We all know what "posture" means.. standing erect, etc. But with regard to
your business, your posture - your level of confidence and competence -
determines how you are perceived by others. Developing posture takes
training, dedication and time. Believe in yourself and your business, and
until you do believe in yourself and your business, pretend you do!
Practice confidence consciously and you will find that people are drawn to
you and eager to learn from you.
When I first started my home-based business, I didn't understand why no one
took me seriously. I learned that it was because I had not yet developed
my posture. I didn't believe in myself so how could I expect anyone else
to believe in me? Then one day I realized people were responding much more
positively to me and my business began to grow! I mentioned it to one of
my company leaders and she said "It's your posture." It was a great day
for me! I have since learned that there are 4 levels on the way to
achieving competence, which in turn develops posture.
Where are you on this great journey to developing your posture?
1. We are first unconsciously incompetent;
Two of my favorite ways of developing my posture are as follows:
1. 60 Second Commercial
Determine your weaknesses and the areas of your life that you would like to
improve. Then write your "60 Second Commercial," a statement of how you
desire to be once you have overcome your weaknesses. Write it as if you
have already accomplished your posture. For example, because many people
have a fear of phone calls and doing follow up calls, you might include
something similar to the following:
2. Vision
I have learned that having a Vision, a description of the first day that
you accomplish your goals. For example, if your goal is to quit your
J.O.B. and go full time with your network marketing company, you might
write your Vision to describe the first day you wake up and begin your
adventure as a full time network marketer. Be sure to include sights,
sounds smells, etc. Make it feel real. Then read your Vision to your self
every day - even twice a day - until your vision becomes as real to you as
your present. When your subconscious hears your Vision daily, it begins to
believe it (I've heard that he subconscious mind cannot take a joke!) and
therefore gets busy helping you to accomplish the goals and dreams
contained in that Vision. This is very powerful. You can read my Vision
and be my guest at the Greatest Networker site here: You will know when you have developed your posture because people will be d rawn to you. It will impact every part of your life - personal and professional. I wish you every success on your journey to greater posture!
