A Positive Mental Attitude, You Don’t Have to Wait

Nobody likes to wait anymore. I work as a cashier and if some customers can’t walk right up to the cashier, pay their money and be gone, they get frustrated and angry. And that is if they don’t have a customer in line in from of them. Well, there is good news: when it comes to a positive mental attitude, you do not have to wait. You don’t have to wait until you win the lottery, you don’t have to wait until you have 1,000 visitors to your website, you don’t have to have your 100th sale. You can have a positive mental attitude immediately.

The choice is yours.

I find it helpful to reframe things. If, there is 10% fewer visits to my website, I will look at it as an opportunity to make improvements so that those visitors come back. Maybe I need to revamp my title and have it include more keyword phrases. Perhaps the advertising for the site is in the wrong area or has the keyword for the pay-per-click ad wrong. Instead of kicking myself with the negatives, I will look for the positive aspects.

This helps in Internet Marketing success. Too often people will quit when they have only tried one approach, and that approach was only tried half-heartedly. You will find that your energy level and your success will grow when you focus on all of the things that you have done right, and if some efforts haven’t been successful, then move one to a different activity: no where does it say that there is only one way to win at this business. While some have succeeded using their own method, you may not have enjoyed that same level of success.

You got to find your own path.

Have a GREAT day!

That Positive Mental Attitude Is Your Friend, Not Your Enemy

Admittedly, it is not always to easiest to maintain a positive mental attitude. You turn on the television to catch a bit of the evening news and you hear all the depressing stories about foreclosures, business failures, housing prices slipping, high unemployment, and perhaps you find lots and lots of things that you can start to dwell on that will depress you. It is no wonder why so many people are on anti-depressents because it is easier to take a small pill than to face the onslaught of bad news without it. What can you do? It seems hopeless sometimes.

It isn’t hopeless.

In order to succeed in life, in business, in any venture, you have to find a way to make it work. I am not advocating sticking your head in the sand and dreaming that when you emerge, the world will be a brighter, better place: It doesn’t work that way. I have been guilty of avoiding things, and I am sure that many others have been excellent at that as well. I have found that I have been much happier and much more successful from spending a lot less time watching television and letting it drain my mind and fill it with negative thought. I will occassionally catch the local news for a bit, but I cannot say that it has to be a regular part of my day.

There is so much to do out there that can fill your life with purpose and reward. When I was in college, I was introduced to a steady diet of positive mental attitude literature and tapes by my trumpet instructor and I will still ocassionally pick up on of those books and “recharge” my inner batteries so that I can face the world again. You can do the same thing. Replace a half hour of television watching with a half hour of positive mental attitude reading, listening, or doing. The rewards are immeasurable.

Have a GREAT day!

What Does It Take To Get You To BELIEVE In The Power of a Positive Mental Attitude?

There is great power in a positive mental attitude. Sometimes, when things are not going exactly as you have planned, it is difficult to realize that a positive mental attitude can help you, especially when you are working at succeeding as an Internet Marketing entrepreneur. We all have read the advertisements about how somebody instantly was earning  $1,000 a day and there was little or no work involved. Sorry, but that doesn’t happen by accident. If you went behind the scenes and followed the successful Internet marketers, then you would see countless hours of research, programming, and failures before the great success came. Success will come to you…

…but not without having expended a great deal of energy.

This is not to discourage you, but to educate you that you CAN be successful on the Internet, but you will have to do a bit of work. Just knowing that others have succeeded before you will help to fuel your fire. You will need to try many things, and you will want to try the things that work and discard those that do not. If a method fails for you, devote no more time and energy toward that but instead pour more into the things that work for you. 

 Success breeds success.

But you gotta believe. Have faith and KNOW that it will pay off in the long run.

Have a GREAT day!

Positive Mental Attitude - Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude

On of many sayings that comes to mind when Dealing with Positive Mental Attitude. When you have dreams and aspirations, it is better to have a great positive mental attitude, you will get further if you have one than if you engage in thought that is non-motivating. Can you imagine how far the NASA program would have gotten if all the engineers though of was that the rockets would never get much off the ground and the ship would come crashing down to earth?

