WHEN PEOPLE SAY NO

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael the Traveling Trucker. Today’s wild ride adventure is overcoming ” THE NO” WORD. No is not a bad word.

We all have had someone tell us no. No No No, you can’t go there, you can’t have that, You can’t see that show, listen to that music, visit that xxx shop, and the list goes on.

Mention:

In our businesses, do we educate people? We should lead them, by listening to where they want to be. Most people give the fast answer No, because you caught them off guard. They don’t know how to respond. They think they are getting rid of you quickly by saying NO. Say yes to business by clicking here.

You should begin gently by asking a few questions. I see you filled out the form to work with us online. Has something changed since this morning? What are you looking to do online? If you had time, how much would you be willing to commit each day or week to receive a commission? Are you willing to get some training? How much of an investment can you commit to your business? Would you have a monthly budget to help advertise your business? Would you be willing to work with a team?

For some reason people don’t like to say NO, however, people sure are good at saying things like “let me think about it,” “I’ll get back to you,” ” sounds good but I want to talk to my spouse” or ” I need to talk to the committee.” There are infinite excuses. Does this mean that NO is right or wrong? It means people don’t have all the facts. People fill out forms all the time and 5 minutes later, they forgot where they were online. You contact them, thinking you are going to get a good response, WHAM, no, no, no is what you hear. First off, we have to figure out why people are so uncomfortable, which can take some coaching and self-study.

What if you could achieve every quota… hit every income goal… and reach every personal dream… simply by changing the way you think, feel, and respond to hearing the word NO? Well, you can.

The relationship you have with the word NO… what you think and feel when you hear it, and what you do afterward as a result… is THE single most important factor in determining the level of success you will achieve in your life. That’s why despite having a great product, service or opportunity to offer, so many people fail to succeed in business… and in life.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. A simple change in attitude and perspective could transform you from someone who is slowed down by failure and rejection into someone who is actually energized by it.

Turn Your Greatest Obstacle into Your Greatest Asset… Learn to Go for No!

The more times you successfully survive a rejection, the more you will “numb” yourself to the emotional sting.
The more you face “no” rather than run from it, the more your courage and confidence will grow, making you so much better.
By dealing with nos, your skills handling it will improve, eventually making you effective at keeping it from happening as often.

TRANSFORMATION

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael the Traveling Trucker. This adventure is my walk from boyhood to manhood. Please remember that a lot of what you read was over 25-30 years ago. As you look into my life, look back into yours.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/prison/

Stairs, Architecture, Steps, Climb, High

It started as a son. Born into a family of 5, Dad, Mom, and 3 sisters. Yep, the youngest. I didn’t have a relationship with dad or mom growing up. Both parents worked. Our family life was brutal at times. My dad was violent, that’s what he knew growing up. It’s all he had. Yes, there was some tender moment, but not many. I remember getting into the habit of stealing at a young age. This got me into trouble until I was in my 30’s. There was alcohol at our house, lot’s of it. I remember my 1st drunk outside of the family at 13. This drinking lasted until I was 30. I became an alcoholic and drug addict. I had sexual relations with anyone who wanted sex. Lot’s of partners. There is hope for all who read this. You can change IF YOU WANT TO. I lost more jobs, so-called friends, family members. I was close to my sister. After I was married for a few years, my sister told my wife, she didn’t think I was going to make it past my 25th birthday. I carried a gun, smoked, cussed, and generally hated people. My sweet bride put up with my drinking for the 1st 4 years of our marriage. She didn’t remember me sober, I don’t remember her but in a drunken state.

Mention: https://www.123rf.com/stock-photo/slave.html

Life is what you make it, GOOD or BAD. I chose badly for way to many years. I have had to fight for any peace in my life. My wife was getting ready to leave me and take our oldest daughter, who was 1, away. She loved me but couldn’t stand, me being drunk every day. I had multiple affairs, lied at every question asked of me. My life was a wreck. God gently lead me to AA. I began getting sober. I went for 2 years. Every day I went to a meeting. My wife wanted to go to church. That is where I met Tim Miles. This man loved me enough to show me God’s word. He poured his life into mine. Tim was a recovered drug addict. that’s why we related. I pray for those who have any hurts, habits, or hangups to find HELP. It is just waiting for you. Take that step no matter how hard it may seem. YOU can Do It.

I have been arrested, several times. I thank God, I didn’t do any jail time. People were paid off to drop the charges. That’s the kind of people I hung out with. Money, drugs, and lots of alcohol. We watched out for each other for a while.

Now for the transformation, after a small glimpse of the dark side. My life today is one of JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, HONOR, SACRIFICE.

I believe In GOD the FATHER, JESUS his SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Through daily change, I have gotten on the path of righteousness. God is directing my every step. I love my wife and daughters. I would die for them. My finances are the best they’ve ever been. I started an internet business with faithful, loving people.

