What’s Your Problem? with Marsh Buice

Chris Bosh is no stranger to criticism. Being a 2x  NBA champion, 11x All-star, and having your jersey permanently retired comes packed full of criticism. So how does Bosh deal with criticism? He budgets for it. "Criticism is the tax you pay on success. The more success, the bigger the tax." One of the 10 core skills needed to be successful in life is CRITICISM. So what better book than...

How much of your life is run on the auto-pilot of assumptions? After coming back from vacation, I ran right into my assumptions. I've been selling for 23 years and violated an elementary fundamental.  This made me ask the question, "What else have I been assuming in my life?" Are you consuming what you're assuming? Assumptions aren't bad, if they're lead, but they&apo...

Will you celebrate or remain committed? After you've put in 45 minutes at the gym or worked out every day this week, will you celebrate by overindulging in good food and rounds of drinks or will you remain committed to the ultimate goal of losing 50 lbs.? After you've laid it on the line and had your best sales month ever, will you celebrate by taking the next month off or will you commi...

When I say I ❤️ Tim Grover's new book W1NNING, I mean LOVE because it smashes everything that you've imagined winning to be. Winning can be both your friend in the moment and a cold-hearted enemy for months/years thereafter. Today's episode kicks off a series of TSL's to not only highlight the book, but shift your mind from the rat race of competing to a position of winning. TO...

It took me nearly 4 years and 600+ episodes to finally discover who I am as it relates to The Sales Life Podcast. Don't get me wrong, I had an idea, but it wasn't crystal clear...until now. "Who are you?" & "Who are you NOT?" Find the areas that you're most frustrated and ask yourself those 2 questions. " Who are you?" & "Who are you NOT?&q...

Bishop TD Jakes released a new book titled, "Don't drop the mic." The people who brought about change were the ones who-despite the pressures, didn't drop the mic. What is your mic? Is it a wrench; classroom, blog, listing, storefront, salesperson, or is it a literal mic...maybe you're a podcaster like me ❤️. What ever your mic, don't you dare drop it.  Thank you for...

My friend Catherine Brown sent out an email with the title, "One day or day one?"  Had the first sentence not asked me if I read the title carefully, I would've missed it and is indicative to how we live our lives.  We live our lives with "one day" dreams instead of working with "day one" statements.  "One day I hope to save more money." "One day I...

I've never thought of myself as an over-thinker until I read Jon Acuff's book Soundtracks. When I go for a long run, I like to put on a classic rock playlist. These are songs that I grew up with like Van Halen, Guns and Roses, AC/DC, & Aerosmith that help me push through when I want to quit, but according to Acuff there's another playlist too. An internal playlist. Isn't if...

"I'm not quite ready," says everyone. "Ready" is bullshit. It's a form of self-sabotage and procrastination. While you're waiting to be "ready" others are lapping you. While you're waiting to be "ready" what you're really doing is waiting for life to slam the door on you in order to start.  Don't wait for circumstances to be jus...

"It is what it is." I hate that phrase, because the statement makes it seem like that you're giving up...unless you're Michael J. Fox. The 80's phenom actor has been battling with Parkinson's for over 30 years. How does Fox deal with not being able to press the buttons on his phone or suddenly fall down? He told Men's Health Magazine, he deals with moments like t...

One thing I love about doing a podcast is learning from other podcasts and sharing my perspective with others. Joe Ferraro of the "One Percent Better Podcast" and Alan Stein, Jr. of the "Raise Your Game Show" had a discussion about the EGO. The age old question is what do you do with the ego? Keep it or kill it? Some say you should not have an ego. I say you MUST have an ego, b...

Today on The Sales Life, it is my pleasure to bring on Nina Sossamon-Pogue. Nina is a Emmy award winner. Author. Speaker. And just an overall bad-ass, resilient individual. In episode 589  back in October of 2020. I read her book, This Is Not The End,  and did an episode about needing a script for  what she calls "This" moments.  This moments are catastrophic situations that arise in you...

As a young man at football camp, a kicking coach gave Josh Altman some sage advice. No matter what’s on the line or the pressure you may feel, “always kick the ball the same.”  Not only did Altman carry that forward as an athlete, but he carried it forward in his career as a highly successful real estate agent to LA’s rich & famous.  Your inconsistency is due to your reputation. “When you half...

When did it happen? Do you remember what day it was....or what it even was? There was a time you were a boss, beast, and certified bad-ass...but today your life is just bad. It all seems wrong, doesn't it? "All" being the operative word.  In his book, " Relentless Solution Focus," Dr. Jason Selk writes, "A pattern I have seen in highly successful people is what I refe...

Personal development coaches will tell you on the days that you have the “don‘t wants,” you should just remind yourself that you “get to” take on the world. Thats all fine and good if everything is unicorns 🦄 , rainbows 🌈 , & sunflowers🌻.  But what do you do on the days when you don‘t want to “get to” do anything?    These are your “have to days.” The days when you’re bummed, busted, broken...

Richard Fenton, co-author of one of my favorite books, “Go For No,” said, “Your comfort zone is either shrinking or expanding, but it never stays the same.” It’s either/or, but it’s not neither nor. One question to ask yourself right before making a decision is, “Am I shrinking or expanding in this moment!” Playing it safe, selective, or judgmental only tightens the bands of “comfort,” until you’r...

“Going onto a movie set is like something you’ve never seen,” said Jay Shetty to his good friend & actor Will Smith. “It’s pressure packed with so many moving parts.  Everyone has to be in position, remember their lines, & get the shot before the sun goes down.”   “I knew you were committed to personal growth when I’d see you reading in the gaps between the scenes.”   An actor like Smith c...

Hala Taha (cool name) is dubbed The Palestinian Princess in the podcast world. In a few years, she has leaped to the top of the charts with her, Young And Profiting (YAP) Podcast, interviewing some of the world's best and brightest, but don't get it twisted, Hala Taha is no stranger to adversity.  On today's episode, you'll hear how she pulled herself out of the ashes of having...

Basketball tryouts were coming up for my daughter. Though she’d never played before, Coach wanted her to try out. She thought out loud about what position she should play & her jersey number.    I asked her one question, “Are you prepared to ride the bench?” What will you do if you step into the arena and you’re not an instant success? What will you do if you have to work just as hard, if not...

I ❤️ today’s episode, (and all the others too 😂) but this one is important because we’ve all come up with a brilliant idea, yet we flush it once we hear someone thought  of it first. Join the list. Alexander Bell, the Wright brothers, nor did Steve Jobs come up with the idea, but they sure as hell executed on that idea. Don‘t stop because you weren’t the first...start because you‘re bold enough t...

In his book “Pound The Stone,” Joshua Medcalf writes, “ Everyone knows the story of David & Goliath, but few look at how it began.“ David became David long before he ever faced Goliath.    We will all face Goliath moments in our lives. The question is what will you do in the moment? What you do is dependent on what you’ve done up to that moment. Thank you for listening ! Get on board and prime...

“Odds are you won’t make it,” says anyone hearing your dreams.    The percentages say that there’s a high likelihood that you will fail...but what they also say (that others won’t say either) is that someone may it to the other side of those odds.    Be an odds maker.

You wouldn’t put old lawn chairs in your brand new mansion, yet you keep “lawn chair” associations, have a “lawn chair“ mindset, have ”lawn chair“ habit, expect million dollar result?! Aint gonna happen.    Hip Hop Legend Rakim coined the phrase, “It’s not where you‘re from, it’s where you‘re at.” You can’t expect to achieve massive new results using “come from“ things.  TEXT ME!
