It's the weekend of Black Friday and Cyber Monday - the traditional shopping weekend after Thanksgiving in the United States. Special sales are happening everywhere (so watch your email from me as well - LOL). In my most recent YouTube video, I revealed why most people don't see failures as temporary defeats that teach lessons and allow course corrections. Instead, they tend to blame external factors when, in large part, they are the captains of their own ship and control the outcome. Here is that video if you missed it. This podcast is Part Two to that video, discussing the importance of learning from temporary defeat, and what high performers do when they experience a setback. To Your Success... and Keep Pushing!

It's time for a truth bomb... Most people who think they're good negotiators are actually terrible at it. Seriously. They don't prepare properly. They talk too much.

Because, in this week's podcast, I'm going to show you how to fix it. To Your Success, Bruce Whipple https://brucewhipple.com/ PS - Be on the lookout for a special Black Friday offer designed to help you sharpen your sales and negotiating skills!

Of the original Fortune 500 list in 1955, only about 49–60 companies are still on the list today, depending on how you count mergers and breakups. That's roughly 10%–12% survival over ~70 years. Put differently, almost 90% of the biggest companies in America in 1955 are no longer there as standalone Fortune 500 companies today. The churn has actually sped up. • More than half of the Fortune 500 companies from the year 2000 are already gone by the mid-2020s, acquired, merged, went private, shrank, or died. • That's 25 years, not 50.