I have a book- GET STUCK ON HAPPY. This is a great read. Things to do every day to bring happiness into your life. I take full responsibility for my thoughts and actions. Quick to say I’m wrong and apologize. God has given me a new outlook on life. I see when I once was blind, hear when I was deaf, speak with wisdom when I was a fool. WHO ARE YOU BECOMING? Don’t waste another day walking in darkness, come into the light. I used to think I had to give up something I thought I loved. I gained everything through LOVE. Today I truly have good gifts and am able to pass along good gifts.

Choose today: LIGHT OR DARKNESS. Choose LIFE, NOT DEATH. There is so much out here that brings LIFE. Let’s find it together. I’ll walk with you, hold your hand, and encourage you every step of the way.

Powers Of Observation

Hello Everyone, This Is Your Best Friend, Michael the Traveling Trucker. Get Out your mental powers for today’s adventure: Do you notice your surroundings? Have you ever sat in a crowded place and just watched people go by? Try it sometime. You’ll notice that most folks have their head down and are glued to their electronic device. We read the news about not texting and driving all the time. However, people are still not always aware of their surroundings.

Increasing Your Awareness: Times reported that the “time we spend on our smartphones is interfering with our sleep, self-esteem, relationships, memory, attention spans, creativity, productivity and problem-solving and decision-making skills.” Cool, great, good stuff to have but, remember to exercise your mind daily with these simple tricks.

Pay attention to the people, objects, animals, plants, and buildings around you.
Try doing this in a different place every day. Start at home, then try it at an office, park, mall, grocery store, or a local landmark.

Pay attention to small details. Often, people only notice the large objects that surround them. As you go throughout your day, try to look for the smaller details that might surround buildings, landmarks, and large spaces.

Stay in the present moment. It is easy to become distracted by electronics, intrusive thoughts, or noisy environments, but these can make you less observant. When you take a walk, listen to the sounds of nature, such as birds singing or the wind rustling through the trees. Think about how the sun feels on your skin or how brightly colored the flowers are.

Write down everything that you notice on a daily basis. Do this throughout your day as you notice things. This will keep you observant at the moment. Write your observations in a journal or word document. Try to be as specific as possible.

Quantify everything you notice. When you’re trying to observe something, try to identify how many of them there are. These numbers will force you to pay more attention to the size or quantity of objects. As time goes on, you may be able to count objects more quickly. “To stay eager, to connect, to find interest in every day, to notice what everybody else overlooks — these are vital skills and noble goals. They speak between looking and seeing, between hearing and listening, between accepting what the world presents and noticing what matters to you.”

My friends, Your life has meaning. You are more than your phone, TV, Laptop, radio— Yesterday, after finishing up the yard work, to cool my body down, I sat on my porch with a cold glass of water. We have bird feeders. I got to watch our FLYING PIGS-HUMMING BIRDS, drink the nectar of sugar water from the glass feeder. Watching the dragonflies, squirrels, fireflies. Listening to the sounds from up the street of load music. Looking at our hill garden. Smelling the cut grass and enjoying the sense of peace and tranquility. Just getting to enjoy these things, from my 2500 mile driving, is truly a breath of fresh air for this old boy.

BEEP BEEP MORE INPUT

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is: Changing Your Thoughts.

From the movie Short Circuit, Number 5 wanted more input. Couldn’t get enough information. He really wanted to change. We could really take lessons from this.

How much do YOU really want to CHANGE your mindset? Going from an unhappy, unfulfilled, and negative mindset, to a Positive, happy, totally fulfilled lifestyle. It’s about training YOUR mind to do simple tasks each day until they become a HABIT. 10 minutes a day. Yep, just 10 minutes.

I began reading a book from my Dear Friend, Mentor, and Business Coach JANET LEGERE. Get Stuck On Happy-30 Ways to Change Your Thoughts and Live a Happier Life. Janet’s passion for life, her easy style of teaching, writing, and Mentoring, has helped me on my journey to improve my thoughts and habits to always reflect the positive.

I love the GRATITUDE JOURNAL. This is a 30 day journal for writing down 3 things each morning, you are grateful for. Then 3 things at night you are grateful for. Then reflect back daily at your journal’s past days entries.

This might sound funny to some: There is a breathing technique. I personally have been doing this for years, so I understand the calming affect it has on your mind and body. It helps your whole being to quite the negative thoughts and refocus on the positive.

When you look around your house, DO YOU SEE HAPPY? I mean, do you smile often at the things ( pictures, flowers, stuffed animals, books, etc) around your house? Do the memories from these things bring a positive, happy smile to your day? If not, then begin today to fill your house with a positive, happy mindset. Look at these WORDS BELOW. Take 1 minute right now: Reflect on how they calm you, help you focus on the positive side of your SPIRIT.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/positive%20words/

Now Picture YOUR perfect moment. What do you see? Where are you? What are you doing? What are you wearing? What’s the weather outside? Who is with you? What can you smell? What can you you hear? How do you feel?

