Gratitude Increases Sales

Increase your inner peace, happiness and hope …
by living in gratitude.


This is not just Boulder froufrou stuff; there is good research that links gratitude with happiness, contentment, hope and even success.

Gail, a saleswoman, was very frustrated that her sales had plateaued for several years. Even though she was generally a positive person, she said, “I spent a lot time thinking about the sales I didn’t have, how well others were doing and the sales I needed to meet my goals.”

Gail said she “learned about gratitude and began being thankful for the sales I did have, and looking forward to the sales I wanted to get to reach my goals. This was a small, but significant, shift in my thinking, which gave me a more positive attitude. It resulted in attracting people wanting to buy from me, and I then easily reached my goals.”

Gail broke through her plateau not by working harder, or with a new sales technique — she did it simply by being in gratitude. She said, “It’s so simple, it doesn’t seem like being more grateful should increase my sales, but it does. Sales success, like all success, is a mental game.”

It’s best to speak your gratitude out loud;
it’s easy, and the benefits are huge.

With Self-Discipline Comes Freedom and Success

With Self-Discipline
Comes Freedom … and Success

Discipline gets a bad rap because it’s often thought of as abusive, something to fear. However, there are different types of discipline. There’s abusive discipline (think beaten with a stick) and self-abusive discipline (remember the EnCOURAGEment of the self-berating woman who looked in the mirror everyday and said, “You are fat and ugly!”).

But there’s also self-discipline: doing what you commit to do, when you say you will do it. Self-discipline is critical to make your goals your reality. Some entrepreneurs, salespeople, athletes and network marketers have wonderful goals but not much self-discipline — they don’t become high performers. Goals without self-discipline is a wish list.

Every Olympic athlete, elite entrepreneur and top salesperson I know has very high self-discipline. One former Olympic athlete turned real estate agent was earning about $500,000 a year when he asked me to help him “…clean out anything that is blocking my success.” He was so devoted to this that he committed to driving four hours to my office, working deeply for five hours and then driving home again. That's 13 hours he committed to spend each time we worked together! This man’s self-discipline allowed him to easily create emotional and financial freedom and success.

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.”
