In 1914 the following ad appeared in the London Times:
***
MEN WANTED for hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success. — Ernest Shackleton 4 Burlington st.
***
When I read this ad for the first time, it reminded me of my first year in boat sales:
Many months of doubt.
Months of fear.
Darkness.
And small wages.
Fortunately, I was able to endure those months of suffering after selling my first million dollar yacht.
A decade has passed since this hardship…
Yet as I reflect on my “hazardous journey,” I recall that the most difficult part of my journey was dealing with other brokers who didn’t have the same positive mindset as I had.
Let me explain:
I noticed how many brokers attempt to manipulate clients to work with them. For the bad broker, there is always a reason to push, sneak, or not respect your engagement.
I wonder: why is it so difficult for boat & yacht sales professionals to work in a positive environment? After all, we are all fighting for a limited number of customers and for a limited number of boats & yachts available.
Here’s what you must realize:
This industry is one of those industries where 10% are responsible for 90% of the sales. So you have 90% of the guys that are desperate because they cannot make a decent living out of it.
It’s time to change the game.
If you don’t have what it takes you won’t last.
If you can’t make a living honestly without stabbing another colleague broker in the back, maybe it’s a sign that this business is not for you.
Look: you can focus on beating others or you can focus on improving yourself.
If you decided to focus on improving yourself, I have an opportunity for you:
