It was Friday night the 19th of December and i was in a NO mood....Business has been off about 75% for me the past 3 months ....I was a NO for possibility....
I had seen the commercial for the movie that day and it seemed funny but i saw a message that was more powerful.....I then watched the trailer and decided to see the movie that night.....That day saw the first snow storm of the year / about 6 inches and living in a hilly area i was not sure if it was the wise thing to do driving on slick roads.....
The movie started around 10.40 PM and i was one of a handfull of people there....
I hear NO's all day long in my business and from a varity of people....BUT the biggest culprit that was bogging me down with NO's was ME....The NO's were draining me....I was a NO to making things work in my life....
I have taken many seminars where the idea is to be unstoppable and the mind set is one of being a Warrior.....I have accomplished many things in my life that i never thought i could BUT that is all forgotten when you become the NO MAN.....
Today was a good day....Some call it Snap and Shift.....I have been saying yes to possibility.....I received a call about 2pm today from a Dealership and they asked me if i could come down to look at a car/ whole sale to buy/....Looking out my window at the new snow storm that was just hitting , my first reaction was to say NO......NO would mean no possibilty of making money so i said YES and out the door i went...
The trip was not that bad and when i got there the car was better than i had hoped....I bought it and i believe that it will make a buck......
Please see the movie as we are ALL NO MEN/WOMEN way to often.....I belive that YES MAN is a wake up call.........
WholesaleReady, 1 year ago | FlagSaying yes to to get everyone'sapproval vs saying yes because there are times when it is the right thing to do and saying no really means you are being stingy.... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... ....... Sure , i want people to like me but at the same time if someone is in need of help and i can assist , then i see that as a good deed....Ve ry easy to walk away and say NO .......... .......... .......... .....Yes i have done that with people who are energy vampires/ always taking and never giving back...... .......... .......... .........I have seen the commercial on TV for Yes MAN and it seems even goofier than the flick..... .......... .....The film has left an impact on me because i know that i say No to myself way to often..... ...
WholesaleReady, 1 year ago | FlagBeing bored VS being challenged.... First's are always exciting ..Most times it leaves a knot in your stomach... ..I can not remember anyone who was bored and happy at the same time...... . Challenger s are never depressing when you go for it.....A defeat can be deflating and when i look at it as a NO that is when i get stuck..... Honestly , expecting NO'S are what stops me.....Whe n things are going well a few no's sprinkled in never bothers me.....It is when every answer seems to be a no , that is when i want to stop.... This year i intend to embrace NO'S , and not to be stopped... ..
Shadoe, 1 year ago | FlagPeople always seem to ask me how I got to do what I do and how I've worked with the people I have etc. The one thing I always say is... "What's the worse anyone can say to you... No?" And if they do, I dust myself off and move on. I don't let No stop me with moving forward. See while everyone else is stopping at the No... I'm not and that has always helped me. I very rarely if ever say No to anything. Doing this has really changed my life over the past eight years or so. And even more so in the last seven. Besides that I also believe life is also about "firsts". Some of us have lived for some time now and some times it's difficult to figure out what "firsts" you could do yet... but it's funny, if you really think about it there are still a lot of "firsts". From food to going some place to anything. Again, not doing it is kind of like a No... doing it is a Yes. :) If I say, "Do you want to move mountains this year?" What are you going to say? :)
