Steve Ferrante's High Performance Blog for Sales/Customer Service/Leadership Champs and Progressive Professionals!

Good Day Folks,

As confessed on my Pinnacle Performance Rides page, and those in the know know, I’m a UGE ‘car guy’ enthusiast with a passion for all things automotive, especially high-performance… Musclecars, Supercars, Hot Rods, Custom Motorcycles, anything with wheels that goes Zoom and looks great doing it!

I mean come on.. who can resist the epic sweetness of this:

1967 Ford Mustang Pro-Touring 2

or this..

2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

don’t even get me started with…

1930 Ford Hot Rod

Specializing in the automotive industry as a trainer, speaker, writer and consultant I’ve been fortunate to attend industry events all over No. America with like-minded auto enthusiasts,  with the spectacular SEMA Show being my personal favorite hands down!

So then yesterday rolled around and, recreationally-speaking, it was a BIG day as I was notified by my Stats page on Flickr (shown below) that My Photostream of car pics has now exceeded 1 Million views!

That’s Amazingly Awesome and, because auto enthusiasts are apparently really good at sharing, these pics have also become some of the most popular car pics on Pinterest as well > Pinnacle Performance Rides on Pinterest

So Pinnacle Performance is alive and well in the auto enthusiast world!

And, for that, I THANK YOU!

Steve 🙂

To achieve success, the drive to succeed (ambition) is essential. The adverse of Jack Nicklaus’s popular quote below could be; Failure is largely the result of complacency and being content with one’s current level of performance.

So the question is… How will you raise your game today?

Two out of three of these things are a certainty. One is up to you and makes all the difference.

Good Day Folks,

Did you see Matthew McConaughey’s snazzy acceptance speech for best leading actor (Dallas Buyers Club) at the Oscars on Sunday night? A well deserved win for a truly talented actor and, in that speech, he referenced something that’s been a very popular Pinnacle Performance topic of mine for many years now, gratitude.

In short, he spoke about how being thankful and appreciative has a reciprocal effect that attracts greater success.  Here’s the full scoop along with Matthew’s post-Oscar interview from ABC News >  How Matthew McConaughey’s Gratitude Won Him an Oscar

I wrote (again) about the power of gratitude (Gratitude Is The Best Attitude) back at Thanksgiving and that’s the time of year this sentiment is most talked about and expressed in others.

However, true gratitude is not a seasonal affair. Your attitude of gratitude should be practiced year round for there is much to be thankful for.

From a purely business perspective, it is essential that your customers (and potential customers) feel that you truly care for their well-being (not just when you’re trying to sell them) and you’re truly appreciative and grateful for their business or consideration.

Always keep in mind (and heart) that when a customer purchases a product or service from your business, even if the transaction did not involve you, the customer is indirectly paying you. For, without them, there is no paycheck – no job – no business to be had.

Always Be Grateful.

Always Be Grateful

Anyone who exercises regularly can tell you how true this “If It Doesn’t Challenge You, It Doesn’t Change You” quote is. Those folks know that they must go a little faster, add a little more resistance, get that extra rep and push themselves a little further to gain muscle, lose fat and increase their level of conditioning.

Conversely, they realize that if their workouts occur in their comfort zone then they will not physically progress and grow. The same is true intellectually with your own personal professional development.

In order to break through to new levels of success you must challenge yourself to be better every day. Read a great book, make that extra sales call, give extra personal care and attention to customers, commit to continuous improvement and being a true student of your profession and you will change – for the better!

Make a Great Day!

Steve 🙂
