Attitude of Gratitude

Adopting an Attitude of Gratitude.

Last Monday, my boss came to our office and asked that we role play in handling objections. 
 
There is something called the 90/10 rule. It states that in a sales call, the customer or client should speak 90% and the sales rep should speak 10% of the time.  
 
When it came to my turn, after I spoke, he asked my colleague to write on a piece of paper 90/10. He then took that piece of paper, squeezed it, threw it on the floor, and as he was about to step and crush it, I closed my eyes.
 
After the meeting, I walked to my cube shocked and bothered to start making the calls. Shortly afterwards, he returned, picked up the piece of paper from the floor, came to my cube and gave it to me. 
 
"Victoria this is yours, keep it safe" he said
 
What was the meaning of all that? What point was he trying to make? What did he mean? These questions and many more haunted me. And while I will never know their answers, the truth is, my feelings were hurt. 
 
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou. 
 
I am new to sales, It's been slightly over a month since I started this new job. August 23rd to be precise. And in September the first month, out of the 5 new sales reps I produced the most revenue almost double what others did. In fact the same colleague who wrote the 90/10 told me, my revenue alone paid for every one in the sales team salary.  Not to mention I am the only lady in the group of seven men.
 
What would you have done? 
Would you have told the boss how he made you feel and risk losing your job? 
 
I knew that what my boss had done was mean, pure meanness. What I did not know and will never know is why or what caused him to act that way towards me.
 
I had a choice to address the incident. Tell him how his actions had affected me or say nothing, pretend that everything is fine and focus on my work.  
 
I chose to keep quiet and the pain lasted longer than usual. I have tried to think about what I am to learn, nothing is coming up. I have tried to make sense of it all. Nothing adds up. I have forgiven the incident and is moving on hoping to maintain a positive attitude and never to say anything about it to him. 
 
It's another Monday.
 
Are Monday Blues real or a myth?
 
Be mindful of how you feel on Mondays and try not to bleed on people who did not hurt you. And should you ever find yourself in a situation where you can not express yourself but yet you have to deal with the pain alone; here are three things to consider.
 
  • Call a trusted friend and tell them about it.
 
  • Move your body; do yoga, gym or run.
 
  • Adopt an attitude of gratitude.
 
Despite my boss acting in a way that did not sit well with me, I have a job and because of it I am able to provide for myself. For this reason I am grateful for my job and to him, especially during this time of my transition and when so many people are not employed. 
 
Maybe you are thinking 
 
"Victoria, you have a business why don't you quit and focus on building your businesses: Souleva and QIC3 "  
 
My dearest I wish it was that easy. I would in a heartbeat, especially after witnessing how mean my boss can be. 
 
Souleva is brand new. Not too many people know that we exist. If you can help spread the word about us, please do. The bags are perfect for a woman who loves going to hot yoga, the spa, the gym or when traveling they can hold your soiled panties and socks.
 
They are colorful, waterproof and antimicrobial. Truly something different and they make for a perfect Christmas or Birthday gift. 
 
If you need help with graphic design, Facebook Ads, Email Marketing etc, reach out at QIC3. I'll be more than happy to help.
 
And for a dose of inspiration you are always welcome to read any product description at Souleva.
 
For today, 
 
Monday Giggle has a word for you.
 
With love and care
 
Victoria
 
Ooh, what are you grateful for today?

Novas políticas para armazenamento inativo e acima da cota
 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌
Prezado usuário do Google,
Recentemente avisamos sobre novas políticas de armazenamento para Contas do Google que usam o Gmail, o Google Drive (incluindo o Documentos, Planilhas, Apresentações, Desenhos, Formulários e arquivos Jamboard do Google) e/ou o Google Photos. Com isso, vamos nos alinhar às práticas do setor. Como você já usou um ou mais desses produtos no armazenamento da sua Conta do Google , gostaríamos de informar sobre as novas políticas antes que elas entrem em vigor em 1º de junho de 2021. Veja abaixo um resumo das novas políticas. Consulte o artigo na Central de Ajuda para ver uma lista completa das mudanças.
Resumo das novas políticas (em vigor a partir de 1º de junho de 2021):
Caso sua conta esteja inativadois anos (24 meses) no Gmail, no Drive ou no Fotos, talvez seu conteúdo seja excluído nos produtos em que a conta está inativa. Os assinantes do Google One que estiverem dentro da cota de armazenamento e em situação regular não serão afetados por essa nova política para contas inativas.
Caso sua conta ultrapasse o limite de armazenamento por dois anos, o conteúdo poderá ser excluído no Gmail, no Drive e no Fotos.
O que isso significa no seu caso:
Suas contas não serão afetadas por essas mudanças, a menos que tenham ficado inativas ou tenham ultrapassado o limite de armazenamento por dois anos. Como essa política entra em vigor em 1º de junho de 2021, ela só será aplicada a partir de 1º de junho de 2023.
Depois de 1º de junho de 2021, caso sua conta esteja inativa ou acima do limite de armazenamento, enviaremos lembretes e notificações por e-mail antes da exclusão de qualquer conteúdo.
Mesmo que a conta esteja inativa ou acima do limite de armazenamento em um ou mais desses serviços e o conteúdo seja excluído, você ainda poderá fazer login.
Observação: as políticas de inatividade e de cota de armazenamento acima do limite serão aplicadas somente para usuários dos serviços do Google. As políticas do Google Workspace, G Suite for Education e do G Suite para organizações sem fins lucrativos não serão modificadas neste momento, e os administradores precisam consultar a Central de Ajuda do administrador para ver as políticas de armazenamento relacionadas às assinaturas.
Saiba mais sobre como manter sua conta ativa
Para saber como manter sua conta ativa nesses produtos, acesse esta página da Central de Ajuda.
O Gerenciador de contas inativas ajuda a gerenciar conteúdo específico e notificar uma pessoa de confiança caso você deixe de usar sua Conta do Google por um determinado período (entre 3 e 18 meses). Observação: a nova política de inatividade por dois anos será aplicada independentemente das configurações do Gerenciador de contas inativas. Saiba mais sobre as mudanças e como gerenciar sua conta ou a de pessoas próximas na Central de Ajuda.
