Break This Rule At Work

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK8-AbJlbNc&list=PLQIikebAPmLXatPXuc9skekrLMOfGq8E8&index=1[/youtube] [powerpress] You’ve heard, “Don’t mix business with pleasure”. Those who were brought up in the sales industry 20 years ago were trained not to do business with friends. I like to break those rules because what has worked really well for me has been mixing business with pleasure and doing business with friends. We know all the psychology reports suggest we do business with people we like. That doesn’t mean they have to be like us. We have a Read More

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1BimHv8e94&list=PLQIikebAPmLUVFYU8QYx6Lih8JjH3krw3&index=1[/youtube] You suck until you don’t. Literally. You are bad until you are good. I’ve noticed that people who want to go after your dreams, are bad until they are good at it. You might really suck in the beginning. No one is born a really good speaker and though I am good at it now, I struggled at the start. Even when you have a natural talent and a gift, you are still going to have a lot to Read More

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLrARe59Bbk&list=PLQIikebAPmLXatPXuc9skekrLMOfGq8E8&index=1[/youtube] It’s okay to have fun building relationships with clients (I promise). We can get so caught up in thinking what’s important everyday is the pile of emails. The Protestant work ethic is so engrained in us that unless work feels difficult and challenging, we don’t feel we are working hard enough. We worry that maybe we are having too much fun. If we’re out networking or spending time by the water cooler to chat with a colleague, we don’t Read More

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H39sEfjK5f0[/youtube] The easiest way to get in a successful state of mind is by far my favorite method. To get pumped and excited by using music that shifts your energy. When I was in sales, I would queue up songs in a playlist that would energize me at 7pm, when I was exhausted and just wanted to go home. I would use different songs for different things. One for speaking at a meeting, one for closing a sale, etc. We Read More
