I received a phone call today from a competitor who pretended to be a prospect.  I of course — being me—– understood this right off the bat.  I played their game for a few minutes and when I didn’t give her what she wanted…. she got very upset and hung up on me…  I didn’t even realize I had been hung up on.  Again — me being me — I called back to a very upset woman who had been lying through out the whole conversation about her true intentions and how dare I call her back after calling me???  WOW….  What they don’t realize is …. I have good relationships with my clients and we take care of them.  We go above and beyond and do things that others won’t do. I highly recommend building quality relationships and becoming friends with clients… and clients becoming friends… it’s in my opinion…. THE only way to go.

It’s amazing what goes on out there.  The economy is bad and some people think they have to do dirty, underhanded things to succeed.  Guess what people??? You don’t.  Whatever happened to “Do unto others…. ” ?

When people don’t know what you are all about… the simplest emotion for them to feel is fear. The simplest thing they can do is talk negatively about you. 2010 – try to let go of the fear and rejoice in the success of others. -FB quote HAC

In the start of this new year…. be happy for others’ successes.  Do your own thing and create your own business.  There is plenty of it to go around if you just look hard enough.  (If you don’t know how — call me — I can help you with that.) 

Be careful what you give to others.  Make sure it’s from the heart… Make sure it won’t come back to haunt you.  I think this video is great and I love the message behind it.  It really comes down to the golden rule.  Treat others and do unto others …. right?  Maybe that is a stretch here.  Maybe not.  Just make sure you don’t give what you can’t GIVE or don’t really want to give.  Make sure you don’t end up hiding from your gifts.  You might want to make sure you are prepared to give what you promised.  It all comes down to your heart.  If you give something…. you better mean it.
