Stay Away From Negative People!!

Hi Mark:  Most of the time, your attitude is the only thing you have working for you.  Attitude is contagious.  If you have a posiive attitude, others around you will "catch" it, and be positive, too.  If you are around negative people, it is infectious.  If you catch their negativity... it can have a chilling... and even "killing" effect on your success, or lack thereof.

Even if you end up being alone because of avoiding negative people... you are better off... way ahead of the game.

By the way, how are things in Allen ?  I am in Fort Worth, and I love it here.

Sooner or later you'll encounter a crisis in your life, and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success. Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis. Close scrutiny will show you that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are. Indeed, most changes in your life will be due to either "inspiration" or "desperation." Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value. A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials

Mark,

Great post! The law of attractions kick in here. Hang around those with positive mindset and you will go farther in life.

I take the Mr. Roger's attitude to heart. 
"It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood!"

Everyday, I wake up knowing that I'm going to be talking to someone that is interested in either buying or selling some Real Estate!  It can't get any better than that!

I remain positive about the market that's because I do my home work and see by the numbers what is going on, its just a different market not a bad one.

When I hear people talk negativity about the market I encourage them to go find a job, why? Because its just one less person I need to compete with.

So, turn it around to your favor when ever you hear negativity.

Hey

Everyone, just got back from a Broker Open House and an Older women was there the Realtor said that was the mother. She started to tell me how bad the market was and how she had several of these listings to sell, I told watch what your saying! The agent said the mother is deaf and not to worry, well nothing but negativity came out of her mouth.

I told the agent I think the market is great and she disagreed with me so I said let me walk through the house. When I got to the room were the mother was she asked me for a business card and said this lady is a Putts!

Lesson to be learned, want to be negative? Keep it to yourself!

That is a wonderful look on life that you have, we must be able to communicate this sense of positive being to others and that is where a lot of people fall by the wayside.
