Help! I suck at sales!

I got a post done yesterday.  Yay! I learned more about the relationship between breathing and epilepsy, I watched a youtube video on trading and what to look for when you are trading. Yesterday's trading was meh...I watched a video today from urban trading and I'm going to do one hour trading today. I programmed my phone to only look at the candles right before the hour and right after the hour, so I'm not glued to my screen freaking out about each pip. I started listening to the Accelerated Sales Success audio again.  I was consistent for almost a month and now I'm hopping back on the Think Right Now train.  I want to stay consistent for six months and see if I can't earn a living off of sales. It is a bit tricky since my job isn't in sales and the one that I had in sales, I was fired from. However, my blog is somewhat of a sales machine and some of the affirmations can help with trading psychology, etc. It looks like it will be a bright, sunny day outside ...

I worked on my taxes yesterday and got them done. I had dinner with a friend, who actually gave me some great perspective regarding sales. I have been slacking on listening to Accelerated Sales Success. It is about a month in and I haven't made any sales and got fired from the job that I did have over the phone. My strengths aren't in calling people though. I know that I have difficulty with phone conversations. I was hoping to quickly overcome it and make tons of sales, but perhaps my sales will come in the form of online sales. I enjoy creating things like blog posts and videos, so that would make sense. I worked on my trading yesterday. While I wasn't overly successful, I had some great insights into why I am not succeeding yet. I will get better. I will master sales. I am a master trader. I am an intelligent trader. I am incredibly confident. These are the words that I'm listening to throughout the day. I believe in myself completely.

Getting back on track is always hard. However, I wrote two blog posts today! My goal is to get a video created and two more posts. I want to do twenty posts this week. One set back for me was that I had to go to Costco with my mother, which always mentally puts me out of the writing state. I need to learn how to focus and tell people no without worrying about what they will think.

So, since I got fired from the cold calling job, I spent some time reflecting on sales. I'm excellent at writing and I actually enjoy it a lot more than calling people. So, I'm going to focus on filling out my website this week.  I'm going to focus on my trading. Instead of trying everything under the sun, I'm going to focus on these two things this week. The other thing that I'm going to focus on is going to be improving my health. I'm going to work out more each day, improve my breathing and do the ketogenic diet. I'm setting a goal of writing 20 pages or posts this week.  That's biting off a lot, but I know that I can easily do a post per day.  This will push me to writing 4 posts per day. Today, I'm doing research on topics to write about this week and keywords to include.

I missed a day of blogging and vlogging.  I also missed listening to my accelerated sales success audio.  I'm bummed about that, but I'm getting back on track. I was hoping that the positive affirmations would help me stay on track, but I guess I got derailed when I had to get a new phone and load everything up into the new phone.  That is okay. I'm going to just get back on track and start creating more content. I didn't hear back from Merchant Capital Store regarding my employment with them. However, I found another telemarketing job that I can do over spring break. I printed out the application this morning and plan on scanning it to them this evening or tomorrow morning. Hopefully, I will get hired and be able to make phone calls all next week.  If not, I've got lots of things to do in order to improve my online selling via my review website. I was able to make successful trades today! I also found some other online trading affirmations that I can listen to as...

I was able to get the sales audio on to my iphone this morning. I listened to a bunch of affirmations that I found on trading while I was doing that. I'm not quite sure which direction I should take. I read that you should only focus on one goal at a time. I'm using these thought/behavior modifications to increase my confidence. It isn't where it needs to be yet and I'm not quite having the success that I want to see, but I am doing something that some people don't do. I'm persisting. I'm working through the trials and learning as much as I can.

So, I had to upgrade my phone and I lost the ability to play the audio on my phone.  I'm working on getting it off my computer onto my iphone, but the computer isn't recognizing the iphone in itunes.  So, sadly the experiment of Accelerated Sales Success takes another detour.  I will hopefully get that cued up again, but I'm bummed that I don't have it now.
