HOW TO “CONNECT” WITH PEOPLE

2/17/2021

0 Comments

 
In this post you will learn some simple, effective ways to connect with even the most difficult
people. This post will help build your confidence when meeting new people or when reconnecting with difficult people.  Guaranteed!

  • Enter into the conversation with an open mind. Assume that you have something valuable to learn from this person. Remember, everyone is an expert in something.
 
  • Actively listen. Listen with the intention to UNDERSTAND, not to REPLY. I repeat, listen with the intention to understand where the other person is coming from, NOT TO REPLY.
 
  • Ask open ended questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How.
 
  • Let your thoughts come and go. Release them as quickly as they come into your mind so you can actively be listening. It is not possible to “hear” what the other person is saying if your mind is full and contemplating what you want to say next. Be present. Stay in the moment.
 
  • If there is something you don't know, then say you don't know. Nobody likes a “know it all.”
 
  • Try not to make their experience yours, unless it is truly relevant and helpful to make that connection. Let them have and share their story. Everyone's story is unique and individual.
 
  • IT IS NOT ABOUT ME. Please remember this. Make it all about them. Make them feel special.  Be sincere about this and they will never forget you and how you made them feel.
 
  • Last but not least, be sincerely interested in other people and always be prepared to be amazed!
Happy Connecting!

SELF EMPLOYED AND FEELING STUCK

2/2/2021

Are you self employed ? Maybe part of an MLM?  Was your business on a good roll but now for some reason you're feeling “stuck” or “stagnant” and can't seem to get out of your rut?  If so, this post is for you!  We will cover some simple ways to shift your energy to get you “unstuck” and back in your “happy zone.”

First, do something that has nothing to do with your business. Remember, everything is energy and if you feel stagnant with your business – then a sure way to reverse that is to put your attention on something more pleasing.  This will move your energy in a more positive direction.  Example:  Do something you love (go buy a fresh bouquet of flowers, get outside for a walk in nature, grab your journal and start writing, call a friend who is a high vibrating soul, do some yoga, take a bath, etc.)


Once you feel somewhat better sit in a place of quiet stillness and ask yourself the following: (Grab your journal and take notes).  “What are the favorite parts of my business?”  “Why did I decide to go into this business?”  “What's my WHY?”  “What am I really good at and passionate about?”  “What feeds my soul?”  “Have I been listening to others and comparing myself rather than following my own  intuition and doing what I feel is best?”  “Am I following my heart and my loves or am I listening to others?”

Next, reflect on the things you were doing in your self care arena when things were flowing with your business.  What is different lately? Do your best to identify when you first started getting off  track.  Possibly you've neglected your morning ritual or gotten off track with daily exercise, or maybe you've been eating more junk foods and not drinking enough water, getting to bed too late and not getting enough sleep... You get the picture.

Sometimes it's OK to just feel stuck. We are not meant to always be “ON.”  Please re-read this statement and let it sink in. The key is to give yourself a time frame to be off track, and then hop back on when your time is up.  This might be an hour, a day, or a week.  Just remember, “what we resist persists.”  So if you resist when you're stuck and pressure yourself to keep forging forward, you will make matters worse.  The magic happens when we create space, in our minds and in our physical environment.  Our answers lie in the quiet, magical places of stillness and creativity.

And who doesn't want to have some magic happening in their life?
