Yeehah!
I was reading the paper today and read about a legendary dog wrangler who saved a dog drowning in a canal with a lasso!
I have no lasso skills. What kind of cowboy would I be without these skills! Cowboy's get their name by herding and catching cows and out in the Wild West the ability to get that cattle caught and into the sale would be the difference between having food to eat or nothing at all. It'd also be the difference to whether you had the cowgirl or not!
That's an interesting thought actually. I wonder what today's equivalent of a lasso is. I suppose in today's society with business and information it must be persuasiveness and negotiation skills. After all that is how you hook the buyer, seal the deal and get the ladies.
So what does a modern day cowboy need in order to be persuasive and negotiate well?
I did some research and the site that best reflects the skills you need is Kemp's Blog.
Briefly, in cowboy speak - you need to do the following:
1) Giddy Up and Get Respect
2) Always treat people as you would a cowgirl
3) Get to the point - be clear
4) Back up your talk with some lasso skills
5) Be interesting, logical and emotional at the same time. (Be a cowboy)
Giddy Up Y'all!
