The Dog Owner’s Mirror

Dogs are a mirror we like to look at.

If I came to your house and crapped on your rug, peed on your wooden floor, and threw your cell phone into a blender, you would toss me out of the house and call the police.

And yet, when dogs do this kind of thing, we forgive them and insist on having them in our lives.  

Why?

Here’s the answer:  Dogs make us feel good about ourselves.

A dog is always glad to see us. They reaffirm that we are special – that we are wise, powerful, loving, important, and worthy of adoration.  

No matter how ugly, powerless, or socially inept we may be, our dog is always glad to see us, and to tell us we are TOPS.

In short, dogs make us feel good about ourselves, so we are willing to do quite a lot for them, including forgiving a lot of transgressions, costs, and inconveniences.

If you are in sales, you can learn a hell of a lot from dogs.  

How you make a person FEEL is very important.

If you want to win and prosper in life and business, make the other person FEEL good about themselves.
