Greetings, Summit Leaders. "They were all gathered together in one accord." Suddenly, like a rushing wind, something happened. They are empowered to accomplish the extraordinary. Seven thousand three hundred ninety gathered together virtually on Monday, February 1, 2021, to hear from executive sales leaders share the plan for victory in 2021. What a glorious day and a new beginning! Unity starts in one person who believes. They are single-minded and stable in all their ways. They set their face like flint on the objective. Others join the quest and become one in vision, purpose, one message, and one mind - they are in accord. "I have unwavering confidence in our strategy." Arvind Krishna, IBM CEO Then someone responded, "Thank you for your leadership and unwavering confidence in our strategy! We believe and will act." "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Our mission is to become "the undisputed leader in Hybrid Cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI)." "I believe we can make IBM the most trusted technology partner of the 21st century." Arvind Krishna, IBM CEO. Belief is a powerful principle! When we believe, we take action. Faith without works is dead. But with faith, all things are possible to those who believe! Reaching our clients is essential to their success and prosperity in the days ahead. Just before Normandy's invasion on D-Day, June 6, 1944, World War II, General Dwight Eisenhower's determination that operation OVERLORD (the invasion of France) would bring success is evident in this message to the Allied Expeditionary Forces troops. "I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!" - General Dwight Eisenhower. "Order of the Day" - statement as issued to the soldiers, sailors and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force on June 6, 1944 [Museum Manuscripts transferred to the Library FY69, Box 1; NAID #12000995] You make progress with every action you take. Keep engaging your clients. "Calls plus demos equal sales." Take action every day. Believe you will win day by day. Faith sees the end from the beginning. We fight from Victory, Not for Victory. "True behavior change is identity change. You might start a habit because of motivation, but the only reason you'll stick with one is that it becomes part of your identity. Anyone can convince themselves to visit the gym or eat healthy once or twice, but if you don't shift the belief behind the behavior, then it is hard to stick with long-term changes. Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are." Clear, James. Atomic Habits (p. 34). Penguin Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. Who are we? We are skilled, devoted, and courageous. You are victorious! "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." What you think about and consistently act on matters because it forms the basis of whom you will become. Victory!
