Time to Doubt or Do?

There are really only two possible options for handling any situation.

You can do. Or you can doubt.

And you need to do both.

But you can’t do both in the same moment.

And that’s where choices often get confusing.

You can’t just cut one of the options completely out of what you do and who you are.

Both are valuable.

Doing. And doubting.

You need to doubt:

You need to do:

Doing. And doubting.

One keeps your intentions sharp, and the other turns dreams into destiny.

You need to do both.

You just can’t do both right now.

And so like a lot of things in life, you have to make choice. About what’s more important for you in this moment.

Is it time to do? Or should you take time to doubt?

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place

Collette,

It can be extremely frustrating to feel like you are in a hopeless selling position — not enough buyers coming into the store and price competition distracting buyers from making any decisions.

Maybe it’s time to take your talents to a new vertical. Maybe the skills you learned in selling furniture can be used in a mall working at Pottery Barn or in another retail environment when there is a larger number of foot traffic.

As a side note, if you ONLY in charge of selling you might want to read some classic books on selling and see if there are ways to improve your skills. Jill Konrath’s “SNAP Selling” is a great place to start.

p.s. Feel free to reach out to me by phone so that you can tell me more if you interested in doing so. I know that it can be hard to share your struggles in a public forum.
