    "A journey of self-discovery into the unspoken world of building a business"

    Business from the outside can make it seem like you've 'got it all'. Especially when it allows you to travel the world and live a life with choice.

    But what happens when two 'twenty-something' businessmen accidentally peel back the layers of their 'filtered' lives they present to the world?

    What happens when they question things so deeply, they find there's no turning back from what they eventually discover about themselves?

    This is the side of business no one was meant to see.

    This is the side of 'success' we often try to hide.

    This is your guide into the unspoken world of scaling a company.

    Dare to enter the void?

  • The Future Of Selling

    Shoebox Publications

    "The most dangerous phrase in the language is we've always done it this way" - Admiral Grace Hopper.

    QUESTION: What happens when the entire sales landscape changes and learning how to think becomes more important than learning what to say?

    ANSWER: Declining sales results for those who choose to stay the same and exponential growth for those who choose to adapt.

  • Sammy The Salmon - Go Against The Flow

    Shoebox Publications

    Sammy the Salmon woke up one morning with a new lease on life, she was tired of being boring.
    "I want to swim to the ocean!" She said with a smile, but Barry the Bear shook his head in denial.'

    I'm a big believer that kids have incredible qualities; they're persistent, they're honest, they love simplicity, they take massive action, they dream big dreams, and they aren't afraid to try. Yet as adults we often take the opposite approach as a way of being 'comfortable' andā€¦

    Sammy the Salmon woke up one morning with a new lease on life, she was tired of being boring.
    "I want to swim to the ocean!" She said with a smile, but Barry the Bear shook his head in denial.'

    I'm a big believer that kids have incredible qualities; they're persistent, they're honest, they love simplicity, they take massive action, they dream big dreams, and they aren't afraid to try. Yet as adults we often take the opposite approach as a way of being 'comfortable' and 'normal'

    I wrote 'Sammy the Salmon' to inspire my two girls (and as many other kids as possible for that matter) to 'never stop dreaming of their big expansive space' and hopefully in the process reignite that spark in us adults too.

    So follow Sammy on her journey living 'life against the flow' in the pursuit of her 'big expansive space' despite the fear, criticism, and doubt she receives and feels.

  • The Diary of a S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Driven Kid

    Shoebox Publications

    Inspired by the death of his grandfather, Thomas Jorgesen, who was tragically assaulted by a young man syphoning fuel out of the family car late one summerā€™s evening, Steve Claydon had a sudden realization that life is a measured commodity for which the unknown will always exist. Because of this act, Steve never had the opportunity to meet his grandfather.

    Inspired by the death of his grandfather, Thomas Jorgesen, who was tragically assaulted by a young man syphoning fuel out of the family car late one summerā€™s evening, Steve Claydon had a sudden realization that life is a measured commodity for which the unknown will always exist. Because of this act, Steve never had the opportunity to meet his grandfather. Yet, Steve wished that he could have held and read something created by his grandfather, something of his mind and a little more substantial than a dozen photographs and a few stories passed down by his family. This motivated Steve like never before to quickly document his own thoughts and experiences, wins and failures, vision and beliefsā€”all of which culminates in the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. formula. Steve desired to set his mind into a format that could stand the test of time. He wanted to create a physical representation of his mind that could be passed on to his young daughters in the event that he was no longer present to help, teach, share, and create with them, and to continue to help others in the pursuit of their lives.

    The Diary of a S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Driven Kid takes you on a raw, seven-day journey across the private collection of Steveā€™s thoughts and experiences as he imparts the self-evaluating formula he created and used to transform his own personal and business life from a place of disappointment and near failure to a place of excitement and tremendous growth. Itā€™s simple, repeatable, teachable, and timeless. Best of all, this formula can be implemented quickly and easily to generate successā€”whatever that personally means to youā€”at levels which were never before deemed possible.

  • Sales Juice - A Concentrated and Complete Selling System

    Shoebox Publications

    Welcome to SALES JUICE! The freshest, most satisfying juice you will ever taste!

    Let me ask you a question: when was the last time you consumed a juice that prepared you for success, made you a lot of money, allowed you to feel confident each and every day, and equipped you with everything you need to know to take your business or career to a new level?

    Welcome to SALES JUICE! The freshest, most satisfying juice you will ever taste!

    Let me ask you a question: when was the last time you consumed a juice that prepared you for success, made you a lot of money, allowed you to feel confident each and every day, and equipped you with everything you need to know to take your business or career to a new level?

    Yeah, I thought soā€¦ Well you are in for a real treat! SALES JUICE is a refined and effective selling system that has been carefully developed and compiled over hundreds ā€“ dare I say thousands ā€“ of hours.

    Best of all, it has been tested and proven right here in the real world before being put together into this simple, handy book.

    Steve Claydon, the author of SALES JUICE, developed this system while working in the automotive industry. This very system allowed him to win consecutive national sales awards all in a town with a population of only 160,000. (Yes he took on the big city folk and came out on top!)

    Steve knows all too well, that for salespeople or business owners, time is a scarce commodity. It often seems to disappear into thin air, leaving little time for professional development. That is the reason why he created SALES JUICE.

    SALES JUICE is a business book without a lot of ā€˜pulpā€™ that has to be sifted through to get to the really good stuff! And, most importantly, the principles and techniques you will discover in this book can be implemented immediately allowing you to quickly reap the rewards and be a stand out in your own business or career.

    ENJOY SALES JUICE RESPONSIBLY!

  • The Project Compass App

    - Present

    In alignment to 'The Project Principle' methodology and sales strategies, I decided to create an app that would help B2B/Project Related Sales Professionals close more high-value projects with ease.

    I was often asked by my clients and sales teams, 'So Steve, here's the situation, what should I do next?'. With that as an almost daily question, I thought there had to be a more efficient and scalable way to find the perfect winning strategy and next steps within 60 seconds orā€¦

    In alignment to 'The Project Principle' methodology and sales strategies, I decided to create an app that would help B2B/Project Related Sales Professionals close more high-value projects with ease.

    I was often asked by my clients and sales teams, 'So Steve, here's the situation, what should I do next?'. With that as an almost daily question, I thought there had to be a more efficient and scalable way to find the perfect winning strategy and next steps within 60 seconds or less.

    'The Project Compass' mobile application was born. Using over 7 years of real-time, hands-on sales training experience with over 250+ projects related companies and over 7,000 sales professionals the foundations were built and tested with exceptional results.

    Add a touch of design with a strong focus on UX and the final product was launched to a small group of BETA testers. I've had feedback from Sales Managers of medium-sized companies that this app has given them back upwards of 2 hours a day instead of answering the same types of sales strategy questions asked by their individual sales team members. "This has empowered them" - one business owner said with a sense of relief, "Now I can spend that time on growing the business". I've had feedback from the sales team themselves that the strategies provided through the app had helped them close 6 figure and 7 figure deals. "ROI case delivered. PO arrived within 2 hours! BOOM!".

    'Game changer', 'so easy', 'good to have it in my pocket', 'super helpful', 'it works' have all been words used to describe 'The Project Compass'.
