August AR Challenge Part 1: Truth or Dare Another fun challenge to tickle the brain, getting us to think outside of our every day activities. Of course, I will be using the imagination and pulling at the muscle memory for some of these questions. Here we go! 1.  We all go on vacation to get away from it all and have a great time, but I want to know, what vacation day was your worst?While in Florida with Michael and the boys, we wanted to get Dip 'n Dots. After pulling into the parking lot, several police cars converged with flashing lights. They stopped, jumped out, pulled their weapons and rushed into the building.It was getting robbed at gunpoint right at that moment. Scary and no Dip 'n Dots for us.

There is magic in honesty.  Responsibility and accountability are taught at a very young age. Align with those who uphold a higher standard. Besides, a client who trusts you today, will refer family members and friends well into the future.     At times, during a transaction, obstacles present or mistakes happen. Here are some ways to work through adversity: If you're wrong, make it right Correct an error immediately Apologize to everyone involved Be determined to find a viable solution When at fault, own it, no pointing fingers   We are all human and because of that factor, are fallible. Taking responsibility and being accountable for actions shows respect for clients and encourages business relationships to honestly prosper and grow.   Happy sales all! 08/15/2022
