Are You Willing to Walk Away When Necessary?

Are You Willing to Walk Away When Necessary?


Personally and professionally, we can improve our achievements by reflecting on the question, ‘Are you willing to walk away when necessary?’

 

In the sales arena at corporations, I learned to walk away from disrespectful people. Although I was a top producer in the sales profession, there were memorable occasions when disrespect and a lack of values had me quickly walking out the door. 

 

I quickly realized that attempting to turn around negative and nasty people is not worth the time of day nor leads to the potential business one might earn. For peace of mind, spending our time wisely to enjoy a more fruitful income is far better.

 

Relationship bonds develop by modeling integrity and trust, respectful conversations, and striving to benefit prospective clientele and friends. But when the experience diminishes among those in your circle(s), it’s time to walk away when necessary.

 

Share Lessons Learned to Empower Others

Collaboration became my new model upon entering entrepreneurship. One excellent example is connecting with Lady Anita Duckworth-Bradshaw on LinkedIn, the founder of the Powerhouse Global Women organization, Powerhouse Global Awards, and Powerhouse Global Magazine


She is an accredited life coach from the coaching academy. An author of five personal development books (all on Amazon) and is an authority in capacity building and women’s development.  Lady Anita generously shares some of my corporate sales team encounters.


Signals for the time to walk:

– Sleepless nights

– Replaying the scenarios in your mind continually

– Realization of further implications, including legal jeopardy in some cases.

 

Time is of the essence for business, so when the above realities are loud and clear, walk away! However, in a situation with someone you know well, it’s best to have a frank conversation to clear the air and attempt to find the right solution. But if nothing concrete develops, it’s best to walk away. 

 

While friendships may go awry after the fact, the better news is that we have time to develop bonds with those who hold similar values and who appreciate us. The equally good news is that the chaos in our minds disappears, and a good night’s sleep returns. Why does this matter? 

 

Many articles from reputable companies and people reveal that stress, however it may occur, can harm us health-wise.

 

Our peace of mind and sense of success depend upon our, ‘Mind, Body, and Spirit.’ 

 

One complements the other, so we must ensure they are all in sync. Practice and courage are sometimes at stake, but when the need arises, you become more adept. Most importantly, remaining diplomatic is of the essence to not harm your reputation or brand. Prospective clients identify the word of mouth they receive about you, and it’s essential to retain your authentic identity with trust included.
