How to be Successful In Sales: Make Your Luck
Some people have an
inexplicable amount of good luck. Even during tough times, they’re successful
in their careers, finances, and their personal lives without seemingly having
to overcome the adversities that plague most of us. They don’t appear to be
smarter or more talented, but they do seem to be blessed with some force of
nature that consistently produces good fortune.
There are some
obvious measures of luck such as winning a lottery or being born into royalty,
but for most lucky individuals, good fortune is not a random occurrence. It
truly has to do with having the mindset that encourages and allows lucky events
to occur.
Do lucky people act
differently? Some recent studies have shown that they tend to have certain
personality traits in common that play a pivotal role in producing luck. These
so-called “lucky” individuals have been shown to be more extroverted, positive
and open-minded, and less anxious than their less fortunate counterparts.
While having a
winning personality certainly helps. There is one additional factor that can
determine one’s ability to be lucky. It’s opportunity. Lucky people tend to
create more opportunities for themselves to connect with others and socially
interact. Anyone can improve their luck by welcoming new opportunities in their
lives. These four strategies can help:
Open Up to
Receive Opportunities
Opportunities can
happen at anytime, anywhere. The more you make yourself available to receive
them, the more likely they will come your way. How can you accelerate your
opportunities? Network, take up a new hobby, join a group, reconnect with old
colleagues, and even talk to the guy behind you in the grocery store line.
Being friendly, relaxed, and interested in others will open yourself to many new
opportunities.
Reacquaint
Yourself with Your Inner-You
You have an
intuition and gut feelings for a reason. They’re your internal compass to guide
you on your life’s path. With the hectic pace of life, it can be hard to hear
your inner-you. Take time out of each and every day to clear your mind, unwind,
and even meditate to be able to effectively make the necessary decisions that
will encourage luck to come your way.
Have Confidence
in the Future
Lucky people are
inherently optimistic. They expect good things to happen to them. Both negative
and positive expectations can be self-fulfilling prophecies. So, doesn’t it
just make sense to stay positive, and through your consistently upbeat
thoughts, you’ll create your own luck in the coming days, months, and years.
Make Lemonade
Even lucky
individuals are dealt lemons from time to time. It’s what you do with them that
will make all the difference. Develop techniques to cope with the negative
aspects of life and don’t ruminate over past problems. Move forward and stay
positive.
While you can’t
will yourself to win the lottery, you can control your mindset. So-called
unlucky individuals can transform themselves if they have the desire and drive
to do so. It takes conscious effort to be positive and make the best of a
situation. It takes an open mind to be accepting of new ideas. It takes a smile
and the desire to connect with others to welcome new opportunities.

I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing

- Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:-
You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.
