Practicing Leadership

I was prepared for and did my first Thirty-One party last night.  It was exciting to recall all of the new information that I had been reading, ready myself to be excited about the product, and set up for the first time all of the wonderful items for sale....The party was to begin at 7:00 p.m. 

At 7:30 there was no one there.  The Hostess started apologizing, and I was feeling a little anxious
about "no" attendees.  I recalled several things that I have learned over the years, one being my attitude.
My attitude would make a difference in this instance.  So, I encouraged the hostess on how we might be able to work on some outside orders, and let her know that it was okay if no one came.  Right after that, 3 people came to the door.  Now...we had a party! 

In the end, there were sales, there was laughter, excitement, and another party was booked.  All of the goals for a consultant.  I made a choice, to have an attitude that was positive, and to allow that attitude to reflect back to the hostess.  All in all, it was a great evening, and I think that by the time we are done...she will end up with enough sales to get all the things that were on her wish list.

Attitude:  A noun.  When I think of a noun, I think of action.  Attitude with action creates GREAT THINGS.  Have a great attitude today and see what happens in your world!!!
