Live like you are already a success

Have you ever dressed in business casual and gone into a store, and noticed that people treat you differently. Everytime I dress up (opposed to my usual shorts and a t-shirt) people seem to treat me better. They treat me like I am more important, that my being in the store is more important then anyone else there. You know what, I like the feeling I get from being treated as someone important. It leaves with a feeling of wanting more. It is kind of self full filling actually. Because I see myself as being an important person. I believe that what I have to offer is benefical to my customers. Therefore, I feel like I deserve the respect I get at the stores.

Oh yeah, on a somewhat different topic. I have decided that I am going to start treating my sales career like a game. I am going to setup a finish line for myself. Everytime I make a sale I'll move my token closer to the goal. Every setback I will treat like a go back two spaces card. It may be a minor slow down as work toward the finish line, but it i will never let myself quit. There are too many big ticket goals that I need to reach to ever even think about not making it to the finish line.
