ally unstoppable.
Your level of self-esteem determines the quality of your relation-
ships with others. The more you like and respect yourself, the more
you like and respect others and the better they feel toward you. In
your business life and career, your personal level of self-esteem will
be the critical factor that determines whether or not people will buy
from you, hire you, enter into business dealings with you, and even
lend you money.
The better your self-esteem, the better you will be as a spouse
and parent. High self-esteem parents raise high self-esteem chil-
dren. These children develop high levels of self-confidence and as-
sociate with other high self-esteem children. High self-esteem
homes are characterized by love, laughter, and happiness for every-
one who lives there.
