And the fucking test I had to pay for, the “diagnostic” as they called it, came up with NO-THING. But I still had to pay. In home office, one espresso, a double, down. May have another… keep this writer in the chair, don’t move I say to myself. Working on speech/short essay for Thursday. Trying…

19:46 Back from dinner with Nurse and two of her friends, both Nurses. Me, waking early tomorrow. And running. Testing SELF. Just what I need. Realization. At the table with a stainless Chard, thoughtful and calm and wanting to share ideas. No vein intention, just to read. In fact, NO— No “speaking” engagements. I don’t…
Writing a manuscript on focus, now. On discipline…. Here in the loft of the Vacaville home, listening to airplanes pass, and this LoFi.
Blend of music and world, forming a new music and Beatific terrain. The focus now, after some drawing board activity – SALES ENABLEMENT. Not in any trite or overused or over-misused way. There is something here…. Yesterday in the office, listening to other colleagues and their ideas. How this is more than an internet company,…
Tomorrow, I’m writing a full manuscript. 5 pages… notes and ideas, some sketches, or just blended ideas
and approaches for any sales team, yes, but as well as a #dowhatyoulove statement. A friend told me years ago, when I was thinking about switching departments, that, for her, “It doesn’t stop at sales….” Meaning, you need to see the Heights Highway from a higher altitude. (Still using ‘Sales Heights Highway, even thought the…

Sitting in this booth that I often write in. This Monday, I felt no self-doubt, no second-guessing of SELF. Why? A simple decision. That’s honestly it. And, more awareness and sight and understanding of what this day’s Mike Madigan brings with it. Coffee and composition, taking a new Rep (Inside Sales) out to lunch, Texanita…
Monday Meaning
Everything speaking and all conversation continue in purpose worded.
Time flying. Me working quick this morning, everything for the book, for the writing and lectures or talks or whatever words I’ll put before whatever crowds.
Sending out report cards, thinking of each student and their Story. Sales background, adding to my Field Notes project and list. Much of what I’m noting for Reps comes from mind, attitude, and yes it finds its way to these work pages from personal experience, but all for purposes of helping. Or at least calming….

Bottledaux Agency #SOMEREALPROFTOK #NURSEANDPROFESSORVIBEZ Inward MuZen ….. 113/3-6-5 Listening ideas and projects. Drive over this morning, like a class. Pronounced and prominent meditation that I can’t shake and have no interest in its separation. At the desk… I feel the day speaking to me, intently and with a sharp loving fervor. Always moving forward, even…
Day 112 of 365
Something on my IG feed. And this Content Storm campaign, closing the end of its first month. There has been a beneficial movement in this first 30 days, but now toward the 60 day check-in and audit I’ll conduct with myself, there is time to demonstrate the actual shop. Arranging… categories…. Mental Health Wellness Running…

Students today…. Class starting at 09:00 as always, and today I stress something different. Well, maybe not different but more than in other classes. Awareness. Of SELF, of your technique, of your understanding of whatever you’re representing… how you incorporate your story into that language. It’s clear that sales as an idea and profession is…
Conviction is movement.
Not loud declarations, not perfect scripts, but forward motion backed by belief. When you believe in the value you deliver, hesitation dissolves and conversations collect. Tools matter—CRM handling, call structure, discovery techniques—but they are amplifiers, not substitutes. A weak mindset with strong tools still stalls. A strong mindset with simple tools still wins. Our methodology…
And like that, we’re in mid-April.
Report cards for last week’s cohort sent out. Meeting this week, well.. tomorrow, 09:00 and then one right after that, a QBR of sorts. The idea of education, learning, coupled with yesterday’s grip of gratitude while de-cluttering and cleaning the garage, throwing away whatever I haven’t touched in a couple years, or more…. Grateful for…