Moments fill us with joy and happiness. Waiting for the perfect moment may take to long- Create YOUR HAPPY MOMENTS yourself and enjoy!

USE IT OR LOSE IT

Hello Everyone, This Is Very Rested and Energized, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is: Setting Yourself Up To Win. I am not a fan of the use it or lose attitude until now. I love doing research, and here’s what I found. There’s a ‘use it or lose it’ attitude going on in our brain. If there are pathways that are not being used, they decay.

Mention: https://www.wow4u.com/sometimesalways/

You can’t take it back, cannot find it again, cannot buy it, steal it, borrow it, or use someone else’s. You either have total control or it is gone. Each one of us on this earth has the same amount to start with, to use, or to throw away. Do you know what it is? TIME: Are you really using your time effectively or are you just letting it escape through your fingers like sand through your toes as you walk along the beach?

“Hold fast to time! Use it! Be conscious of each day, each hour!” Thomas Mann

“A man will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body – the wishbone.” Robert Frost

“We can find passion in what we do but it cannot be found in what you detest doing.” Byron Pulsifer

As a trucker, I am very time conscious. I DO NOT like being late for any reason. I know that somethings are out of my control-(truck breaking down, flat tire, traffic.) I have designed my brain to function on leaving when I need to and getting to my destination on time. This has been instilled in me since I began working. I think it shows respect for yourself and those you work for and with. People notice TIME management. In this industry of internet marketing, most value their time and the time of others. That’s why I choose to be here. I began to look for people who value TIME. They love teaching people, from organizing your day through a set of rules to follow, to setting goals, to taking action.

FOR YOUR BRAIN TO PONDER: DREAM, SET GOALS, TAKE ACTION. Seems simple doesn’t it. K.I.S.S.-KEEP IT SIMPLE SILLY. My good friend and mentor Janet Legere, Is The QUEEN of keeping it simple. She shows people how to get things done, in the easiest simple to follow instructions. That’s WHY I AM HERE, writing this blog and building my business.

I value your TIME, reading this blog. I want you to know how easy it is to write on what you know and are willing to learn, to write a blog and build a business.

IMPROVISE, ADAPT, OVERCOME

Hello Everyone, This Is Very Tired, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is STORY TIME. A series of mishaps befell me, starting on Tuesday last week. I got to my stop in Rocky Hill Ct. Went to get out of my truck and dropped my phone and it landed on the screen. turned purple and DIED.

Mention: https://unsplash.com/s/photos/broken-phone

Improvise: Good thing I had my tablet and laptop. Was able to stay in short communication with the office through email, my wife through tablet messenger, so we could talk. Wednesday, my trailer decided not to go to sub-zero temps. Picked up my load from Elizabeth NJ, on way to Aberdeen MD. Got to Aberdeen for my 9 pm appointment, only to find load shifted (leaning to the right) and they refused it.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/improvise/

Adapt: So I sat all day Thursday, waiting to have load, re-stacked. In the meantime, I took the trailer to two different dealers to get it fixed. The dealers told me the problem was inside the trailer unit. They couldn’t fix it because it was loaded, waiting for my reschedule on Friday. Waiting for my appt. on Friday, it stormed in MD for almost an hour. I had a 7 pm appt. I got there at 6 pm check-in. They came out to check temp. on the trailer (remember I said They couldn’t fix it. ) The Temp. was reading 14 degrees. The place I was delivering to said, if it was not minus degrees, they would refuse it. I told the man what had been done to the trailer. He assigned me a door and said He would check the load. I backed up and waited.

Overcome: I began to pray to my Heavenly Father , would you breathe, your cold breath on my trailer so They would except it. After I prayed, I looked the the left, to find the most beautiful rainbow. That is one one God’s promises to us. I felt peace. 1.5 hours later, they brought me the paperwork, saying all was good. They kept the whole load.

Yes, I lost to a rising temper. Fussed to my wife, how bad it was. Had a negative attitude for a while. Then God began to remind me how blessed I am. How these little setbacks were helping me to grow. God wrapped His loving arms around me and told me I was on His mind, day and night, how He wanted to bless me further. The devil was whispering in my ear, I couldn’t stand in the storm. I whispered back, At least I didn’t lose my golden fiddle to a hillbilly from Georgia. Please learn from this story, life is to short. Be a champion. Give thanks always, even in the tough times. You are more than you could possibly imagine.

Traveler, Guest, Or Family

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure: WHO ARE YOU? In your world that you travel through, what is your status?

How do you relate to those around you?

Are you the traveler that comes in from time to time to impart wisdom or cause havoc?

