Action is the foundational key to all success - Pablo PicassoFear is a powerful emotion. It can compel us to take action and it can stop us from moving forward. In this week's Monday Mindset, Luigi talks about the circle of control, and focusing on what sits within his control instead of letting outside influences stop him from taking action. Taking action can be a challenge especially when fear creeps in. But the impact of taking action and breaking through that barrier can be the best feeling in the world. Make this week the week of action #bethebestyoucanbeConnect with Luigi**About This Podcast**How To Sell is a podcast dedicated to helping listeners master the art of sales and prospecting, offering valuable insights on B2B sales, revenue optimization, and B2B marketing strategies, all while providing expert guidance on sales coaching, customer engagement, and B2B leadership to maximize your revenue potential in the dynamic world of sales and marketing.

The global pandemic has changed the way we interact with prospects and customers. What we learned through the pandemic is how important human connection is. Technology is playing a more significant role in our lives and being connected and engaged in the community is more important than ever before. This week, Luigi is joined by Jared Robin, Co-Founder of RevGenius, a community that has grown to be one of the largest sales professional communities. Jared discusses why every sales professional needs to build a community and why selling is more than just a transaction.

"There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs." - Zig ZiglarForming habits can be the best and worst thing in the world, and trying to break bad habits can be very challenging. So why are we focusing on our habits? Focusing on the activities we do?Instead of focusing on your habits and the activities you need to do each day, try focusing on who you are...the values that sit within, and watch as your habits start to reflect the inner you and how they align to your core. See how much easier it is to make good new habits...and break the bad habits.During this episode, Luigi talks about creating an environment that works for you and the stage of life you are in.

Sometimes we end up having negative thoughts...sometimes, regardless of how much effort we put in, we don't meet the outcomes we work so hard trying to achieve.

Sometimes in order to do more, we must do less. The Pareto Principle specifies that 80% of results come from 20% of the activities. So sometimes the best way to get more done is simply saying NO and reducing the amount of tasks you do each day. During this episode, Luigi talks about the Power of Focus and why being focused on less, actually helps you deliver more. So next time you find yourself 'busy', stop and ask yourself, 'Am I being busy or am I being productive?'.
