The Go-Giver Tour: Chillaxing at the Terminal! Journal 5

// April 27th, 2009 // View Comments // Uncategorized

These are notes I’ve gone over for this particular video:
Dr. Tom Barret:

• People “thin slice” you (like in the book “Blink”) which means they can analyze you within a few minutes and won’t want to do business w/ you if they don’t like what they see.

• Because of this you have to think about these three things that they/we are looking for: 1) Do you care about me? 2) Do I trust you? and 3) Do you have anything to say?

• Ultimately Tom believe you should have a strong focus on your company’s vision so that you can instill it into your team who will because of this vision work and believe in what they do. This will come across to your customers as a QUALITY company.

(that’s all I’ve deciphered from my notes so far! Check back for more later!)

Essentially:
Amazing week, incredibly humble, tired, and excited. I’ve got a whole bunch of notes to go over. I’m considering taking the rest of this week off to get my life figured out from this point and to determine how to apply what I’ve learned most effectively so I can start fresh and all-out on Monday. We’ll see how I feel on Wednesday after I’ve had a break from doing anything.

Hope you’re all well!

GGT Journal 4: Extreme Business Makeover

// April 24th, 2009 // View Comments // Uncategorized

Had a really fantastic day, it was the first day of the Extreme Business Makeover; we’re settled in at our two story house and had some time to chill in the hot tub today to wind down a bit. What we’ve been trying to do today that has been different from the other days is making sure that we talked about what we learned today, which is going to help me to summarize the notes I took for today

Hope everyone is doing great!

GGT Journal 3: April 22, 2009; St. Louis and Nashville

// April 22nd, 2009 // View Comments // Uncategorized

Hey everyone, hope those of you who were at gogivertour.com enjoyed the stream, I’m sitting in a dark Ford Flex right now as we make our way towards our hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Unfortunately because of this my camera can’t get enough light for a decent recording so I’m waiting on posting my vlog until we stop somewhere long enough to get this recorded. However these Verizon wireless USB modems work great now, So I do have access to the internet as we drive. But as I said, I’ll update this when we stop with some notes from the day, people I met, and a Vlog (which by the way is a video blog or log) of the day!

It was great to meet everyone today and I hope you all have had a great one thus far!

Mike
