Do you worry what people think of you?
| |
| Do you find that you change your behaviors based on what other people think? Do you worry that you said the wrong thing? Do you worry how people will react to the choices you make? Do you hope that you make a good impression on others and that you look and sound intelligent? Do you hope that people like you? Do you rush off to put make up on just because someone is coming over to visit you? Do you agree with everyone else’s opinion?

The Buzzard, The Bat & The Bumblebee
| |
| The BUZZARD
If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top. |

A False Assumption Made by Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs
| |
| In his best selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber said that most people fall victim to the most disastrous assumption anyone can make about going into business. He calls it 'The Fatal Assumption'. That Fatal Assumption is: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work. In other words, don't assume that if you know how to bake pies (technical work of a business), it means you know how to successfully run a business that sells pies (business that does that technical work). |

How to Fight Worry
| |
| Do you ever feel like you have a million things to do, but not nearly
enough time to complete them? When we feel like this, it's easy for our mind to turn into overdrive, running through everything we have to do over and over again. With all of these thoughts running through our mind, we can easily get tense, worried and stressed out, so no wonder we are exhausted when we get to the end of the day. But worse than this, the quality of what we actually are doing decreases, as rather than focusing fully on what we are doing right now, our mind keeps returning to all of those uncompleted tasks. It's hard to enjoy life when this pattern is running in our lives. So what can we do to combat this? |

|
Focus on educating your customers
| |
| When customers are not buying, it’s very easy to take it personally, think the whole world’s against you and get very demotivated with the whole thing. And then of course, that makes the situation even worse – because customers can sense a mile off if you’re not happy and even though you desperately want more customers, they don’t want to work with you. |

The Priorities Game
| |
| Each one of us is a valuable resource and we all have gifts we are meant to use in service to others. There are demands on our time constantly. How do we pick and choose where we will use our time and energy? It’s tough!
The Priorities Game can help. I use it with many of my clients. Just apply these few simple questions to any demand on your time before you make a decision. You will be more intentional about your choices. Follow through based on your answers and you’ll experience more focused energy and peace. |

The 4th of the 10 Kurlan Sales Competencies That are Key to Building a Sales Culture
| |
| For more than 40 years, sales authors, experts and trainers have been telling their readers, subscribers and clients about the importance of talking 30% of the time and listening 70% of the time. That ratio is not etched in stone. Even 50/50 is acceptable. The stage of the sales process dictates the ratio more than the ratio itself. For instance... |

DON’T SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!
| |
| When your grown child has a child, he/she can automatically switch his/her own dynamics from child to adult to parent with all that it entails. This unfolds due to changing circumstances that a younger person is faced with on the road to full-fledged adulthood. When your child has a child, he/she is forced to step into another role whereas you stay in the same place, essentially. You become a grandparent but are not saddled with all of the responsibility of having to care for your own child. You continue to see your grown child as your child and perhaps not the parent that they’ve become, with all the angst and worry that comes with it. |

‘6 things you MUST-DO to ensure your family survives a job loss’
| |
| Nobody takes pleasure in suddenly becoming unemployed. Just the ‘prospect’ alone can be very overwhelming and stressful. Often the worry or anxiety comes from feeling you have no control over the situation. This is partially true, you may not be able to control what your employer does but you can control to some extent how it will affect you and your family. The reality is, no one’s job is really secure but a layoff doesn’t have to be the end of the world. The key to survival is to be prepared, especially with regards to your finances. Here are some things you can do in advance of being laid off: |

Worry vs. Concern
| |
| I believe that concern is worry with action. Worry in and of itself does nothing other than diminish focus. Concern has the potential to release creative solutions to the obstacle that one is facing.
I heard a story about an elderly monk who was training a number of younger monks learning to live their dedicated lives of service. One of his pupils came to him and told him that he was so weighted down with all of his worries that he could not perform his tasks. The old, wise monk said, "I have a gift for you. It was given to me by an old and wise monk when I was your age. This gift has allowed me a life of grace, peace, and focus."

When Customers Lie – Don’t be Lead Astray

| It's a sad truth, some customers don't tell the truth. They want time to decide, they are not sure about you, or they just don't want to put you on the defensive. Either way, don't get angry, get educated so you can adjust the way you talk to people. |

Seven Key Words for Success
| |
| These seven words, when used properly, hold the key to finding answers and solutions to every problem, obstacle, or barrier you will encounter. When you are faced with a problem, look at this list to determine what you need to do or be to solve it.
1. Change
To make things different in your life, you have to make one or more changes. Change happens all the time, and there is nothing we can do about it. Few things in life are static or permanent, and the "status quo" is never permanent. There are only two things in life that never change: truth, and the fact that everything else changes. Regardless of your background, you can become more. |

Boosting Your Profits in This Recession - Part 1
| |
| There are two types of responses a business owner may have to this recession.
One is to panic, which fills your mind with fear, doubt, worry, anxiety and bitterness. The second is to get better. If you are serious about surviving and thriving past this recession, you need to get serious about getting better in all aspects of your business.
But, first things first - you need to start by knowing where exactly your business is strong and precisely where it needs reinforcement. Whether your goal is to increase your total net profits by $10,000 or by $10 Million, you need to isolate individual values that collectively contribute to that goal. Remember that performance measured is performance gained. |

How To Overcome of 'Not Achieving Goal' Fear
| |
| Anxiety is the result of either a) not believing you can achieve your goals successfully or b) having a fear of not achieving your goals. Either can stop you in your tracks when it comes to being successful. If you don’t believe in your goals or don’t believe you can achieve them, your attitude will determine your level of success. And that’s where worry and anxiety come in to roost. If you can see your goals and the small steps you’ll take to achieve them (and have a check-mark system to chart your progress), pull it out and read over it when you begin to feel anxious. |

How To Handle Customer Billing Snafus
| |
| Seriously, whether the client owes you the money or not is a moot point. Yes, you made an accounting mistake, but if the client agreed to pay you a certain amount each month in exchange for certain services rendered, and you have been under-billing that client for delivering those certain services, the client owes you the money, period. |

Money Talk
| |
| Conversations about money abound. We usually talk aloud about money when we’ve just had an unexpected bill pop up, a dry season with income or some other painful experience. It’s quite acceptable in American culture to complain and fret to each other about our finances. In fact, others will join in with you to make a fast pity party. It’s almost cool to complain. |

Worry, worry, worry – when will it end?
| |
| Worry is the wonderful emotion that drains our energy. My experience is that worry focuses around two areas: 1) real issues that are so huge it seems we cannot ever solve it, or 2) issues that usually go away, with or without our worry. Whatever your worry category, the solution is the same. We need to understand our worry and identify what we can control and what we can’t. |

The Price of Worry How it Impacts Your Performance

| You probably think worry is a ¡§natural¡¨ part of life; something that comes into play just to protect us. Reconsider this possibility: when you keep going through the same habits of worry, procrastination, or even emotional drama, again and again ¡X effectively avoiding having to take a constructive, corrective action, life does more than become rather repetitive¡K it gets to be predictable! And that ¡§prediction¡¨ does not leave you in a powerful place. |

Not On My Watch!
| |
| The thing that I have discovered about stress and worry is that the more time we spend idly thinking about the negative things that are happening in our lives; the more we are prone to worry about the consequences that will occur. If we could be more proactive and keep constant watch over what we allow to enter in, we will find that we will be less worried and much more productive. |

In many cases they need to learn (and practice) a truth held dear by generations of great professional salespeople: If worry is the sickness, action is the cure.
