BANISH THE NEGATIVE
One of the most difficult things for any Broker or Agent is fighting the negative that seems to surround us just about every where we go. Did you ever notice that one negative person can bring an entire office down to their level in a matter of moments? Why is it that one negative person can have such a dramatic impact on a group of people when the opposite is not true? A positive energetic person not only cannot seem to bring the negative up, but actually can make the negative even more so because the positive person irritates the negative one so much. Every office at one time or another has that individual seemingly committed to make everyone miserable. It may be a natural even, but it does not have to bring you down.
It has been said that "ATTITUDE IS Everything" and it is very close to the truth. How about "YOU GET WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT" also true, but we will save that for another "TIP". So how do you keep up when so many want to drag you down? Here are a few tips:
1. simple leave where they are. Go to another office go home, but get away from them. Pretty soon you will become a master at avoiding them.
2. Develop a real business plan that involves being busy on and in your business. No time for the negative.
3. If circumstances find you becoming the negative one - get out and get busy. Stay away from the office and give yourself time analyze what happened and what can be learned from the experience. The last thing you need is to find yourself the center of a negative epidemic. Remember almost everyone else is fighting the same fight. If all else fails, take a day off and get what is bothering you out of your system.
4. Keep away from the nightly news. Remember the news motto -"If It Bleed It Leads". You do not want the last thing you put in your mind at the end of the day to be negative. Read a book or HUG the kids, but don't end the day on a negative note.
5. Count your blessings!! Take a minute as you start and finish the day and think of the things you have to be thankful for. Your kids, your spouse or significant other, a roof over your head, good friends, a pet, living in a country where you can be negative while surrounded with abundance, not living in another country where you fight for existence, etc. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life we to often forget how many blessing we really have.
Magic answers, no there aren't any. Your ultimate success depends on your approach to life. We all have enough challenges not to need to carry the burdens of those that ultimately play no significant role in our lives.
Go Out and Make it a Great Day!!!
