You may have heard that I was stranded in New York a few years ago (see posts on my experience at this link: https://fahmeenaodetta.wordpress.com/tag/strandedinnewyork/). At first, I was horrified because I had lost important items and could not retrieve them. Afterwards, I calmed down and started thinking about strategies to retrieve my important items.
After a while, I started enjoying New York. I enjoyed Bryant Park. I enjoyed walking around Times Square. I found quite a few tea shops and went in to look at their offerings. I even pitched my pickled meat business idea at a bank. I wasn’t totally prepared but I did a good job.
It is important to sell your ideas and even “sell yourself” especially when seeking a job. In the past, I practiced an elevator pitch in case I needed to pitch an idea (here is an article on perfecting your elevator pitch: https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/4034-elevator-pitch-tips.html).
This reminds me of my 7 Ps of success. One of the Ps is for Persuasion.
