Having A Positive Attitude Affects You in Business

Last week we talked about having a positive or negative attitude about ourselves comes from the home we grew up in. This can also affect how successful we are in business. Today we need to consider changing our attitude about what a job is. For many people in the Baby Boomer generation their parents and society told them a job is to work for someone else where you have a guaranteed job, have benefits such as health and dental, and have income for retirement. The reality is that this is no longer true. So how can you change you way of thinking of what a job is today and how can you get the health coverage you need for yourself. Even Congress is debating this issue because so many people are working for themselves and don't have any coverage. We need to have a positive attitude about ourelves and our abilities if we are going to find success. If your family is not your support system find another source-friends, mastermind group, networking groups, church, ECT. You have to find an outside source because your family can be your worst enemy. There is jealousy and with negativity they will try to sabatoge your success. Remember the story called the Fuzzy Tale where the family gave out warm fuzzies until the witch told them they would run out. Love is an emotion where you want to touch someone, it's not a word where you are just throwing kisses from a distance. People have a misconception of what love really is. I have a better understanding of it only because I looked outside the family and created my own support system with friends. In a way my sister did the same thing only she doesn't realize what she's done or how she perpetuates the hostility my mother created in the home. People who need to listen to this are Psychologists, therapists, business people, ECT.
