I'm talking about lead generating of course. Sounds easy but if it doesn't come naturally to you, its quite the challenge to acquire the "skills". Most of the work I've done previously was along the lines of customer service, where people came to you needing a solution to a problem, needing information or even to complain sometimes but the point is THEY came to ME. Next thing I know, I need to figure out how to turn myself into a lead generating machine! No easy task i assure you, especially when you've never had to do it.

The one thing I've heard over and over is: get your mind right. Heard it a lot, never believed it. I didn't think it had anything to do with the state my mind was in! Its not usually the case, but boy wasIi wrong! It has to start in the mind. Its almost like a game. A very uncomfortable, icky feeling game! I was told today by our team leader that I needed to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Greeeaaaaat! There's nothing like getting out of your comfort zone and pushing yourself to an uncomfortable zone to then make that zone your new comfort zone. You know??

So even though I'm not good at approaching people, asking for business, finding the business, I know that I better get good. And fast. I think (actually I'm really hoping..) that making the switch in my mind and getting it right will be half the battle. I'm sure it'll become second nature after a while. Right?? Please tell me I'm right!!
