What is RIGHT for you?

What is RIGHT for you?

Everybody has an opinion on what you could or should do.  The key is to find out what is right for you.

When I was a successful national account rep, everyone had plenty of expectations and advice for me as to how I should go about selling. What did I do? I figured out a way to make things work for me, the customer and my bosses.

The first expectation was that I had to visit customers in person.  Since I worked national accounts, that meant I “should” be traveling.  I hated to travel for business. The airports, the flight hours, the navigation in strange cities alone…I didn’t like any of it. That’s what was expected and I hated the pressure. I didn’t want to end up grumpy, anxious with too much to do, depressed, and end up hating a job I loved, so I had to figure out a different way that felt “right” to me.

The second thing was, because we manufactured custom orders, and I was getting overloaded being the company’s highest producer, so I suggested that I could use an assistant. After trying out about five temp assistants that didn’t seem to cut it, I questioned, did I just want to be the only woman in the sales department? I mean, why were none of these assistants efficient enough, and to make it worse, how was this helpful if I had to watch them to make sure they did their job?  The whole point of getting an assistant was to get a good one who knows their job, is capable and doesn’t need supervision.  They didn’t feel “right” to me!

Then came, “the one”. She was smart, focused, extremely efficient, and within a few days, I realized I could give her ANYTHING and feel safe knowing it would get taken care of without a second thought about it from me. Heaven…

There was something else I did with regularity when trying to close a customer.  I would think to myself, “I’m going to get this one. I’m not sure how, but I will get this one!”  The intent was set!

What happened? I didn’t travel but I developed great cold calling phone skills that allowed me to cut through to the decision makers, and sell them over the phone.  You might be thinking that they must’ve been rinky dinky companies, right? Wrong!  I closed a contract with Disney in FL without ever visiting them!

As for the assistant dilemma, I not only got an assistant by listening to my gut feelings, but she and I worked as a well-oiled machine team and we kicked butt!  I ended up selling 50% of the company’s income despite the fact that there were four other sales reps!  I did what I was great at and she did what she was great at and we both got what we wanted…and so did the company and customer!

What is my message here? There are plenty of programs that will tell you the 1, 2, 3 steps of how to do this or that but do they feel right for you? If not, then you’ve got to get clear and focus on what you want and what feels right to you.  This is your life to figure out to the best of your ability.

I cannot stress this enough. When something doesn’t feel good for you, there is usually an automatic response that goes something like, but I work for them and they have all the power. Ah, but you have the power of energy if you are tapping. What do I mean?  Since I started implementing my Design Your Life strategy with clients, I have seen miracles show up as if by magic.

What made me powerful in sales? I got clear about what I wanted, and then I figured out how I wanted it to look. I didn’t know tapping back then, but I was stubborn enough to know what I needed, which would give me comfort to do a bang up job. I was focused on what I needed and not what they told me I needed to do.  That focus gave me POWER.

What if you can’t do that? What if you aren’t clear about what you want? Then what? Have you heard me rave about tapping? It clears out your energy, and it lines you up so that you can be congruent with what you want and how to get it.  If you’ve never seen or experienced the power of tapping, try out a few of my free videos. They are short but even in a few minutes, you might feel some shift, some ease in how you are feeling and some lift to your energy. The most common description I hear is, “I feel lighter”.

Yes, there can be quick results, but more often, there will be subtle, yet powerful changes that build on each other. Sometimes they are so subtle that the client doesn’t even notice that there is a change happening.  That’s one of the reasons that I have clients fill out an intake form.  When issues leave, we forget we had them so I am happy to help clients recall what used to be in the way, and what is shifting.

If you are loaded with angers, fears, resentments, regrets, shame, guilt…you name a negative emotion, then you cannot focus or create when you are reacting.  When in a fight or fearful pattern, do you know that the brain shuts off from creative ideas and can only focus on “getting out of there” when you feel a threat?  How are you supposed to create when all you can think about is how much your boss picks on you, or how much your partner or family shoots down your ideas that get you excited?

I cannot tell you how beneficial clearing out your energy can be for those kinds of circumstances.  If you are getting triggered by them, that is YOUR issue, not theirs.  When we feel threatened, we go into resistance and into the “fight or flight mode”.  Does that create peace and joy in you?  Heck no, so what do you do about it?

Look into my products to help you, or work with me as your tapping coach.  If you are swirling in energy loops, you often times cannot see what you are subconsciously doing or how to stop them.  Do you even know how to put yourself first?  If not, try out my cost effective tapping audio and tap along!  I will teach you and help you remove those automatic blocks that won’t allow you to consider the value of putting yourself first!  It’s so important and yet incredibly difficult for many people to do.

Tapping looks easy, but it is a pretty sophisticated technique when you know how to use it to get to the bottom of patterns and clear out stuck emotions.

So, what do you think? The New Year is right around the corner.  Will you be happy staying where you currently are doing the same old, same old? If you are happy, tapping can enhance your life to keep the momentum going.  If you are stuck but want more pleasure, more reward, and more inner peace, then you will have to do something different.  Yes, you could keep waiting, but did you see how fast this year went?

Life is not waiting for you.
