If you are not moving closer to what you want in sales (or in life), you probably aren't doing enough asking.
Interpretation
Success in sales and life requires proactive efforts and asking for what you want.
This quote by Jack Canfield emphasizes the importance of taking action and being proactive in pursuit of one's goals, particularly in sales and in life. It suggests that if you find yourself stagnant or far from your desires, it is likely due to a lack of initiative in asking for opportunities or seeking help. The idea is that achieving success often requires putting yourself out there and actively pursuing your desires.

You only have control over three things in your life-the thoughts you think, the images you visualise, & the actions you take.
Progress and innovation happen when you set unrealistic goals.
The secret to changing your life is in your intentions. Wishing, hoping and goal setting cannot accomplish change without intention. What is needed is a shift from the inert energy of wanting to the active energy of doing and intention.
There is no excuse for not trying.
All that is impossible remains to be accomplished.
...we need to stop plotting the course and instead just land the plane on our plans to make a difference by getting to the "do" part of faith.
