A YES! Attitude Creates a Buying Attitude

"Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?"

Last week I posted about resolving to have a positive attitude and how you can make that happen. For that blog post click here. 

I came across an article in the weekly Gitomer Sales Caffeine E-zine (YES! Attitude Creates Word of WOW Marketing) that I wanted to share with all of you as you're working to build and maintain a positive attitude so you can achieve every goal you set and overcome any obstacle in your way. 

What a great story that Thomas shared about a former manager. You may not be a manager, but your attitude (whether positive or negative) has an impact on everybody you interact with and on your organization. If you work in sales your attitude rubs off on the potential customer and can lead to (or break) a sale. As a manger, your attitude can set the tone for a meeting or for an employees day. 

Like Thomas' manager said, of course he doesn't always feel "fantastic", but he doesn't let how he really feels that day get in the way of him making others feel fantastic (or turning his day around and making himself feel fantastic). And like I've written about in the past, the more you say and think you feel a certain way the closer you come to actually feeling that way. You can think to yourself that "the days sucks and nothing is going your way" then your day will continue to go down hill OR you can resolve to stay positive thinking "today is a great day; nothing will stop me from having a great day". The choice is yours!

Take the time to practice having a positive attitude and sharing it with others...yes, I'm talking about practice! (in my awful Allen Iverson voice impression). 

I hope you're all still going strong on your 2012 resolutions. If you need motivation, encouragement, or guidance on anything fitness or health related (or anything at all for that matter) please don't hesitate to contact me. Here's to making 2012 your best year ever!
