In any business, posture is a big part of what stands between your success or failure. A few days ago we talked about not being emotionally attached to the outcome of whether or not the prospect says yes or no. Well, posture and not being attached to the outcome really go hand in hand. You have to master both of these to have the best chance of success in your business.
So what does it mean to have posture?
It means you are unshakable. The inability to be discouraged or swayed. It means that you have a solid belief in what you are doing and you don’t shake in your shoes and collapse when someone says something negative or someone doesn’t believe in what you are doing. You just move on. To succeed, you need to believe it regardless of what others think, and you need to stand firm on that belief.
So how do you do that?
Well first of all, it takes time. It takes dedication and consistency. It takes personal growth training and lots of it. My favorite for building posture is industry trainer, Dani Johnson. You can do a free 30 day bootcamp at smarternetworker.com that is amazing and will teach you posture and so much more.
Posture is something you learn over time through personal development, but until then, sometimes you just got to put it on like you do your pants. Before you go out there and prospect people, just make a decision that you will not break under the pressure of some idiot who calls you unqualified, or says “it will never work”, or “you don’t have enough education”. You have to posture yourself to a place of pure belief so that when you hear those things, not if, when, you will not crack, but you will stay strong in the belief of what you are doing.
Don’t let those people kill your dreams that can absolutely change your life and the life of your family. Put on some posture and don’t crack.
A professional business owner will not apologize or defend their position. Never defend. Just understand that it’s not for everyone and move on and just say thank you. Defending shows desperation. Never get into a place of arguing and convincing. It makes you look weak, and makes you look desperate.
Professionals never try to convince or defend. They simply introduce what they do, ask if the person is open to learning. If the person says no, they move on. Don’t get into a battle because you will lose. It’s not worth it.
Not allowing yourself to be affected by the outcome, being yourself, having enthusiasm and passion, and having unshakeable posture will take time to build. But it comes through practice, practice and more practice.
You won’t get it right all the time, especially at first, but you build your posture through practice and personal development training, such as the training I mentioned before at smarternetworker.com, This will get you to a professional level if you don’t quit and don’t let the negative opinions kill your belief.
Comfort zones are comfortable but you don’t get very far if you stay in them. So get outside of your comfort zone today, work on building your posture, and believe that it’s worth it and never give up. That’s how you make it in any business.
To your success,
