What makes
a success? Is it years of experience? The most up-to-date equipment? The
best product at the lowest price? The easiest territory? Sure, all of
those factors can help one become successful but, even if everything else
is in place, if you have the wrong attitude, you won’t be a success.
Success is a matter of outlook. If you know
that you will be a success, if you envision it every night as you go to
sleep, you will be successful. It all comes down to your Mind
Set.
Successful
people are those who:
Make
their own luck. They work hard, they don’t give up, and they don’t
let minor setbacks slow them down.
Invent
ways to solve problems. They create fresh ideas and look for new
approaches to old dilemmas.
Never
sacrifice integrity for a sale. They know that no sale, no matter how
important it seems at the time, is more important than your reputation.
Dot
every “i” and cross every “t.” They know that million dollar
deals can, and are, lost because someone dropped the ball or assumed
that a detail had been handled. They make sure every loose end is tied.
See
their career as just that, a career, a profession. They don’t see it
as a job or something they must do to pay the bills.
Examine
new ways to increase sales, commissions, and customer satisfaction. They
are never satisfied with the status quo and are always looking to
improve.
Take
advantage of every book, library, URL, magazine, colleague, person, and
opportunity that presents itself. They understand that every day is an
occasion to learn and improve.
So,
remember, it’s all in your head. The best product at the lowest price
and a top-notch support system are valuable, but the road to success
starts with you.
