It only takes one...

Several weeks ago, I was in the midst of discussions with my regional boss. We were of course bantering back and forth about numbers and the region's different stores and the mix of people in those stores. Being in sales, we are all competing for the same magic thing...customer's loyalty.

Attitudes of different sales consultants were of course addressed (the "poor me" syndrome is infamous amongst commissioned sales) and he said something very interesting to me. He said, "Tiffany, it only takes one. It only takes one person in a store to change the feel of a workplace, it only takes one good customer to turn your month around, it only takes one good experience to revive hope within the desperate individual."

Wow...amongst numbers, and customer issues, long winded sales pitches, computer crashes...the true insides of sales emerges...people.

In the media frenzied world, where loyalty is rare and where true service is at a price, we have an opportunity to be that one person...that one thing that turns around a situation.

Yesterday, I taught this same philosophy to someone who is feeling very overwhelmed in her situation. She covered her heart with her hand and said, "What can I do? What can one person do to change what is around us?" I told her very clearly, "Find one good thing in every person and every situation and magnify it ten-fold. That goodness will fuel you to continue to see more and more good."

This blog isn't a "feel good, everything is warm and fuzzy, rosie sunglasses"...this is truly about how one by one we can change the world. Tweaking our attitudes, seeing the very best in every situation, tackling problems with clarity and optimism, and staying fired up for life-this is what I want to teach through this blog. A passionate exciting life is reachable for all of us! We linger in dead space sometimes...the should haves, the would haves, the can't haves. Regroup...and renew your mind. Today is now. Rejoin life with an excitement and tap into that inner fuel!
