7 Things that make me curious: What would you add?

Updated August 2017

By Jim Connolly | June 19, 2011

Is it just me or do you find it curious…

  1. When a company will work hard to make a disgruntled customer happy, yet fail to ensure their customers are extremely well looked after all the time?
  2. When people think the price of their TV set is what it cost them to buy it; rather than what it’s costing them to waste their evenings watching it?  (No one ever looks back on their life from their death bed, wishing they had wasted even more time watching TV.)
  3. That some people think they can become a leader, by acting like a sheep?
  4. When someone’s social media profile proclaims that they are a specialist  – In 10 different topics?
  5. That 2 people can read the same great book: 1 of them uses the information to improve their life, the other finds the same information “interesting” and does nothing with it?
  6. That people will waste years looking for shortcuts to success, when they could have got there twice over, if they had focused on simply doing the right things, correctly?
  7. When you see a marketing consultant at a networking group, hoping someone will throw them a sales lead, because the marketing consultant’s own marketing is not generating the inquiries they need?

IMPORTANT: If you want to make more sales, boost your profits and grow an amazing business, this will help you!
