How's Your Attitude?

I believe the very first influencer of success is your attitude. Whether you're well on your way to building your empire or just getting started writing your first book, your attitude ultimately determine your altitude. Now, I'm sure you agree everyone thinks they have a great attitude, and that's not true... Are you a positive-attitude-haver ... or do you have some work to do in this area?

Here's the thing: you'll?want?to do something (write a book perhaps?) for longer than is necessary if you've got stinkin' thinkin'.

Master Your Mindset

Got attitude? Negative or positive? Yes, I'm talking about what's going on inside of your mind! I truly believe that the most competent, talented person will?f-a-i-l?without a fantastic attitude.

You may be committing "mental malpractice" ... not making a positive attitude mandatory and therefore living out the unfavorable results of your thoughts. If you don't have a fantastic attitude you simply won't have a fantastic life. You definitely won't have a fantastic book—you'll be too busy coming up with excuses about why you don't have time, you're not worthy of writing a book, etc., etc. That, my friend, is mental malpractice in the highest order.

What you may have realized is your attitude determines your success, and yet have not taken ownership (yet) of the fact that your attitude is determined solely by you! When asked what determined their attitude, many will cite, "my family," "my circumstances," or worse, "the weather."

The consequences of negative attitude and not mastering your mindset are often harsh, yet always fair. When we focus on the negative, our ability to be creative is lost. Our immune systems are compromised. It drains energy. Causes stress. Increases worry. Prolongs painful situations. Affects our ability to listen - and communicate. Need I say more?

In truth, every situation is an opportunity for growth and learning. You are the master, not the victim, of your present circumstances?and your mindset—if you choose to be.

1. Develop a "no whining" policy.?Once you've determined where you are (your "point A") focus on the strategies and solutions for getting to your end result. Stay "in solution" by focusing on how you can make it happen, versus why it may not happen, until you get your desired result.

2. Focus solely on what you want, and nothing else.?Use the power of your subconscious mind to effortlessly draw your desired results to you. Close your eyes and visualize your goals as if they have already been achieved. Get associated with how you will feel once you are working with those new clients or driving that new car.

3. Be grateful.?Spend a few moments each day giving thanks for everyone and everything in your life that you are thankful for - when you connect with gratitude, the fear simply goes away. Adopt the belief that "every day above ground is a great day." It's true - if you're reading this, then you're still here. There's still hope and the possibility for you to have, do, be and create anything and everything you truly want.

4. Set a time limit and adopt "That's enough!"?Give yourself five minutes or less to "vent" about a situation that's got your goat. Then say, "That's enough!" and move on. When I have a frustrating situation, I know I'm starving my creativity, while adding fuel to my excuses. And I don't have time for that, what with my 1,000 words a day goal!

5. When all else fails, have a mantra. Mine is: Things are getting better all the time, I feel great, and life is wonderful!?If it isn't true, it will be before you know it. No challenging time lasts forever, and having a positive attitude will help you weather the storm.
