...for rainy days, chilly nights, or times when you wish you were there. The North Shore of Lake Superior was a family summer vacation when I was a kid, it's where I met my wife, where we hiked to remember my Dad after his death, where my brother was married, and where my family continues to find peace. All the images in this coloring book come from our photographs and memories of the North Shore. A small photograph is printed opposite each drawing. You'll notice big and small differences between them. I drew each page to balance pattern, fine detail, and big open spaces to make the images more interesting. The colors of the North Shore are distinctive with different seasonal hues. Color these pages just the way you want! Use your imagination to create something beautiful. Space is also available to record memories of time spent on the North Shore. Hike on ridgeline trails, listen to thundering waterfalls, or sit quietly at the shore. When it's too dark or too cold to go out, or when you can't get to the North Shore, color these pages to find some peace.

Excerpt From Million Dollar Sales Conversations: "Tom nodded and looked around the group. I could see the aha moment on their faces. We didn't have any of these answers for any of the contacts we were working with and we knew it. I knew when I saw their faces that we didn't have the kind of relationships we needed. They recognized it too. We hadn't spent enough time with them as people with lives and interests outside of work. That meant we were at risk of losing this deal. If we had pushed forward with the final proposal at this point we would have lost the contract. Obviously, my team had spent a significant amount of time putting the right solution together, adding value and driving the price down. However, the part they were missing was cultivating personal relationships with the contacts. Doing business with people is more than just doing business. In order to be successful, you need to build trust and add value. You do this when you know how to have the right conversations."So are you ready?See how Million Dollar Conversations can change your life!Grab your copy today!
