As a coach, I am hearing stories every day of salespeople and entrepreneurs who are making decisions coming from a “desperate” versus a “deliberate” perspective. If we don’t be careful, we can be snared in the doubt that is spiraling down, down, down. The worse thing that you can do is take yourself down the “self-doubt spiral.”
Before you make any decisions to invest money in one more sales call reluctance coach, one more workshop, one more CD, one more book, one more retreat, one more MLM, one more franchise opportunity, one more sales training program. . . just stop for a minute and take yourself on a retreat. Slow down, get calm before you make one more costly desperate decision hoping that it is going to save you and give you something you do not already have.
You already know in your heart of hearts what is the wise next step for you. When you breathe and get present, you will get answers that are beyond your thinking about them. We can over-think when we are in fear.
It’s not your current situation that is causing you anxiety, it is your thought about it.
Sometimes it’s just good to say to yourself: Peace be still.
