OK, world watch out, I'm coming back! I'm getting back into the swing of things!
I've been floundering for the last few years (even in the good years). I have not been at the top of my game. Lots of BFEs aka Big Fat Excuses. Some valid, some not. This is not the time to dwell on them. I debated on whether to even post this. I know the cardinal rule is never to show one's weakness. I decided to do so anyways knowing that I'm probably not alone. This is the first installment of many more postivie changes. I hope it can be of some encouragement to you, as well as to me. It's time to Tee up!
One of the new adventures that I have taken on with my daughter is going to the public library. I came across this book, You've Only Got Three Secondsby Camille Lavington and Stephanie Losee. I cringed. I knew I'd be facing my daemons. Why should I go back to trying to be someone I'm not? Yet, deep down, I know I need to work on this "1st impression" of mine. I checked the book out and even though the truth hurt a bit, Ms. Lavington had some very blunt but good points. Mainly, I can still be myself! One of the best things that I came away with is that the "take or leave it attitude" is going to end up with the "leave it". When I make these changes, it will be for myself, for my self confidence and to make interactions with clients, friends and family easier for ME. My first impression is for ME!
I can't change everything overnight. I definitely can't immediately shed the 100+ pounds that I need to loose. There are things I can change faster!
I'm taking buyers out tomorrow, the first real buyers that I have been working with for a while. They have to be in my car. If you would have seen my car last week, you would have told me just to skip town!
This week, they can come in my car and I will not feel embarrassed. Between filling two 30 gallon trash bags (don't ask) last week to getting down to using q-tips for cleaning today - I'm ready! Still needs some work, but it is presentable and I can focus at showing them properties and not worrying what they think of my car!
If you are in a slump, what are you doing to get out? I'd love to know!
