[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #10: According to Your Attitude
Recently, I was dropping off some FedEx packages when I noticed a sign behind the counter:
“Prices are subject to change according to customer’s attitude.”
That’s a cute little sign with a big nugget of wisdom
“She’s hot…but her attitude sucks!”
“We like the work you do, but we’re gonna have to let you go. People don’t like you.”
“He’s got talent, but I ain’t dealing with that attitude. It ain’t worth it.”
The perceived value of what you have to offer is subject to change according to your attitude because your attitude is the ambassador of your personal brand.
And of course, your personal brand determines whether or not people want to do business with you or even associate with you in any shape, form, or fashion.
Million Dollar Question:
What would your paycheck look like
