Attitude is EVERYTHING!
You read this in about every book you see regarding selling and marketing. The problem is, most people really don't understand what an attitude is! Most think it has something to do with how a person acts... You've heard it said hundreds of times; "That guy's got an attitude!"
While an attitude can certainly have something to do with how one behaves, the attitude itself is really a HABIT of thinking.
Here is the order in which things happen:
1. You think.
2. How you think and what you think is directly responsible for how you behave.
3. Your behavior, or how you act and what you do, is responsible for the results you get.
Make sense?
So, then, if you are not satisfied with the results you are experiencing, as in your income, your life style, etc., then something has to change. To continue doing things the way you have always done them and expecting something to change is really a definition for insanity.
Assuming you are NOT insane, how does one then, go about changing?
Simple: Start with #3... look carefully at what and how you are doing things. Check #2 and see what you are thinking that is causing this particular behavior. Then address #1. CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK.
In reality, changing the way you think is the only thing you really can control.
Because it is a habit, however, changing how you think isn't easy. It takes work, focus, and a burning desire to make your life as you really want it to be.
Can you do it? You betcha! Start now while you are "thinking" about it!
