Through my many years involved in sales and training, I have come to one insurmountable fact - no one will ever come on board with your ideal, product or service if there is no inherent value to the other party. As the saying goes, "Two ears, one mouth". This goes with making friends and alliances as well. If your attention is primarily on yourself, you have no way of discovering what is important to the other person. We, as human beings, like to hear our name, we want attention and to be loved and admired - this is part of our spiritual DNA. So the next time you are in the company of others, put this thought in your mind - they are just like me, in that they want to be heard and appreciated, just like me. This works miracles!
"Remember, that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his problems than he is in you and your problems. His toothache means more to him than a famine in China that kills a million people. A boil on his neck interest him more than forty earthquakes in Africa. Think of that the next time you start a conversation." Dale Carnegie
Also, coming soon to a mind screen near you, the masterfulthoughts blog will be moving to a new domain and site. The site will be loaded with information, insights and tools to assist you in creating miracles in your life.
