In a recent Special Olympics race … the story is told of a front runner who stopped and helped the person just behind him – after the runner-up slipped and fell. Then these two men ran through the finish line for a standing ovation win - hand in hand. The crowd roared – and the winners beamed at their accomplishment together. 
That Special Olympic story reminds me how tone helps your brain to reach your finish lines, in spite of slips and falls along the way. So what stops so many people short of great goals?
It often surprises me when people stop reaching for their goals or when they sense others try to stop them. While another person might interfere, in a longtime family feud say … or a peer may envy your talents, tone can see you past hurdles that come into any ordinary workday.
Here are ways that successful people use tone for higher goals.
1. Rather than blame others – instead communicate even more effectively.
2. Avoid cynicism – in favor of using your talents to communicate solutions.
3. Disagree on issues with good tone skills that respect other people.
4. Recognize that tone changes like a chemeleon if you’re stressed or tired.
5. Allow tone to turn disagreement into growth by the tone skills you use.
6. Check online tone tips to see what they look like and how they benefit you.
Highly successful people realize the power to tone to advance their lives and careers daily – while at the same time inspiring others to reach new targets.
Test your tone IQ and see how good tone jumpstarts the human brain and so it should be no surprise that top success follows.
Do you know people who draw more from the benefits of good tone, and pass those around to encourage others? How about you?
Ellen, as a result of my recent business start-up, it feels like I've endured more rejection in the last 4 weeks than practically the rest of my life - including my dating life!
But these tips are just the thing to overcome the constant rejection experienced in network marketing (or real life, for that matter). For one thing, rather than making me want to quit, each time makes me a bit better for the next presentation. For another, I'm getting great practice and growing my debating skills. Finally, I'm getting better at thinking "in the moment" - something I've not had much practice at.
Moving out of the old comfort zone is turning out to be the most exciting thing I've done in recent years!
