Casual Articles - Motivate Yourself: Treat Bad News As Good News & Good News As Temporary
It's a brave new world. Effective management now means more than how you handle your staff. Management also includes how you manage your social reproducibility to others in your community. "There is no way to avoid paying serious attention to corporate citizenship: the costs of failing are simply too high. There are countless win-win opportu

Financial asset management is a great tool, that is used to manage a companies, investments, available cash flow, and its liabilities. This type of asset management is very complex, and requires the assistance of highly qualified professionals to obtain the best results.Most companies tend to outsource this task to qualified professi
Selling isn’t a team sport. It is a task that resists collaboration, like writing.
And those of us who sell for a major part of our livings know that our greatest challenge is getting up for the game, making sure we’re motivated, excited about the challenges before us.
If we don’t make ourselves sell, nobody else will pick up the slack, or hand us their “extra” orders, unless we’re still so fresh at it that the manager is nursing us along by feeding us “house” accounts.
But even that doesn’t last forever, and you have to question the wisdom in it.
So, how can you stay up, emotionally, and psyched, especially if you’re hitting a tough patch and the sales are few and far between? Here are some tips that have worked for me:
(1) Treat each setback as good news, as an opportunity. Henry Ford said failure is an opportunity to try again, more intelligently. There is a silver lining, if only the fact that your will is being forged in the molten furnace of disappointment, and you’ll emerge tougher and stronger than before.
(2) When sales are rolling in for you on a schedule celebrate, briefly, and then forget about them, quickly. They’re temporary, so see them as such. Don’t con yourself into thinking that you’re getting so good at selling that you can cut back your commitment to working hard.

Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations. The sin is limitations. As soon as you once come up to a man’s limitations, it is all over with him.EmersonGiven the assault on traditional values, are we headed in the right direction with ethical leaders? This is a valid question to ask given the current c

Gene, a friend of mine in the chemical business told me about traveling to see a potential client in Manila. They had a morning meeting and discussions were going well, but as the clock got to about half past eleven, Gene noticed that the client had something else on his mind. Eventually, the client told Gene that he was sorry, but he had so

Owning a small business isn’t easy, especially if you are running it alone. Between moving products, taking orders, paying bills, and taking care of family, it is easy to lose track of everything you need to do. Using a calendar template to organize and manage your marketing strategy will ensure you don’t drop the ball with one of the most i

Now you no as well as i do that there are new business websites and annoying emails about new business websites posted on the internet everyday! So who is checking these sites to see if they are real or SCAMS? This is the question that goes unanswered everyday. But the answer is: They are not being checked! With so many out there, it would b
(3) When you start seeing some customers as more valuable than others, based on order size, or profit margins, you’re getting too analytical. Leave the numbers crunching to management, or forget about it, altogether. Inevitably, in my experience, when I start thinking that some of my clients aren’t as cool as others, suddenly I have to work especially hard to get any new ones aboard.
(4) Build into your schedule relaxation breaks, but make them short, yet thorough. If you can afford it, get away for the weekend. Look into one of the cheap internet travel packages and fly somewhere, or just pack a bag and take the car somewhere without any idea of where you’re heading. I assure you that you’ll feel you got away, and you’ll be refreshed.
(5) Realize that we’re creatures of habit. We shape habits, and then they shape us. What kinds of habits are you forming right now? When you feel stuck in any rut, that’s the time to change your routine. Eat in new places, drive a different route to work, go to bed or get up two hours earlier. All of these things will help you to see that your behavior patterns are your choice, and you can change them at any time.
These are some things that work for me. They help me to maintain the “ecology” of motivation, so I don’t get too high or too low for my own good!
