Cheryl the “easy-chair” psychologist is back today and we are going to throw a little reverse psychology at you!

Have you ever thought about throwing all the negatives on the table to reinforce positive thoughts in your client? Whoa--I know it seems a little crazy. BUT disarming people with an approach that is not expected can work beautifully, if done right, to relax your potential client with your honesty and sincerity. This helps them be able to truly listen to what you are saying and you will gain more respect from telling the truth. Being up front gives you this easy confidence and as I always like to say “Confidence is the currency to success.”

Stay tuned for my damn good truth and make sure to leave a review OR a voice message if you love it! Leave a message here!
