Recession Proofing Your Attitude

Filed Under Personal Development, Self Help, Success

I was listening to a new MP3 I bought recently, How To Endure A Recession, by Fred Gleeck and Bob Bly the other day.

These marketing pros shared 16 practical tactics and strategies business owners can use to profit during a downturn in the economy. Some were cost saving measures and some were business generation techniques.

The most important point made during the discussion reminded me of a book I read a long time ago . iIt was Napoleon Hill’s book, Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude.

This quality is quite simply why it makes sense to maintain …

A Positive Mental Attitude

Now lets be clear about this I am not suggesting that if you assume a Positive Mental Attitude nothing bad will ever happen to you, because that’s just not true.

What I am saying is that if you follow what Napolean Hill says you will become more successful and be able to open doors for yourself that you never realized you could.

Part of the reason people have trouble getting started, completing important projects, and ultimately achieving success is they do not believe they actually can be successful. By not believing, they get caught-up in a negative thought process that derails them.

Know Any Worry Warts?

Have you ever met anybody like this? They get worried and dream-up all kinds of reasons why they will fail. This thought process is counter productive. By thinking this way they waste valuable time. Time they could be spending pursuing their goals.

The best way to overcome this tendency is to re-program the way you think. Clear your mind of the mental cobwebs of negativity. Re-program your emotions, feelings, habits and tendencies and take action.

Future Events

Why do people worry about a recession. Because they are afraid things are going to get bad. And you know what? They may.

But when you think about this rationally worrying about the future is a waste because it has not happened yet. And quite frankly, there is really nothing you can do to prevent a recession. Even if you have some great idea do you really think Fed Chairman, Ben Bernake is going to take your call let alone take your advice? No.

The Past

Others worry and get stuck in a cycle of re-examining what has happened in the past. I guess they think if they analyze the past enough they might be able to change something. However usually others have moved on and aren’t really interested in re-living the past.

So again, worrying about the past is a waste because there is nothing you can do to change the past. When you get stuck in this cycle realize what is happening and force yourself to move on to something more productive.

The Present

The best thing to focus on is the present because it is the only place a person can make a change that will really make a difference in their lives.

Take hold of your destiny by living in and creating your success in the present.
