How Good is Your Attitude?

A good attitude is one of the most important components of having a successful business. Attitude, for the most part, determines your day, especially if you are in the business of customer service. If you have a bad attitude, you'd be hard pressed to find a customer who would appreciate being treated badly because your attitude is anything less than satisfactory.

Attitude also determines your success. If you're positive, even in the face of the most negative consequences, eventually, it will all work out. In truth, most of the negative aspects in our lives can get worked out but a positive attitude can go a long way in making the road to success a lot more hospitable.

Not to mention the days when everything seems to be stacking up against you, maintaining a positive attitude can make the day a lot better. Things will get better, you have to believe it will before it does. That will make all the difference.

A bad experience can be a learning experience or it can be "the end of the world." Determining which world view you take will determine your course of action. In the face of "the end of the world" most people would give up, but what about a learning experience?

You take what you learned and move on. There's need to stress about it, just take what you can from the experience and put it into use in the future if the same situation ever pops up again or adapt it to other situations.

The point is, the difference between "the end of the world" and a learning experience is attitude?

Make the best of every experience, positive or negative, because how else would we learn? There's only so much we can learn from others before we have to experience life ourselves and make the best of it.

Attitude...a "little" word that makes a "big" difference.

Phil - yes we sometimes let disappointments affect our outlook and our attitude.  When we let that happen it spirals out of control.  Your words about failures being a learning experience will give us the courage we need to move forward.

Great point! I  agree a positive attitude is so important in business and a positive upbeat attitude seems to draw customers in.  Thanks for sharing.

Grant, thank you for your kind words. Indeed we all have failures, but the greatest failure is in not trying (as cheesy as it sounds). The fact of the matter is, if we don't try, and take those failures as learning experiences, how do we get better at anything? Whether it'd be our personal lives or our professional lives. We learn from experiences and sometimes failure is just part of the equation.

Rob, I agree. Positivity is infectious, it draws people to you in a positive light and repels those who are a constant dark cloud. No one wants a pessimis professional, they want a positive one who will calm their fears and do what's best for them.

Phil, I always enjoy your posts because you deliver great information with a good attitude!  It's not so much that we fall down, because we all do - it's that we get back up and keep going.  Thank you for the reminder!

Rebecca, it's definitely more about getting up than falling down. We all have hills to climb, hurdles to jump, it happens. How we face them and, most importantly, what we learn from those obstacles is what makes us grow as professionals.

Hey Sheila, we certainly are. There are plenty of ways to go about a negative or bad experience, we must always chose the one that is best for us.

Debbie, this is true. How we learn to control our attitude, in any given situation, may just be the key to success. We can't account for everything, but a good attitude goes a long way.

Hi Phil, attitude and mindset are what success is all about. I truly believe in the law of attraction. Negative brings more negative

Donna, I agree. We feed off the people we surround ourselves with, sometimes it's not enough to be an optimistic person. We also need to surround ourselves with like minded thinkers if we hope to remain positive.
