To win in war and sports we must appear to be strong where we are weak, and weak where we are strong to trick the opponent into doing what we want them to do.

The convenient thing about war and sports is that you know who the enemy is. You can study them. You can spy on them. You can watch satellite and DVDs on them. You can prepare to win.

When you are in business for yourself, you are your own worst enemy.

The Devil sneaks in and fills your head with self-doubt.

Your neighbors and high school buddies secretly hope you won't succeed so they won't lose their bowling buddy or feel inadequate because they did not succeed like you did.

Your clients don't really care if you succeed as long as you provide quality service, support and products and answer their emails within 30 seconds and pick up the phone on the first ring.

It's easy to get stuck when so much is pounding you into the ground and the "obvious" problems envelope you.

To get unstuck and on target today you must seek to give your current problems to someone else to handle while you find newer, bigger unsolved problems to solve for the marketplace or you redefine your current problems so you can approach the solving of it in a ***"more better"*** manner.

You do that by asking new questions.

You ask new questions by having the guts to surround yourself with new people, even if it means you pay them to join their circle and have them pound some sense into you with new, better, tougher, more honest questions.

Or just **[contact me](https://www.thesaleswhisperer.com/meetings/wes15)** and we'll set a time to speak.

 Market like you mean it. Now go sell something.
