One subscriber’s cool mantra
After having a great weekend of music, eating (I forgot to mention, I ate at a GREAT restaurant in Nashville where the chef made an 11 course tasting menu just for me), and rest, I’m back to reality.
I really enjoy reading the comments subscribers leave on my blog and often learn much from them. Today, as I was thinking about what I was going to write to you about, I read a comment about my “Am I a freak stalker” post from subscriber and customer Dagmar Pollex.
First, she assured me that I am not a “freak stalker” but rather a Melissa Etheridge “groupie.” 
And then she wrote the following:
“My mantra before a client meeting – provide leadership with energy, commitment and passion.”
Is that cool or what? It looks simple on the surface but it encompasses everything your clients want from you – regardless of the business you’re in.
Now you might say, “I already know that” (Four deadly words) but what you need to ask yourself is that actually what you’re projecting in every prospect and client interaction?
Very few business people I deal with come even close to providing leadership, energy, commitment and passion in what they do. In fact, in all my years in business, I can only think of a few – and guess what? Those are the people I have paid the most money to.
Take a few minutes today and ask yourself if you are living up to Dagmar’s mantra – and be honest with yourself. If you’re not, write down one action step you can take today to move in that direction and then take that action step today.
Kick butt, make mucho “DEE-nero!”

P.S., As mentioned, I love to hear what you are thinking. So feel free to leave your comments. I really do read all of them!

Hi Dave – you got it exactly right that even if you already know that – what you need to ask yourself is that actually what you’re projecting in every prospect and client interaction?
That’s the power of the affirmation/mantra – it gets us centered and projecting that energy and it works like a charm!
