Today I am going to write about my favorite subject “having a positive attitude all the time in business”. This will bring you success and happiness. When you come to think of it “Did you ever accomplish anything being negative on any business deals”? Negative thoughts bring more negative thoughts. Keep in mind that we control 90% of what we want to accomplish in life, the other 10% we cannot control.
Let’s talk about how to become a positive person in business. According to Webster’s Dictionary the definition of positive is: confident; assured positive person, over confident or dogmatic. Showing resolution or agreement; affirmative; certain (a positive answer) Tending in the direction regarded as that of increase, progress, etc. making a definite contribution; constructive (positive criticism) based, or asserted as based, on reality or facts (positive proof) etc.
When reading both definitions of negative and positive, why would anyone be in the negative realm? It is going in the wrong direction in business, when we all know positive takes you to your goals the right way. It is a no brainer. To have a positive attitude, you must believe in yourself and what you want to accomplish in your business. Surround yourself with positive people who believe in you, your vision and the long term growth of your business.
Jeffrey Gitomer, author Little Gold Book of Yes Attitude discusses a self-evaluation test.
Rate yourself from 1-being never, 2-rarely, 3-sometimes, 4-frequently, 5- all the time.
a.I wake up happy, I think YES! first b.I smile c. I am kind to others, d.I have deep self-belief, e.I am self-confident, f.I take responsibility for my actions, g.I motivate and inspire myself, h.I have great spirit, i.I think positive at work and at home, j.I laugh a lot, k.I find humor in all things, l.I read positive things, m.I’m in a consistent “good mood”, n.I desire to be the BEST, o.I love what I do, p.I am happy on the inside, q.I encourage and compliment others, r.I look for the good in every situation, s.people like me, t.people are attracted to me.
If your total score is 90-110 – Your attitude attributes will put you on the path to achievement, 75-89 – Your attitude attributes need work, but you’re on the right path. Stay on that path, the self-improvement path. 60-74 – Your attitude attributes are good, not great. You’re headed toward the right path. Dedicate more time to your personal excellence. Below 60– Somewhere along the line, you’ve taken the wrong fork in the road.
To my other readers, e-mail my column to any negative relatives, friends, business associates or acquaintances. I urge all my readers to take this self-evaluation test; it will help you to understand where improvement is needed.
