“The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude.” William James
“Attitude is defined as any strong belief or feeling toward people and situations. Attitudes are not quick judgements that you make casually and can easily change. You have acquired attitudes throughout your life and they are deeply ingrained in your personality.” Bob Goyer
Your attitude not only affects your performance, but it affects others as well. It can positively affect other workers or it can act as a cancer and negatively affect other's work performance.
What we say and think has a powerful influence on the world around us. Your attitude can sometimes define you more than the work you actually produce.
Following are a few examples of how you can develop and maintain a good attitude:
Avoid negativity. Stay away from people with bad attitudes.
Give everyone the benefit of the doubt.....trust first!
Be a team player. Do things that benefit the entire group.
Don’t complain.
Don’t bad mouth your co-workers, your competitors, your clients, or your company.
Don’t gossip.
Focus on the good in everything. I started my real estate career in a recession. Had I listened to the nay-sayers who said that I would fail, where would I be now?
If you lose a listing or a deal, don’t let it get you down. Move on to the next. Focus on the ones you can get.
When something isn’t working, find a way to make it work or try something else. James Yorke said “The most successful people are those who are good at Plan B.”
Change “I can't” to “I can” in your vocabulary.
When the going gets rough, keep your sights On Your goals.
Take responsibility for your own life, Do not blame others for your
problems. You have to take control yourself.
Write down the good things about yourself. What are your strengths,abilities, skills, and personal qualities? Make yourself feel good about yourself.
Successful people are the ones with good attitudes. Read this article again and do a self-analysis. Is your attitude creating positive or negative energy, around you and within you? Attitude is a choice. Opt for the smile and feel good about the accomplishments that arise from it!
