Sorry this post is late. I been taking care of business at home. The weather is hot but there are some things that just need to be done. Just as in sales, things must be done to prepare for future sales. we just came off of a very big week, and now is the time to take care of things that you might not have had time to take care during the busy week. At home I have gotten behind on some projects that I've needed to do. So here is this weeks part.
STOP, CHALLENGE, CHOOSE
Weather it's stepping off the zipline, making a difficult phone call, or telling someone what you really feel, here are three toolsfor helping you step through fear.
STOP
When you feel yourself getting fearful or anxious, stop, take a deap breath, center yourself and observe what you are thinking, feeling, and doing.
CHALLENGE
Challenge yourself, think of the things that are self-defeating. Whats the worst that could happen? Whats the best thing that could happen?
CHOOSE
Once you've challenged your thoughts, choose a response that's in your best interest. Then act upon your choice. What if? So be it!
STOP, CHALLENGE, CHOOSE to move through your fears and self-imposed bounderies.
These are notes from training that I recieved from my past when i was a manager. They hold true whether you are in management or in sales or even in everyday life. So do yourself a favor and Stop, Challenge, Choose. These will help you to be a better person.
