Calonne on The Impossible
“If it is doable, it is done; if impossible, it shall be done.”
–Charles Alexandre de Calonne (1734–1802)
French statesman
Sales creed…
We are The Economy. (That includes you.)
Recovery depends on the work we do today… regardless of difficulty (we’re close).
The US Navy SEALS have a creed they live by in their work. A few of our favorite lines are…
- The lives of my teammates and the success of the mission depend on me… (individual accountability)
- If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. (resilience)
- In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. (purpose)
- By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day. (commitment)
What if we all had a Trident for our work – something that says we truly accept the responsibility for our chosen profession – and we did it?
You up for it?

If you’ve got 4.5 minutes and haven’t seen it, get revved up from Al Pacino’s half-time speech in the 1999 film "Any Agreed Sunday." (so excellent)
