An Email Worth Re-Reading


December 13, 2010

We all receive many emails each day…some are even worthy of second look. This is the body that I received today. It seemed like something that needed to be passed along as far and wide as possible.

My contribution to this piece is to simply encourage you to read it completely…and if you feel so inclined, share this link with others so that...

What can be learned from Sports?


November 23, 2010

The reason for this topic at this time is two-fold. First, to explore the lessons that can be learned from watching sports at all levels. And secondly, it provides me an opportunity to share the feeling a proud parent experiences from watching their child provide so much leadership and joy from their efforts.

In the simplest of terms, athletics...

Gratitude Today!


October 12, 2010

Gratitude is the foundation from which all things flow. From the moment we open our eyes each morning we have the opportunity and more importantly the invitation to be grateful. At the very least you have opened your eyes—you have taken a breadth—you have awoken to a day full of opportunity and possibility. If you are not grateful for what...

Affirm Your Success!


August 10, 2010

Affirmations and Proclamations can be a helpful and promising way to start each and every day. Setting your daily intentions to focus on the potential good that can happen in your life each day creates action and movement towards your desires.

Allow me to relate a story that extends back to November 3, 2003—long before “The Secret” came...

The Attitude of Gratitude


August 1, 2010

Recently, being a little "down" (which thankfully happens only on the rare occasions) I sat and thought about how to get back to a more normal, positive outlook. The answer came quickly—express your gratitude and appreciation publicly on Facebook. I started posting 100 Days of Gratitude on my personal page, Scott Schilling (August 1st is day 70...

Sometimes it IS the Journey!


June 25, 2010

So, the jetlag has finally passed…I think. If you remember from our last blog, I spent 42 hours in a plane a week ago going to Singapore for a five-day seminar where I was a speaker. Yes, that’s a whirlwind trip in every single way, but you’ll never hear me complain about all that airtime.

You can’t get from point A to your final...

Be a Pro!


June 21, 2010

Imagine yourself in an airplane for 44 hours. To some that might sound like an eternity or torture, but to me it sounded like a prime opportunity.

Last week, I was given the opportunity to speak in Singapore and without getting into the detail, I took a long ride and it didn’t turn out the way it was supposed to go.

Some people might say,...

A Pat On the Back...Before Getting Back At It


June 1, 2010

A salesman and friend just made a rather large deal and I was thrilled because I had done work as his coach. He called me to tell me about it, but there was something in his voice that didn’t sound right. “Scott, it was one of the biggest deals of my career. It was worth a lot of money, but I could have done better. I could have sold them a...

How Do You Defeat Failure?


May 27, 2010

This is the story of a man who did a sales workshop on a very busy Saturday in Dallas. There was a PGA tournament going on and several other major happenings that weekend, part of the reason why only 10 people showed up for his event. The man was a bit depressed. The word "bit" is an understatement.

In fact, he started to beat himself up a...

Who Are You Serving?


May 24, 2010

I did a blog talk radio segment this week where the topic revolved around how selling is really serving. It amazed me that some of the people didn’t really understand that concept. Let me explain it to you. Any time there is a communication then you’re probably selling something whether it be a product, service or an idea. Yes, by just...
