Advanced Workout 7 Keys to Come Back from a PT Sales Slump by Sean Greeley | Date Released : 07 Aug 2017 2 comments Close Previously published on August 9th, 2016. 1. Welcome adversity as an opportunity to learn and grow. So many people hit a challenge and they look at that as a personal failure and business failure. However, it’s an opportunity to learn from whatever setback occurred, how it occurred, and how you can do better and grow through it.

However, you are not your business and you have to focus on both - taking care of yourself you as the driver and taking care of your business (the car) and then be able to separate the two - some people take all failures personally and go into depression about it when it’s really just recognizing that you’ve got to separate the two and you’ve got to work on the two to continue to grow. 3. Take time to review what has worked, what hasn’t, and what lessons have you learned? Growth is all about learning. Consider how an experience can help you the next time around when you face a similar challenge and what can you do differently to continue to grow through that.
