Check Your Negativity At The Door!

WOW! Last week I came with what Joyce calls "tude". Another term might be negative attitude. She set me straight so fast my head about turned just about 360 degrees.

You see in our business, as in life, a positive attitude is required for real success and there really isn't any substitute. The problem is every once in a while I decide I need to whine about how something isn't fair, or how I should have gotten this, that, or the other thing, and it didn't work out that way. Joyce knows that she not only needs to set me straight but I have given her permission to say or do whatever she needs to so that I can adjust my attitude. It's wonderful having a wife that is willing to be my best friend and also my partner. Someone willing to be honest with me at the times when I need honesty the very most.

So here's my tip for today..... find someone in your life or invite someone into your life to be accountable to. Find someone that will be direct and honest with you so that you can keep your attitude from becoming a "tude". Life is too short to not be successful and your mental state is what determines your success. I am not talking about the money kind of success, but the kind of success we achieve when we accomplish what's important to us.

Have a GREAT weekend and let's talk soon.
