I try to approach each day with a sense of anticipation. Some days are easier than others. It is Sunday evening here in Sydney and I am beavering away on my computer. I’ve just done a rewrite and edit on a chapter of my novel, I will do a poem for my other site, ollielind.com (I write poetry and make comment on newsworthy item by by writing a poem about it.) I am looking at Dafur this week. What a dismal and difficult subject. But I digress.
This next five days I am running a boot camp for new salespeople. This I am really looking forward to. I have a couple of people from Queensland and some Sydney people attending here in Sydney. They are young, bright eyed and full of hope and anticipation for the careers they are about to embark upon.
Why am I looking forward to five gruelling days of a boot camp where they will stumble, fall, make mistakes and go through more confusion than they have ever experienced? There are many reasons, but the most pressing one is that I know that, at the end of the week, thay will be certain of what they know, they will appreciate that they are now at the start of a brilliant new adventure and that their future is limited only by their own considerations.
What will I get out of it? I believe my Dharma, or purpose, in life is to assist people to become greater than they believe possible. I know they will all progress down the road to understanding. Some will travel further than others, but they will all be better for the experience. Sometimes people have come to the realization that Sales is not their path. Better they discover that at the beginning than after perhaps years of frustration and disappointment.
I am pleased to say that almost all who have been through one of my boot camps has gone on to success in sales. More importantly, they have become more capable of handling the human experience; connection with others. Another reason I am excited at the prospect of this boot camp is that I will learn a great deal from these students. I will learn about them personally, I will see them try and succeed at the skills they are learning and I will know that they have become effective learners due to the Philosophy of Learning I teach to all my students.
Don’t you find it ironic that the most important and fundamental skill of all is not formally taught? I refer to the skill of learning. People I train are always exposed the Socratic principles that give them the tools of inquiry and the pathway to understanding.
So, I really have a heightened sense of anticipation about tomorrow and the coming days. I commend you to try and cultivate a sense of delicious anticipation for each day you occupy on this beautiful planet of ours.
Live well,
Ollie Lind
