Lee Iacocca displayed his passion for selling and his no-limitation mentality at a very young age. When he was just 10 years old, he would take his wagon to the grocery store and wait outside. As shoppers exited the store he would offer to pull their groceries home for a tip. By the time he was 16, he worked eight hours a day in a fruit market.

Originally hired as an engineer by the Ford Motor Company, he quickly proved he was better suited for sales. In a career that spanned 40 years, Iacoccas maverick, street-smart, thinking on your feet approach introduced breakthrough programs at Ford, such as the 56-56, a program which made it possible to purchase a new 1956 Ford for 20! Years later the business sold for millions of dollars, but if I had not boosted the sales, the company couldn't have been given away. Another reason companies need good salespeople!

In 1995 Gary Heavin and his wife, Diane came up with a way for women to exercise, and Curves for Women was born. They chose to focus on the average woman, providing an atmosphere that fostered camaraderie, encouragement, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, all for a very reasonable price. Gary hired the best franchise salespeople he could find and the business took off. Franchises begin to sell like hot cakes!

Today more than 2 million women in North America now make Curves a part of their regular weekly routine. There are an estimated 10,000 outlets in the US and Canada . Currently, one in every four health clubs in the country is a Curves for Women, and hundreds more are under construction.

As you can see, the ability to remove all limitations and see the sky as the limit is the secret behind extraordinary success. Master salespeople with no-limitation mind sets are skilled craftsman who are poised for greatness; they can't help but succeed. Their skills are worth literally millions, even billions of dollars for themselves and others. I think you'd agreethats a very good return on positive expectancy!
