Records are built
on systems.

For more than twenty years I built sales organisations that broke records in one of the hardest industries in the Caribbean. Now I build the software, the training and the thinking that let other people do it on purpose rather than by accident.

Most performance advice is anecdote dressed up as method. Someone succeeded, then explained it afterwards. My record was different in one respect: it repeated. Same branch, same market, same conditions everyone else called impossible. That only happens when the result is coming from a system rather than a personality.
