Sales encouragement…
complainless: (adj.) 1. to be free of complaints 2. a pleasure to be around
Your words move others. Your words move you.
Let yours send everyone in the right direction.
Here’s how to be “ComplainLess”…
- Be aware. Recognize your typical paths to complaining – what (who) sparks your tendency to gripe. Minimize your exposure to them (eliminating those ‘sparks’ altogether may not always be realistic or the best thing). Know that your grumbling is a complete waste of energy.
- Be thankful. Regularly reflect on all the good in your life (people, opportunities, things). Understand and enjoy how lucky you really are. Be entitled to nothing.
