Forget your resolution to lose 5 pounds. The good news is that fat people don’t have a greater incidence of dying than thin people. (Today’s Wall Street Journal) Instead of passing on the cookies, why not resolve to collaborate more this year? All the greats you read about from Steve Jobs to Bill Gates had a collaborator who helped them become successful. Jobs had Steve Wozniak. Bill Gates had Paul Allen. Find your collaborator, whether it’s a mentor or another sales professional you respect. Then resolve this year to become less of a lone ranger. I predict that you’ll sell more when you do.
