He draws on ancient wisdom to make many of his points and one paragraph really struck me as it relates to our For Impact teachings and philosophies:
“I can’t speak for Aeschylus, Epictetus or Aristotle. But I am convinced of this: they would have hated having their wisdom confined to classrooms and textbooks. This is wisdom about how to live. And it’s your property as much as anyone’s. Take it. Use it.”
We are having our fourth and final Boot Camp of the year at Eagle Creek today. Nick kicked the session off with a great quote from the book. (Nick quoting Eric quoting Greek Philosophers about the importance of Practice.)
That big reminder that we give at camp? Your Sales Practice will never, ever, ever be perfect. And sometimes it will be hard. But you must get out the door and do it. Live it. You are capable of resilience.
Use visits (and asks) as a way to understand, to connect, to process many of the important things you already know.
Note: Read more thoughts from Tom on Practice.
