Sales isnt easy but dont get negative - No Complaining either!!

Economy sucks, sales suck, customers are being tough, no money, rejection, negativity........sound familiar? All of this is what you all signed up for. Being in SALES. This is the small downside but the upside is you get to pretty much determine your destiny on how much money you would like to make and where your career moves towards. But it's easier said then done. It is very easy to get stuck in a rut of negativity. Realize that is isn't that bad. You have your health. You have your family. You are standing vertical each morning. ;). Quick story. I was on the train this morning and there was a man seated to my left across the train. He was a well dressed man with a nice watch, groomed nice and presented himself well. He was working on his laptop and all seemed normal. Until he moved in his seat to attach his right leg.  Yes.  I said ATTACH his leg.  Which I could not see at first. He had lost his right leg and needed a prosthetic leg to walk for crying out loud. And we have the balls to complain.  No way!!!!  Remember if you get negative just remember you can get up everyday and walk around normally without any help.  This man has to WEAR a leg everyday. Think about that for a second.  Stay positive. Life always works out in the end!!!
