I don't know - but I desperately need help in learning how to remain calm
during processing a sale. Wrong newsgroup? Can you point me in the right
direction?

I am processing sales like never before and it's stressing me out - is
this normal? Perhaps I'm so used to not making the sale? What's wrong?

I'm not used to this. My stomach is cramping up. I'm shaking. Thank GOD I
don't have to speak to anyone on the phone - otherwise they'd hear me
stumble over my words!!

<sigh>

Again, I apologize if this is the wrong newsgroup. I think I'm having a
panic attack or something. Please answer - this is a serious inquiry. Oh,
the product I'm selling (at the moment) is radio ad space.

Is this what success feels like?!?!?!? YUCK!!

Thank you for responding! :'-)

I guess that saying that some people fear success, rings true for me.
What a wake up call! I had been failing at other things for so long -
failing somehow became my security blanket.

Thank you again!

A couple of things that have really helped me are medication and meditation.
During the most stressful times of my life, my dr. prescribed (I think)
Buspor, or Busporin, something like that. It helps.

The meditation did a lot more.

Its (supposedly) been proven that exercise is as effective as any medication
when it comes to reducing stress and depression. I can't point out any
studies and YMMV. Going for a walk, though, is something you can do now.

I think all three of these suggestions are pretty good. They've all helped
me tremendously.

OK, life is like a table with four legs. Chemical, Physical, Emotional and
______. Are you aware of the fourth leg? It is religion/spirituality.

Good luck, and hang in there. Find a way to manage your stress & continue to
make money.
