I had the opportunity to go to an event with Mark Sanborn, author of The Fred Factor. Mark’s life purpose is to create passion in your work and life can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Here are the major take away points that I got from his seminar -

· Everybody makes a difference
· First job of a salesperson is to prove significance
· Ask yourself everyday, “What kind of difference did I make today?”
· Everything is built on relationships
· Human-ness is what makes the difference
· The ability to create value for clients is the most important job skill you can possess
· Present day alchemists don’t make gold from medals they make gold from ideas
· No one can prevent you from being extra-ordinary, it’s your choice
· Create value continuously though passion creativity and commitment
