Bottom Line Your Worst Bad Day
George asked how I handle “bad situations” or “bad days”. He grinned when I relayed that my “bad day marker” is about as bad as it can get, therefore everything else seems good. That particular marker was my having endured a broken neck. Even worse, I was told the best case would be my surviving surgery only to be paralyzed. Therefore, for me, all other stressful situations, such as a computer crashing, seem relatively good.
The point here is that each situation is only relative. When a seemingly bad day appears, take time to examine the cause from all angles. Most bad days are due to setbacks, but these may be overcome with analysis, study, and asking for help.
On the occasion you do arrive at a bad day, examine whether the challenge may be surpassed. In fact, I suggested to George that upon looking back after the event, you may recognize the hurdle as a gift. When you are determined to get passed whatever is blocking you and find a way around it, you will find you have far surpassed where you previously were.
Without these hurdles, life would be dull and advances would be slow in coming. Using this mindset to overcome that which is thrown in your path, will have others turn heads to admire your work. Your determination and improved outcome are your personal brand as well as underlying marketing messaging that you are the right force with whom to be working.
Bottom lining your bad day will lead you to the Smooth Sale!
