Sales Podcast | Step 7 & 8 On How To Build A Healthy Self Image | Help Others & The Mind Group

Summary: Build a positive healthy self-image by helping others without expecting anything in return and choose the people you hang out with carefully. Step 7: This one is an interesting one. Step 7 is to do something for someone else, without expecting any favor in return. Sales fellows we are building a healthy self-image so that we can become a better salesperson, a better husband and a better human being overall. Here are some quick examples of how we can do something for someone else. We can sign up as a volunteer at Salvation Army or Red Cross. We can donate blood. We can visit a sick person at their residence of the hospital. We can opt to babysit for a single parent, giving them a break to go out and do things they like to do. Become a big brother to an orphan. Visit the senior’s home and read them a book. If you know a graduate entering the job market, we can enhance their interview skills, or work on their resume making it more presentable. Just remember you do not want any compensation or the person or persons you are assisting should be in a position to return any favor back to you. Believe me, when you will give something without expecting anything in return, yes the recipient will feel amazing, that is true, however the feeling you will get is completely indescribable. Gratitude. You will realize that you how fortunate your are and you will not complain. You will be grateful for little things and you will feel that you have a lot to be thankful for in your life. Being selfless will make you feel good about yourself. You will feel that you are somebody, somebody who can make a contribution in other peoples lives. Now let’s move on to the step 8 out of 15 in building a healthy self-image. Step 8: Choose your associates carefully John Lee Dumas uses this quote over and over that “You are the average of five people you hang out with.” Hang out with a high moral character who look on the bright side of life in all aspects, how much will you benefit from it? A good example supposes you are a person who is always late and you start hanging out with people who are punctual and start everything on time. Guess what? Two three times that you notice, hey they do not wait for me, you will also become punctual and develop a positive habit. Hang out with someone who exercises regularly, chances are you will push yourself too and start exercising. In Asian culture, our parents always scan our friends closely. They say you are known by the company you keep. It is absolutely true. You acquire much of the thinking, manners, and characteristics of the people you are around. Trust me if all the other professionals in the world took sales training and had to sell for living for three months, our country will become even greater. Why? Just think about it. In the sales profession, what do you hear the most from trainers, coaches, managers, and associates? Yes, “You can do it”. They make you believe that YOU CAN DO IT. Be careful and pick out those people who are optimistic and enthusiastic about life and I guarantee you will see those traits in yourself over a period of time. In his book “Think and Grow Rich” Napoleon Hill has a full chapter on this subject. He calls it “The Mind Group” Napoleon Hill brings three key benefits of handing out with the crowd. 1. Infinite Intelligence 2. Accumulated Experience 3. Experiment and Research Quote By John C. Maxwell an American author who has written a number of books on leadership. Excellent content to consume.
