Sales - The Biggest Mind Game in Top Home Based Franchises - Mastering Your Emotions, Can You Do It?
Og Mandino teaches about the value and the importance of mastering your emotions for success in sales, in your home based franchise and in your life.
There is a lot to be learned in this simple statement of mastering emotions and I am going to break it down into three categories.
Let's talk about the Natural Laws Of The Universe where you learn the Law of Polarity.
The Law of Polarity states that everything in the universe has its opposite.
Where there is sadness, there is happiness.
Where there is fear there is strength, where there is inferior there is superior.
The bottom line is that if you allow your negative thoughts to control your actions...
you will typically always lose.
You will be on the winning side in life and for your home based franchise only when you force your positive actions to control your thoughts.
Your thoughts are the key...
so when you are feeling depressed...
force yourself to smile, sing fun songs or play with your dog.
I personally love to go for a run.
When you feel sad...
laugh...
Trust me laughter is contagious especially when you laugh in an empty room.
I've done it, I have felt ridiculous and because I feel so ridiculous I laugh even harder.
Go ahead; just try it! If you feel poverty...
just think and dream about the wealth and success in your home based franchise that is yours in the weeks and months ahead.
It is about your thoughts.
Whatever negative thoughts creep into your feelings, immediately change them and think the entire opposite.
Conversely our emotions can be also of over confidence, over indulgence, overly proud.
Sometimes these emotions can cause just as much if not more harm to us and to our home based franchise because we fail to recognize how they negatively can affect us.
When you become over confident that all is going well in your home based franchise, remember your past struggles and challenges.
If you ate too much last night, remember when you didn't have enough money to buy a hot dog.
If you become incredibly wealthy...
and I hope that you do...
remember not too long ago the feeling that you had when you didn't know where you were going to get the money to pay the rent.
Never and I mean never get too cocky when everything is going terrific for you because once you do...
the tendency is to not take continued and persistent daily action, create activity and when that happens, your home based franchise empire will come crumbling down.
Don't get me wrong...
enjoy it, love it, but never get too confident that everything will now be as they currently are.
Seldom do things remain constant.
Finally, it's very important that you do not forget the emotions of other people.
Now that you understand and control your emotions, don't think that everyone can do the same.
Don't judge someone on just one or two meetings.
Don't think because a prospect has said no to you today that tomorrow would be the same response.
Don't be put off by someone who is having a bad day...
tomorrow they may be having the best day of their life.
The key is to recognize that you and everyone else have different moods and emotions.
Moods and emotions change from day to day and from minute to minute.
It is when you can control your emotions and thoughts by the minute and by the day, and when you can understand the moods of others that you will then be able to create the success in sales, in your home based franchise and control your ultimate destiny.
