People Buy You, Not What You Are Selling

Ever wonder why some people always seem to have luck and others don't?  They get the promotions, the girls (or guys), the good projects, best tables at restaurants, free tickets, etc.

One reason could be the way they present themselves.  Take stock of what you are doing:

• How do you stand?  
• How do you project your voice?  
• How do you walk?  
• How do you dress? 
• How do you shake hands?
• Do you ask for what you want?

Do you have the confidence to stand, walk and talk for success?  Your posture and voice should say, "I get what I want because you want to give it to me."

Having a purpose and something to believe in help build the confidence.  What ever it is that you are doing today for a job is your job because it is what you chose to do.  If you are not happy, choose a way to enjoy what you are doing.  If you are not getting the promotions, maybe it is because you are not doing your job with enough passion to make your supervisors think you could do a more important job well enough.  You have to show that you are successful at whatever you do.  People like to be around other successful people.  Be successful at your current job, feel the purpose and be happy in the moment.

I love going to Chick Fil-A because the young people working there are trained to be so polite.  It seems like they love their job.  If I had a job opening, I would want to look for the person there that seems to  love their job most because they appear to love their work. They are trainable and like working and that is what I would need in an employee.
