Strike The Terminator Pose In 2009

TerminatorIn moving ahead with planning for your business life and your personal life I would recommend you

   Strike The Terminator Pose In 2009.

We all remember the first Terminator movies with Arnold Scharzenegger and his famous line

"I'll Be Baaaaack" with that Austrian accent.

What needs to come back into your planning is the big word "NO" to negative thinking despite tougher times. Industry veterans that have seen cycles before know that good attitudes and realistic thinking will see you through the difficulties.

There's a funny line about the proactive person that isn't waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel. He or she is going to run down the darkened tracks and just put a light there at the other end.

You need to strike that terminator pose to all things that will run counter to where you want to go. Control what you can control. Like negative thoughts. BIG STOP SIGN. Terminate it. You may have forgotten with too many good years how to get rid of negativity.

But YOU are baaaack! With a little reminder from your terminator pose. People will wonder about you in the office wearing your sunglasses.

Terrminator 2

So roar into the New Year refreshed and committed to "terminate" any negative thoughts that come your way.

Believe in yourself. If you won't no one else will. Choose the road that is right for you.

You can do it. Afterall you are on a mission. It is the mission of your life. Don't waste any valuable minutes of it letting negativity gain a foothold.

You are so much worth more than all of that!!

Gary...positive thinking is where it is at.  If you walk around with you tail between your legs, that is how people will see and treat you.

Hi Gary, As I listened to the news today and I heard some speak of the way out of the mess and the opportunity for homeowners coming in the new year, well, most is good, some is questionable but believing that we can and will do what we can do to help every way we can is the right way to approach this. We can't alter the facts and we can't hide under the table but there is no need for doom and gloom either. Keeping a positive and proactive perspective still allows us to help those that are burdened by their facts  and that is not negative. It is a time for good insight and good decisions. But we must also seek all the opportunities that might be available.  And there seems to be many, though they often look unfamiliar.

Gary - Yep, time to go out and kick butt and take no prisoners.  Ready to get our unfair share next year.  There are too many great homes and too many great customers that need our help to just sit on the sidelines.

Gary, I know I have said this before but it is all about our attitude.  Life is a choice and we can decide whether we will strike that terminator pose or not.

Gary,

Holding back now will have meager results. A forward-thinking and realistic plan will get you on the right track for 2009 and will help you achieve four goals.

Gary, negativity will take root if you let it and run your life.  We work daily to shut down negativity where we find it and replace it with positive thoughts.  As 'interesting' as the economic outlook is right now, we all have so many blessings to be thankful for.  Focus on those... focus on the game plan and you'll succeed.  Merry Christmas!

I don't know how to spell negativity! Not in my vocabulary. By the way, there's a link to some new body spray from Burger King on my post today that you might enjoy!

Like I said on another post...I can't worry about that stuff...I just go day by day and I didn't end up with such a bad year...I'd rather go a long and see what transpires and make changes if I need to. I never set something that can't be changed.....and I'm still here so I can't say I'll be back...never left.

If a negative thought comes to mind, I will remember what you said "terminate it" lol.  If we don't maintain a positive attitude it really affects other areas of our business and clients can really pick up on things like that!

I'm all about wearing leather and sunglasses to the office. And if it helps me remain positive, then that's even better.
