Happy Monday!

Ah, Mondays. Some people hate them because they have to get back to work life after a weekend. I love them. New beginnings and all that.

When a person is seeking something better, often the key change they need to make is in their attitude.

One of my “aha” moments occurred when someone told me a story about the difference between a great and not so great salesperson. The facts were the same: a sale is closed for every 10 contacts made.

The not so great salesperson was discouraged by this statistic and felt overwhelmed having to make 10 contacts to make a sale.

The great salesperson embraced the statistic. Every rejection meant one “no” contact closer to the "yes" that made the sale.

That's the perspective I want people to see in me. And the one I try to instill in anyone who'll listen.

Happy Monday!

    1. This free blog must be based on the west coast. Everything is in Pacific time! I actually post here before I go to work...so around 7:30 p.m., not 5:30 p.m.
