Your attitude is everything. You can look great… but with an attitude that is less than patient, easy going, accepting, smooth, interested, ready for anything, etc… you are going to lose the battle in an economy where only the best will survive.
I decided, about six months ago, that it is more important to keep the site fresh and full of responsive advertisers, than anything.
What I did is added an extra monthly step to everyone’s calendar: the need to re-activate the ad. It takes a lot, I admit, receiving my emails, opening them, reading them, and clicking on a link in the email, and then an enter button… It is a hassle: that is, if you have an attitude.
I came to this conclusion. I had two kinds of responses:
- all smiley and grateful and appreciative. I am sure these girls are doing great. Because how you do anything is how you do everything.
- all grumpy, all impatient, “if it is such a hassle, then just take me off your list” type of attitude. And because how you do anything is how you do everything… I can only imagine the economy’s impact on an provider like this: they soon will need to find a different job.
Conclusion: In crucial times like this attitude is more important than most. The economy effects the discretionary income of clients. Discretionary means that it is money they can decide how to spend. But they have less if any of that. I just look at my own pocketbook and I know.
Lots of things and lots of people stand in line to get their share of that discretionary income… and a smiley face, and good attitude can win it all for you. Are you in the game? Or do you forget that the experience begins with the first email, with the smile you have on your face while you pray that this guy will stick and pay your rent? Not the frown. The smile… ok?
Now go and look in the mirror. Pay attention only at the expression your face, your eyes, your posture have. Change it to loving, appreciative, light, attentive, there is no care in the world type of expression. That expression attracts… the other one repels.
Remember the Law of Attraction? Similars attract… And we are in the pleasure business… pleasure seeker is looking for pleasure seeker. Not someone who is trying to get a free lunch… or free rent.
OK?

Bravo Sophie!! Loved your blog, I hope those that are falling on hard times in this business seriously take a look at their attitude. I hear so many negatives from clients, that all could have been prevented if the attitude wasn’t there. Thanks for the blog and keeping us informed when you add to it.
