“It’s not about service - it’s about the experience”
Nicholas Bate

This quote is from Nicholas’ book ‘Instant MBA: Think, Perform and Earn Like a Top Business School Graduate’ which I’m about a 3rd the way through.  Nicholas is a master of distilling the essence of an idea down to something you can use, usually quickly.  At first pass when I read this I thought it was an obvious point, but I don’t think it is – customer service is just one element of the experience.

Nicholas has a series of related blog posts on the differentiators for the new world of work that’s worth a read.

“The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary”
Vidal Sassoon

I’ve heard many motivational speakers and business people describe success as ‘easy’… and by easy I’m pretty sure they don’t mean ‘sitting about doing very little’ easy – I think they mean that once you find something you are passionate to the point of being fanatical then doing the work becomes easy because you’re highly motivated.  Anyone falling for the easy sell will soon realise that Vidal was spot on.

“You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want”
Zig Ziglar

Zig is certainly a great motivator and success coach.  I’m not sure when he first came up with this quote, but I’ve heard him use it in all the speeches I’ve heard… and its a corker.
