Sales - A 'No-Brainer'We’ve all heard the term. If something is a ‘no-brainer’ it’s basically an easy decision. You don’t have to use any brain power to work out that you should go ahead.

Yes, he was getting an academic award for Chemistry - a subject I struggled to even pass at school - but he seems to excel in. Before the awards were handed out, the principal gave a short speech. My ears pricked up when he said that he had a list of ten things that he wanted to share with these school leavers that required no talent but that would help them move forward in the next stage of their lives. I wanted to share them here with you because I think they are ten great things we can all be reminded of and as they require zero talent - there shouldn't be any excuses to access them ourselves.
