The spot opens with four athletic Parkour traceurs who are running through the wilderness, doing all kinds of Parkour stunts...flipping in mid-air, running up the side of the tree and then flipping upside down, executing flips-sideways over rocks, running and then sliding on a sloping dirt foundation covered with leafs and then flipping upside down in a curled ball over a cliff.
Where are they going? Wherever they want! And they're having a blast in the process! Of course, there are hours and hours of practice, mistakes, maybe even a few injuries (not shown), as well as mental toughness in overcoming doubt and fears.
Earl Nightingale, in his well known classic program, "The Strangest Secret", said this about achieving the results we're after, "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal" and he further explains that it's deliberately doing a pre-determined job because that's what we want to achieve. Nightingale described how we achieve this, "We become what we think about." What is your sales force thinking about? Is it their will to fulfill their dreams? Nightingale tells us that you will most certainly attain it -- if you focus on achieving it.
Much like the Parkour athlete, in order to get to the results that we want, we do things that others are not willing to do, and as a result, we go places that others don't get to go.
