UNSTOPPABLE YOU

Quiet mid morning shopping malls always reminds me of my marriage and the many many times over the years I would pull my daughter and son out of class in grade school so the three of us could take a day off, play eye spy with my little eye and horse around in the mall freely when no one was there.

Everything was easier and we could do whatever we wanted unbothered. As I sit and reflect it also reminds me of why we all love, and fall out of love, with careers and relationships.

We have a deep need for Growth and Contribution.

How much growth do you feel you can receive and have available to you at work? At home? With your partner? etc. How much growth are you bringing to the table for them?

Do you feel like you are being contributed to and are contributing to your work? Your clients? Your home? Your partner? etc. How much contribution are you making for them?

Its a two way street. Low growth and contribution is a sure fire way to dissatisfaction.

Get it, find it and create it, where you are now, or you will eventually be pushed or pulled elsewhere ...

UNSTOPPABLE YOU

Uncertainty precedes certainty. Frustration is just before materialization.

The way you become certain is to examine your beliefs, attitude, information, practices and outcomes. Look for evidence and ideas that align and those that don't. Usually it is found in the sweet spot between what you thought, what others think and the data.

We tend to feel frustrated just before breakthroughs because the push and pull becomes emotionally massive. As you continue to keep your eyes on the prize, resources and ideas culminate. Then you find yourself making massive progress with tangible results.

Both are needed, take patience and persistence.

Stay on point and in your lane, don't give up and keep using feedback and outcomes to make any adjustments necessary, either tangible or intangible.

Think, feel and grow rich, in all ways!

Dealerships sales teams have so many reasons to be the best they can be! Here is another ...

With their massive domestic market shrinking due to the pressures of the rapid return and rise in Americanism, and way too much production capacity, international dumping will put pressure on all the markets they are selling in.

The Chinese auto market is shrinking primarily due to severely weakened consumer purchasing power and a structural saturation of the primary vehicle market, exacerbated by the withdrawal of government subsidies that had previously pulled forward demand.

Key factors driving this contraction include:

Economic Headwinds: A prolonged property downturn and depressed consumer spending have frozen domestic demand, while rising fuel costs have specifically devastated sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

Policy Hangover: The expiration of vehicle purchase tax exemptions and trade-in subsidies in late 2025 and early 2026 removed artificial demand boosts, leading to a significant post-subsidy slump.

Intense Price Wars: A brutal competitive landscape has forced manufacturers to slash prices below production costs to maintain volume, resulting in industry-wide profit margins dropping to historic lows (as low as 2.9% in early 2026) and widespread dealer losses.

Overcapacity: Decades of capacity expansion have left the industry with far more production capability than the shrinking domestic market can absorb, forcing automakers to aggressively pursue exports to survive.

UNSTOPPABLE SALES

Words can hurt or help.

"Sign here" or "A quick ok please" --- "We can't do that" or "This is what we can do" --- "I need a deposit" or "Did you want to hold this with a credit or debit card" --- "What else do you want?" or "Other than that anything else?"

I could go on and on ...

Words create feelings. Feelings create action or inaction. You can't move sideways in a sale. It's always forward, backward or try to hold.
