In a November 2016 interview with Inc. magazine, Corcoran said that she had turned fury into her best friend. “The minute a man talked down to me, I was my best self,” she said. “I was going to get from that person what I wanted, come hell or high water…. He was not going to dismiss me. I would not tolerate it. I would say quietly to myself, ‘F@#& you.’?” When you take on the behemoth, you’ll be prone to unflattering media coverage and slander because you’re doing something bold, warns Bet-David. To counter negative rumors, share your story through social media, as this is a direct path from you to followers. When doing this, be honest, vulnerable, and consistent: Reveal mistakes you’ve made, solicit input from followers, and share content on a regular basis, so followers know when to expect it. I said to myself, “ Bet-David. The world’s going to know this last name. I know the pain we went through. I know the challenges we went through as a family when we came to America from Iran. I remember how embarrassed Mom would get from speaking broken English. I remember the look on Dad’s face at family gatherings when he was looked down upon by people. Before long, you’re going to be so proud of your last name. You’re going to be so proud you came to America. You’re going to be so proud of the sacrifices you made.” Shortform note: In The Oz Principle, Roger Connors and Tom Smith agree with Bet-David that employers should hold employees accountable for achieving goals and that employees should hold themselves accountable for achieving those goals. To encourage this kind of accountability, Connors and Smith suggest teaching employees that accountability doesn’t mean blaming themselves for everything that goes wrong. Rather, it means doing whatever is within your power to improve your odds of success.)

Selling is about believing in yourself, believing in your business, and believing in the value you can offer to the other person.” What determines if you win in any game (or business) isn’t how good you are; it’s how good you are relative to your competition.” I will not compromise on speed, execution, or efficiency. I don’t care how much bigger we get; I want speed, I want execution, I want efficiency. I am greedy in these three areas. I want them all.” Build momentum by fostering trust among employees, writes Bet-David. Trusting employee relationships lead to speedier internal operations, which, in turn, helps sustain momentum.
