Casual Articles - Success in Business Means Managing Negative Emotions
As I watched the all star game, it struck me how we need to consider our talents and how they fit into this game called life. What position can we play that brings us excitement, challenge and success? A position that allows us the opportunity to work hard yet is worth the effort. A position where sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail but always feeling the importance of the positi
A simple example will serve to illustrate this. Individual “A” fails to get a meeting with an important new client and immediately begins to berate himself for his poor performance. Individual “A” believes he is a failure if he doesn’t get buy in from every ne
Many businesses are taking for granted that consumers be acquainted with what their products are all about. But how could it is possible? How can a consumer identify without a bit of experience about your business? It is your task to inform them both visually (in the form of logo) and verbally (with a short communication and meaning of your products). You should present potential consumers
More and more executives are beginning to realize that the next frontier in maximizing their chances for success is to start focusing on building personal internal skills that go beyond the business training that they have already received.
To drive the point home, a metaphor to describe how negative emotions adversely affect personal and career performance is in order. As you know, when your car is not finely tuned it tends to work less efficiently and to break down more often thereby accumulating more downtime.
Similarly, having to deal with unwanted negative emotions has the same effect on one’s physical and emotional health and ultimately on one’s performance. The chronic wear and tear of these negative emotions is what I call stress.
We often think of stress as being caused by external circumstances. For instance, how often have you heard “ My boss just stresses me out”? In fact, the truth is that the origin of the stress is “all” internally generated. Yes, that’s right, “all internally generated”. One way to see this is to recognize that different individuals respond to “stressful circumstances” very differently.
Different responses to “stressful circumstances” are largely due to the fact that individuals perceive these situations differently based on conscious and/or unconscious beliefs that they may be projecting into the situation at hand.

There has been talk at the Federal Trade Commission of requiring Franchisor’s to give earnings claims in their disclosure documents. The franchise rights groups want it and the consumers need it to help them make a decision. But unfortunately with all the litigation in our nation it is too risky for franchisors. The Federal Trade Commission put forth a report on franchising last summer and

Burton Upon Trent as many other towns is losing its roots mainly because Coors has taken over the world reknown brewer Bass. The same as HP being taken from Birmingham to go to Europe. When will it stop? I started to see it with pub companies planting the same pubs in every town in the UK and the same with department stores. Every town starting to look the same. England and everytown withi

Worldwide metal production is ascertained directly through ore deposits from mining, smelting, and refining. What are secondary metals? They are metals discarded through industrial and manufacturing operations or as commercial products that are now obsolete. The benefit that recycling provides is that we return these waste materials back into the general manufacturing so they can be used f

If you have been hunting for businesses for sale, you have probably noticed that there are more restaurants for sale than any other business. Why are restaurants one of the most popular businesses on sale? It may be because there is a big market for restaurants. Or it may that these restaurants are being sold by their owners because they are not bringing in enough money to stay afloat. Ac
A simple example will serve to illustrate this. Individual “A” fails to get a meeting with an important new client and immediately begins to berate himself for his poor performance. Individual “A” believes he is a failure if he doesn’t get buy in from every new client.
Individual “B” however may see the situation as follows: “Well it’s likely that this client isn’t ready for my services yet so I’ll try again in a couple of months”. Individual “B” believes that the failure to connect with the client is not a reflection on his competence rather an issue of timing.
The effect of the different beliefs on individuals “A” and “B” are as follows:
Individual “A” feels like a failure, his sense of self-esteem and self-confidence plummet. This can lead to preoccupation with future failures followed by anxiety and poor concentration. All this affects future performance and success. Ultimately, we have a self-fulfilling prophecy occurring i.e. “I believe I’m a failure, therefore I fail”.
Individual “B, on the other hand has moved on to the next client without any significant difficulty. He may in fact have thought about how he might creatively assess which clients are more likely to be receptive, thereby boosting his sense of confidence.
Hence the impact of negative emotions are clear. What’s important is that it is unnecessary, yes unnecessary for anyone to be the victim of such negativity.
