BillinDetroit, 2008 If you want to mess with my head, you have to stay in my face ... nobody gets free rent in my mind. -- BillinDetroit, 2008 I've used these ideas for the past 20 years or so. I've stayed calm while others went nut-so ... and I've prevailed every time. If I'm still torn up 20 minutes after some nutjob has gotten in my face and walked away, he's won. Odds are he's already forgotten about me and is on his way to his next victim. But if I can regain my composure so fast that he never sees the riled reaction, I win. Now I'm in HIS head for free. ;-) Any man who can make me lose my temper can make me lose everything else, too.

When you're acting on emotion, 9 times out of 10, it's a judgment that you wouldn't normally make. For instance, if you're angry, you'll act out irrationally without thinking it fully through.

You are making decisions with your personal feelings and that clouds your judgement. Emotions can be harmful for your business because you are not thinking clearly.
