Winners act decisively in the face of adversity.
Winners find a way to ignore the pressure, the heat, the stress, to pursue a course of action leading them to victory.
It is a familiar story line, one that all of us need to experience ourselves.
Many people tend to collapse, to submit to adversity when the going gets tough.
They discontinue their efforts, feeling and fearing impending defeat.
They may even wallow in loss, saying that it is what they deserve.
Here is the truth: We were not created for loss, but for victory.
Our innate nature is to win, however society has convinced us otherwise.
Do not be fooled.
You are a winner, designed to persevere and win.
Get a grip.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and blaming others.
Take responsibility and action now.
Many salespeople endure a slump at one time or another.
It may be severe enough to end a career, to cut and run.