Not very far.

Rather than think of all the reasons why you will fail at Internet Marketing (and there are a lot of reasons out there if you choose to listen to them), look and listen to all the reasons why you will succeed. Live on a steady diet of praise and possibility and you will be more nourished than if you attempt to live on a diet of scorn and failure. Personally, I would rather have praise then to be ridiculed and belittled. So I haven’t achieved a Bill Gates-type fortune yet, but I revel in the small accomplishments that I have achieved: I jumped for joy the first time that I have 50 hits in one day on my website. I did a jig when I finished my ebook, Never Surrender!! (about getting out of credit card debt). I will have tremendous joy when I write my second book, which will be finished by the end of summer.

You see, the little joy and praise that I get for my “small” victories ensure that I will continue to succeed and strive for even bigger gains in life. You can celebrate the great things (be they small things) in your own personal journey toward Internet Success.

Have a GREAT day!

How Can You Have A Positive Mental Attitude On A Monday?

THAT is an excellent question! It is a question that you probably ask every Monday. In the traditional work week, one would work eight hours each day Monday through Friday. Of course, time now are not what we would call traditional. There are so many variations of the forty-hour week now: Some people work four 10 hour shifts with three days off, some people work 3 twelve hour days with four days off, some work a blend of that with 3 ten hour days, 1 six hour day, and a short 4 hour day. Whatever your work week is and whenever it begins, the first day of that work week is usually the toughest to keep a positive mental attitude on.

It is a challenge.

But, it is one that can be met and easily surpassed if you have the habit of a positive mental attitude. It was mentioned a few posts ago that you can choose to look on the bright side of life if you please. I am not advocating a PollyAnna-type of approach to where everything is bright and shiny and happy, because it is not. Train yourself to find the good things that are happening instead of focusing on the bad things. Your mind is a wonderful tool that has the ability to draw you toward that which you think about. If you have a sniffle and you focus on how poor your are going to feel, you will start to feel worse. If, on the other hand, you focus on how good the other parts of you feels, your sniffle will diminish in importance.

It works this way with Internet Marketing as well. If you focus on how little money you have and how little money your website is generating, despite how well-planned and well-designed it may be, you will continue to get little trickles of traffic to your website and pennies in your pocket.

Focus on how well you are doing! See what changes make more traffic come your way! Be flexible enough to make and accept changes as they assist you in your goal to become financially independent (or you may have a smaller goal of making an extra $100 a month, but you don’t have to limit yourself to just that).

What you think about, you bring about. For example, I have been thinking about writing an ebook on how to eliminate credit card debt fot the last few months, and because that was a dominating thought in my head, it finally came into being (you can get your own copy here). It works the same way with any goal you may have, it all begins with a positive mental attitude.

Have a GREAT day!

Positive Mental Attitude - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

As a holder of a degree in music, I love songs! Not any one particular genre, but songs in general. When I think of positive mental attitude I think of the Monty Python song Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.Whatever you focus on, you tend to gravitate toward. If all you ever think about is how you are poor and you don’t have enough money, guess what? … You will be poor and not have enough money. If, instead, you focus on the things that you have going your way and how successful those are, you will be harvesting feelings of empowerment and success.

It is up to you!

Instead of focusing on the $1,000 that you don’t have, focus on the $100 that you do. It is much like the parable of the three servents of a master who were entrusted with the master’s money while he was away. Two of the servants used the money to make more money for the master and they were rewarded with more responsibility and praise. But one who simply looked on the negative side and didn’t want to lose what was given him hid the money and had only that money to return to his master. His indecisiveness and laziness and fear caused him to lose what was to be his reward.

What reward are YOU missing because of your fear and laziness? You know that you will get out of something what you put into it and that you should not fear.  In fact, I recall reading a Zig Ziglar book, See You At The Top that stated the fear stand for False Expectations Appearing Real. Be fearless and you will improve your chance for success.

Have a GREAT day!
