So its a little tough to distinguish between #1 and #3. You cant lean to far in either direction and thats what makes things difficult. In my personal opinion you should lean further away from the bombarding side of it. Of course thats just my 2 cents.

Jawaad- Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so glad to see that you’ve learned early on that it’s all about relationships..because it is so true! One thing that ALWAYS amazes me is when I watch my multi-millionaire friends when they think nobody is watching.

They treat servicepeople (and everybody else) with kindness, ask them how THEY are doing and are genuinely interested in their reply. That relationship building is the foundation of why they are successful men and women.

If you do right by people then all the other success will follow because I believe in Karma!

About formalizing your business- GO FOR IT! The time is now and I urge you to follow your dreams while the time is right.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Nuno- I somehow never got the auto emails saying new comments were added so I’m sorry I’m just now replying to your comment! Speaking without ums and uhs (point #6) can actually be thrown out on a case by case basis. In cases like yours where English isn’t your first language or in special personality types some people can get away with saying ums, uhs, you knows, etc. as long as they speak with CONFIDENCE.

Confidence is key here, but I’m glad you pointed that out because “proper” speaking is not always the best solution for everyone.

Eliminating the ums and ahs from my speaking gives me confidence, but as long as you can effectively get your message across to the person you’re speaking to and speak with conviction and passion you will win them over every time! Thank you for reading!
