Frustration

Frustration is a painful, debilitating feeling that can often cause you to do things you’ll regret. So choose to quickly let it go.


Frustration, as automatic and overpowering as it may seem, is a choice. And you can always make a different choice.


The habit of reacting in frustration is just that, a habit. Like any other habit you’ve developed, you can get rid of it when you choose.


Yes, life regularly presents you with difficult dilemmas for which frustration is a perfectly understandable reaction. Other than grabbing your attention, however, your frustration never does accomplish much.


So once you’re aware of the frustrating situation, make the choice to find a more useful, effective response. Step back from the desire for instant drama, and work on creating some long-term positive results.


Channel the high-powered energy of frustration into intentional, focused, positive action. Give yourself the option to act effectively and appropriately, and you’ll find you have no need for frustration.

40 Winning Habits of Top Sales Performers

Cold calls, emails, presentations, client meetings— every salesperson knows how  to do them. Salespeople learn to do these in practice, during company trainings, and sales conferences. The rules and mechanics are almost universal, and the difference you hear is usually just a matter of semantics. If the sales trade is an open book anyone can read, then why do salespeople get different results? Why do some sales front liners close deals faster than other agents? Why do some people hit their quota , while some trail behind their targets? We can barely hear you say, “because they’ve got the charm, the looks, the technique. Because they’re cut out for this job.” If you think the same, then this list is the cure to your self-pity and doubt.  Winning the sales game is not a birthright or a God-given talent . Selling is a skill, and some people are better at it because they’ve worked at it.   It’s what salespeople do besides selling that makes a difference in sales productivity....

New Year’s Resolutions 2016: 16 Ideas For Setting Goals In The New Year

Image
Make more money, lose weight, and live by the Golden Rule. These are some of the  most popular New Year’s resolutions  around, but the formula for a better future is variable. For some people, learning to manage stress is a more constructive goal than shedding a few pounds. For others, the New Year might be best spent reconnecting with old friends, or taking more time off work to recharge. Come Jan. 1, one in three will vow to make changes that better their lives. Most, however, will collapse long before reaching the finish line. About 75 percent of people who make New Year’s resolutions are on target a week later, but that figure drops to less than 50 percent by July. That doesn’t mean New Year’s resolutions should be abandoned before they even have the chance to come to light. It’s time to knuckle down.
