REFLECTION

Did you know that you are a mirror? You betcha! Except your mirror reflects what's inside of you, not what's outside.

Think about it... have you ever slammed your finger in a drawer? The pain you were feeling was reflected in the way you acted, the things you said, and how you were perceived by the people around you at the time!

While folks don't generally go around slamming their fingers into drawers, they do get exposed to different situations and issues that cause inner feelings to be reflected outward. Those then, become the things upon which you are judged by your peers, your work team and your customers.

In this challenging economy, it is easy to become discouraged when you don't get the business you want and deserve. The problem with letting it discourage you is you begin to reflect your feelings on the outside and others around you pick up on it and become discouraged as well.

Would YOU want to do business with someone that has an obvious negative outlook on life?

What do you want your customers to see and feel when they are around you? What image do you want to project? The best way to prevent reacting to a situation is to be proactive. Project the image you want people to see. Be positive. Be happy. Be confident, regardless of what is going on around you.

The results will be amazing!
