Are you Blaming the Economy for your Failures?
If you are watching the news, listening to the radio or reading the newspapers you are bombarding yourself with negative energy, day in and day out. Do you have any idea what affect that is having on you and you mental outlook of everything you do.
Negative energy is like a cancer, it spreads to everything you do and think if you are not careful. You must be able to separate yourself from the news or just shut it off.
Why is it that some people are having their best years ever and others continue to struggle amidst the struggling economy. Being in sales and marketing, I have had my best years since the economy has tanked, more or less because I don't watch the news, read the paper or listen to the radio. I have stayed positive and continued to work hard, tried new things and continued to press forward.
No matter what your business is, you need to push away all the negative things in your life and start making your way to positive times. A positive mindset is what you need, this has to do with what and who you associate with. If your friends and family are negative, you most like are on the same wave length, unless you have consciously shifted your mind to a positive attitude.
Here 5 Steps to Creating a Positive Attitude
- Shut off the TV - continuously bombarding yourself to negative news wears on you and your attitude. If something earth shattering happens you will hear about it in other ways.
- Spend an Hour each day reading, watching or listening to positive or educational material - with your new found time after shutting off the news you will have the extra hours to do this. Keep you mind sharp and challenged by reading or listening to audio books
- Stop Blaming the Circumstances for Your Situation - take responsibility, you are where you are because of the decisions and actions you make. Control your future by controlling your thoughts, focus on a brighter, more positive future and you will find your way there.

- Get Around Positive People - this goes hand-in-hand with No. 4, but it is true, in order to become positive you have to get around people that are positive. You want a better life? Then get around people playing at a higher level and keep up with them, you will have to quickly change your attitude in order to keep up with them.
