Action Steps for Success #2

Attitude Matters

Your attitude is the key to making anything a success. Many people have the attitude of business will find me. I just have to say I am in business and people will hunt them down to buy what they are selling. Whether it is a product or services you will have to take on the attitude of "If it is to be, it is up to me".

Many times people will act in business as they do with their family and friends. Very laid back and comfortable.

Your attitude will be the strongest (or weakest ) aspect about you.

To be successful you may want to shift your attitude to be on purpose and maybe stretch your boundaries of comfort.

Your attitude will determine how you handle the circumstances around you. When challenges arise are you handling them with looking for a solution or are you taking revenge out on the circumstances? Getting mad or taking the circumstances personally usually does not show the best in you.

Your attitude determines the self image you have. People often look to see your attitude in how you handle the hard stuff. Do you defend or justify what happened? Or are you looking for the lesson and course correcting to be better the next time around?

I believe people want to work with people who have been through challenges and have had a good attitude to get through them instead of a victim style attitude. That way they feel like if something were to happen then they will not feel beat up from the relationship.

Things go wrong in life! Challenges interfere with smooth transactions and both sides are effected by it. Make sure your attitude acknowledges the other people involved.

You are in control of your attitude! You are in control how you respond to any circumstance in your business. How will you manage it to be a success? People want to support others to be successful, remember they do not want to fight through your attitude to help.

What is one thing you can do today that will stretch the boundaries of your attitude? How can you improve a small step in attitude that will support you in growing in your business?
