Story is Everything

I realized that we often frame our past in a very negative way rather than taking the lessons out of the past to shape our present.

the story we tell ourselves matters because it dectates how we behave in our professional and personal life.

tell yourself a positive story always and see magic happens.

There are no mistakes there are lessons to be learned.

ACTUALLY.... if you're reading "To Sell is Human", instead of telling yourself a positive story, you are better off asking yourself questions about how you can get to that positive story - how can I improve myself, how can I do better today, why do I want to do better than yesterday? Answering questions like that directly and in writing will produce far greater results than just telling yourself something.

Your perspective dictates your reality. I have learned that when someone says, "it's just reality" that they are not talking about me. They are actually speaking about their reality. Our perspectives come from two different realities. Because my perspective in life is to try my very best to find that golden nugget, that gem that would allow me to see (like sea shark said) the lesson behind the message or action. So true sea shark, well said. 👍👍

It's the story you tell your client that matters.

I always remember my previous job when I start stressing about the job. That alone gets my ass back into the deal-crushing mindset.
