet as you leave.” Jesus Christ.
