ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING 10/09/2009
Smile and the whole world...wonders what your are thinking! People rarely walk out the door in the morning without taking a quick physical inventory of themselves in the mirror: shirt properly tucked in—check, matching heels—check, smooth shave—check, makeup that is neither reminiscent of circus clowns or dramatic theater—check, as creatures, we humans understand that our outer appearance needs to conform, at least somewhat, to the outside world’s standards. No one wants to see the not-so-attractive us who rolls out of bed with stick-up hair and bad breath, and we can’t blame them—they shouldn’t have to. We are collectively grateful that people display an esthetically pleasing image of themselves for us. However, people’s efforts to be presentable should be more than skin deep. Handsome or beautiful as we may appear after we’ve undergone our daily physical transformation, we sometimes forget to self-check an area of even greater importance. We forget the immense and irrevocable impact of attitude. We show up to a meeting dazzled up in our closet’s finest, the best meeting technology in our briefcase, but we are in a nasty mood. Unfortunately, all the glitz, glamour, and cologne in the world cannot help us. We stink of bad attitude. Whether or not the audience voices it, they can tell, and they are repulsed by us. All the best techniques, the most effective tools, the wit of a presentation—none of those appeal to the men and women listening to a speaker whose internal negativity is contaminating the room. A bad attitude is detrimental for two reasons. 1. Bad attitudes are contagious. Even if we do not voice negative thoughts, they are often perceived at the subconscious level, dispersing themselves until they become a widespread plague. 2. People who are aware of attitude’s highly contagious properties tend to run away the moment they identify negativity, leaving those with bad attitudes with no business associates, followers, or friends. On the flip side, the excellent news is that good attitude has the same attributes. 1. Good attitude is contagious, serving as an uplifting breath of fresh air to all those within a close radius. 2. People are drawn to those who have a good attitude, creating a network of people who don’t even know why they want to be around us. So when we get up in the morning, before we walk out the door, while we make sure that we have fresh smelling breath and that we have applied deodorant, we should also check that we are immersed in the sweet aroma of a positive attitude towards ourselves, others, our business and our life. SMILE....it IS contagious! Andrea :) CommentsLeave a Reply |  Hi, my name is Andrea Pekarik Welch. Welcome to my blog and website.
I LOVE small business entrepreneurs! They keep our country alive and well and my respect for their time, attention and devotion is only second to the people who guard and protect our country, our military. Without the small business person, our economy would be even more devastated. I, myself, learned the ins and outs of the typical "brick and mortar" business and know without a doubt that I never want that kind J.O.B. (the one you "buy") rule my life ever again. I found a better way to help people, create a fabulous income and stimulate the economy. You can be in complete control of your financial future with very little overhead, no paperwork, no inventory and no employees. Be well and God Bless.
