Reparenting and Sales

Have you ever really asked yourself what it takes to succeed in life?? In business, sales or personal relationships?? Have you ever been ridden with self-doubt and questioned your abilities to move forward, upward or attain the level of success you dream of?

There are natural fears.? It is part of being human.? However, successful people push themselves despite ALL obstacles including themselves.? Sometimes it comes at a very hefty price, but they keep moving forward.? Think of all the obstacles any great person you’ve admired overcame.? The greater the success sometimes comes with the most seemingly insurmountable challenges.? Those roadblocks build courage, endurance and character in people who choose to do it anyway.??

It’s a choice.

As a longtime fan of RuPaul, I have placed my first day of school picture as my cellphone wallpaper.? RuPaul suggests reparenting yourself to heal and overcome past damages from life experiences.? Having a childhood picture as a cellphone wallpaper is a reminder to encourage that inner child within that everything is going to be okay.? You look at it and say, “Love you Boo!!? You're doing great!!”? Or something similar to stimulate your subconscious mind.

I remember this day clearly.? It was filled with hope, illusion and optimism about my future.? I was definitely not like other kids in my class, but I was determined to succeed in life despite not fitting in.

Reparenting is the act of giving yourself what you didn’t receive as a child.        

I recommend looking into reparenting because it deals with essential issues within sales:

• Communication
• Self-Sabotage
• Identity
• Self-Worth

I am not a psychologist or therapist, so I will not even begin to explain these topics, but I recommend exploring them in general. These are highly personal situations definitely worth attention, and they are great journaling and fine-tuning topics for anyone. Although, I believe a crucial step in the process is to not blame our parents or anyone else to begin with.

There are many people in my life that have witnessed both my struggles and triumphs.? They are sometimes in awe of what I have overcome and how I keep going no matter how hard I fall.? I truly believe in seeing it as falling down ten times and getting up eleven.? When I’m particularly beat up, I say, “You should see the other guy!” to myself.? I keep going.??

Success in sales takes relentlessness from within.? There are far more no responses than yes.? It requires being coated with Teflon sometimes and laughing or shaking negativity off.? It takes resilience.? It takes stamina.? It can be done!

Believe in yourself Boo!!? You got this!!
