When you get down because selling is a
tough career choice.
Be grateful that your earning potential is
only limited by your personal efforts (assuming of course, you earn
commission).
If you spend a lot of time behind the
wheel of a car or in an airplane.
Be grateful that you have this opportunity
compared to people who are confined to working in an unpleasant environment
(toll collectors' jump to mind).
When you face those challenging and
difficult customers.
Be grateful for these opportunities to
improve your skills and keep learning.
Competition gets tougher every year.
Be grateful that you have so many
resources (books, blogs, YouTube, newsletters, etc.) that can teach you how to
stand out from the competition.
It seems that price is more of a focus.
Be grateful when you engage a decision
makers in a conversation about the value you can bring to their organization
rather than a price discussion.
It's stressful striving for sales targets
every month or quarter.
Be grateful you have this challenge
because there are many highly-qualified people who would just love to have a
job.
And now, on a personal note...

absolutely love.

I'm grateful that my clients push me to
learn more and improve my own sales knowledge and training skills.

family who loves me unconditionally.

Lastly, I am grateful to all my
readers who point out my typos! Send me questions and offer suggestions for

"Sometimes life knocks you on your ass...
get up, get up, get up!!! Happiness is not the absence of problems; it's the
ability to deal with them."
