Bernie's Batteries!

My Job Here Is Done - Career Success Podcast

Ummm, Say what? This is the one about how one guy got 5000 people to think small and win big selling things!

Years ago, I crashed and burned. I had a failed business venture that broke me both in spirit and financially. I was without a job and, for the most part, always worked for myself up until then. I had nothing to go for, no great ideas, no job, and a family to support.

So what do you do in that case? For me, it was getting out there and getting any bleeping job I could find - fast - to get back on my feet. I landed at Radio Shack as an entry-level sales associate with no retail experience at all.

I was just thankful to get a job, but it was a hit to my ego at the time. I thought I was tumbling backward instead of having career success forward motion. Boy, was I wrong!

I learned so many things about business, people, selling, and marketing there. Not only did it help me get back on my feet fast, but I also made a lot of great friends and had a ton of fun. It's where I developed my 1 Percent rule, which is my way of thinking about making significant changes easier to manage and achieve. I owe the basis and idea of that rule to an exceptional leader and great person, Bernie Appel (RIP), and his way of winning big with small change.

In this episode, Kelli and I dissect a funny-sounding but effective ploy that anyone can use to help with their career success. Please enjoy!
