Believe, Cheer and Always be Your Best Friend
by It is up to you to make your dreams come true. Do not let anything get in your way.
I was told by another sales manager that 14 is very good for an experienced sales person. I have only had about two weeks of sales training prior to this new job. I was astonished. I think this is partially why I am so terrified. It is somewhat unbelievable to me how much of a natural I was in this particular field. It makes me think was it a fluke? Can I keep it up? Was it just that I was working with the President of the company and his energy helped get my energy going?
I spoke to the President of the company a bit about my worry and he told me that he was energized by my positive attitude as well; that we definitely were able to make the in between “breather” moments better and the sales moments miraculous. I believe he moved 28 units that night. It was an amazing sales night for the both of us. And, he probably sold more with call backs. I still have not had a chance to call back all the people who left their information.
So, I want to at least try it out even though there is still a part of me that wants to run away screaming in terror. I feel that if I run away, I am running away from an opportunity that is a gold mine. I just need to give myself a chance. I need to give myself the space to know that if I do make mistakes I am still wonderful, I am still the same shining person I know I am when I am at my best. I need to truly be my best friend and cheerleader. It seems that for most of us it’s so much easier to cheer our friends on, what we need to learn to do is cheer ourselves on as well.
I must learn to turn trying situations into learning experiences. I need to use my own advice more often and “flip” everything into a positive. I need to build my own self-confidence with every courageous step I take.
Thank you again with all my heart for taking the time to read and share my journey.
Best wishes to all.

This is a very positive piece of writing, which inspired me. You’re right, we are often our worst enemy and need to remember to keep being our own best friend. It sounds, from the article, as if you’ve found yourself exactly the right job. I hope it continues to be a very successful journey for you.
