you
creates
the
reality
of
who
you
are.

5. Any
style

work…IF…
You
have
respect
• If
you

true
to
who
you
are
it
will
show
and

success
poten<al
• It
is
be@er
to
be
respected
than
admired

is

a
lot
of
work

an
instant

Tips
To
Command
Respect
1. Respect
yourself
• Your
products,
purpose,
personal
presenta<on,
and
your
<me
• If
you
don’t
value
you
why
should
anyone
else?
2. Respect
others
regardless
of
their
sta<on
• People
see
how
you
treat
them
but
also
see
how
you
treat
others
• Remember
the
cliché,
“If
you
don’t
have
something
nice
to
say…”
3. Don’t
fear
the
“C”
word:
Commitment
• Give
specific
commitments
and
honor
them
• Get
commitments
from
others
(find
what
they
are
comfortable
commiYng
to)

“I
want
to
see
you
be
brave…”
• Don’t
be
a
wimp…when
you
ask
a
ques<on
get
an
answer

you
can’t
get
an
answer
find
out
why
• Get
permission
to
ask
and
you
can
ask
almost
anything
5. Be
decisive
• If
you
avoid
decisions
don’t
expect
them
elsewhere

not

business
is
a
valid
and
<me-­‐saving
decision
too
o_en
feared

geYng
business
is
not
about
your
needs

your
needs
first
guarantees
your
clients
and

needs
are
less
obvious
but
lethal
to
success
