Vitamins for the Mind

Skills/Sales
Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom.
You must either modify your dreams or magnify your skills.
You can cut down a tree with a hammer, but it takes about 30 days. If you trade the hammer for an ax, you can cut it down in about 30 minutes. The difference between 30 days and 30 minutes is skills.
The key to life is to become skillful enough to be able to do rewarding things.
Learn to hide your need and show your skill.
To succeed in sales, simply talk to lots of people every day. And here's what's exciting—there are lots of people!
Practice is just as valuable as a sale. The sale will make you a living; the skill will make you a fortune.
Selling is a person-to-person business. You cannot send the sales manual out to make the sale. Sales manuals have no legs and no voice.
In the sales profession the real work begins after the sale is made.
Salespeople should take lessons from their kids. What does the word "no" mean to a child? Almost nothing.
Even if you are new in sales, you can make up in numbers what you lack in skills.

Who we are.
Everyone is built differently although we have one of 4 core personality traits within us which defines who we are as people. Unfortunately some people have to hide their true self as they have been hurt by another person’s actions. Its part of life as a person, each of us must feel that we are free to be able to be ourselves and that we are not going to be criticised for being the person we are. Some people will put us down for who we are as a person or something we have achieved.
When we live a life of being told what to do, no you cannot do that and take it on board then it begins to control our own lives and we can no longer be who we are as a person. We need to get out of this environment where we are told what to think, how to act and be. It’s not easy yet it’s what happens and it’s great when we are capable of being ourselves as a person.

<![CDATA[The law of averages. Some people get massive success and then do not go any further as they hit a whole pile of no's. Yet those who have been rejected or had so many no's and not yes's are aware that they are closer to that next yes. Even though it may be 500 no's, 1000 no's or more. Everything evens out in time no matter how many no's you get, money, career, potenioal partners. When those yes's come for the people who have had so many no's it can be big.
Think about how many no's you have had in all areas of your life.]]>
