Sales Tips you'll learn today on The Sales Podcast...

Wisdom is easier to develop than generally assumed and can be accelerated. It has been taught for thousands of years, and literature is abundant.

Technology can make wisdom easily accessible to learn and apply in decision-making. A growth mechanism inside everyone awaits to assist and guide.

Routine unconscious practices performed consciously and intentionally accelerate wisdom. Adults can develop wisdom regardless of age, educational background, or social standing.

Little or no expense and nominal daily time are required. The pursuit of wisdom is personal and private, with no need to disclose to others or join anything.

All that is needed is a heartfelt, unwavering commitment to becoming your best while equally serving others.