I love this couple, Daughter and Son in law. They live 3 hours from us so they are travelers and family that impart wisdom.

Are you the Guest that is on best behavior, helps out, and brings joy to those you interact with or want to be waited on hand and foot?

Are you Family, who is there through the good times and the bad. You can be counted on, willing to help, guide and pray with your family members or are you the long gone, no where to be found member?

Yes That’s me with my cooking vest on. I love cooking.

I love to ask these kinds of questions. In my travels as a trucker, I have had the opportunity to meet and greet a large number of people. Listening to their stories has been life-changing, as I internalize what is the true meaning of life. The more I invest in people, the greater the reward. My heart is filled with compassion, grace, forgiveness, love, respect, honor. I have met families that are always together, enjoying life together. They laugh, cry, love, and share all they have with each other.

I have also met families, who are not close. They argue and fight. Cuss each other, and sometimes violent acts break out. I cry when I meet these people. I can relate, As my family was not close growing up. There was violence from time to time. I have had to really work on not being that family member with my family now. I want to love and respect them. My life really changed when I give my life to GOD. Over the years, God has shown me, talked with me through people and His word, how to relate to people. I want to be a lover of people.

Regardless of how we remember our childhood, we have a choice of how we’ll remember our adulthood. Better yet, since we are creating our adulthood as we go, we can make it so that we will not be ashamed of anything we’ve said or done. Think about it; the past cannot tell us what we’re capable of because what we’re capable of is yet to be seen. What we’re capable of is our capacity to grow. So when I ask you, what are you capable of, and you look to your past, you’ve completely limited your growth capacity, your capability of your future.

My prayer for those reading this: May you give your life to God if you have never done so. May you grow toward being a positive model for others to see. Remember you can choose whatever you want, so choose wisely. I love you, I believe in you. Your time is now. Please don’t waste it.

Glimmer Of Light

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is: Believing without seeing all the facts. In my life, I have acted many times to situations without having or seeing all the facts. Some good and some not so good. The decisions we make determine what the outcome will be. If you don’t have all the facts, disaster can crash around you. It’s OK to believe without seeing. JESUS said,” Blessed are those who believe but have not seen. Sometimes believing in our spirit, that the outcome for us is right even though all the facts are not present. It was this way for me in business. I knew it was right for me, even though not all the facts ( information) about this business were present that I could see. I had to dig deep within the model of the business to find the wisdom to help me make the right decision. Touching people’s lives through positive words.

ERASE EVERYTHING?

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is: Take care so you don’t have to erase everything. Alexa, Amazon’s voice-controlled device, has an interesting feature: it can erase everything you say. Whatever you’ve asked Alexa to do, whatever information you’ve asked Alexa to retrieve, one simple sentence(“Delete everything I said today”). Sweeps it all clean, as if it never happened. It’s to bad that the rest of our life doesn’t have this capability. Every misspoken word, every disgraceful act, every moment we wish we could erase-we’d just speak the command, and the entire mess would disappear. We all know from our own experiences that this will not happen.

How to Respect Yourself and Others: What exactly is respect? It’s the sense of worth or personal value that you attach to someone. Respect is an overall evaluation you give someone based on many factors – what that person is doing with their life, how they treat you and others, whether they are honest or not and if they seem to consistently do good things, large or small, for other people. In short, respect is a positive view that you form of how someone is living their life. On the other hand, self-respect is your view of how you’re living your life.

Respecting yourself means giving and defining your own worth and value as a human being. Think about this: if you do not respect yourself, it will be more difficult for you to respect anyone else. So it all begins with self-respect. You must be honest with yourself and with others. In order to be your best, you must feel your best. Part of learning self-respect involves respecting the beliefs of others. This next one is vital- Knowing and exercising good manners and proper conduct will make you feel good about yourself, and, in return, others will respect you for your good manners and proper conduct.

One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to truly listen to another’s point of view. Obviously, we’ll not always agree with one another on every topic (and you should never adopt a point of view with which you do not agree), but we should allow each other to have and express our own views – regardless of whether we agree with them or not. Keep this in mind: you owe everyone a basic level of respect for being a fellow human being, but your level of respect for others will vary from person to person. Just like your self-respect will grow as you master the ideals discussed above, your level of respect for others will vary depending upon your view of them and their own self-respect.

As I grow older, I find that I really enjoy people and the differences we have. I love to invite people over for a meal. Just a relaxed atmosphere. We can talk easily about any subject. We recently had people over to the house -ages 20 to 70. It was so interesting to hear the views of what going on in the world and how they handle the situations. No one got mad, no one raised their voice. We mostly laughed and truly enjoyed each other.

In business, we need all the above. Business should be fun, educational, and giving. Contact List Builder and TrafficLeads2Incomevm, are two of the most respectful businesses. Two different styles of personality, but common in many areas of teaching, coaching, and mentoring
