Today I'm revealing the last of 10 Business Truths That Matter.  Let's review the previous nine first...

1. Plan, develop and execute a realistic, prudent business plan; then, constantly monitor it. 
2. Examine, evaluate and insure that you have the right people in the right job and the right number of people at work in your business. 
3. Know your market and where the potential exists. 
4. Know your competition: what they are doing in the market; what strengths they are leveraging; and, where they are vulnerable. 
5. Effectively manage your advertising and marketing activities to maximize results.  
6. Tell and demonstrate your value story: build your personal brand in the marketplace. 
7. Broaden your sales and leadership skills, the skills of your team; and, your product and service knowledge. 
8. Build your business retention results by growing your client knowledge level.  
9. Develop great work/life balance. 

And here's #10:

10)  Always maintain a positive attitude. Though many people might have adverse opinions, having a positive attitude is perhaps the most critical factor to positioning oneself for success. Filling your mind with only the negative simply pushes your response factor to expect only the worst in virtually any action. Author Andy Andrews in his great book, The Travelers Gift reflects the critical importance of positive thinking. His battle with homelessness and poverty enabled him to create the famous 7 Decisions for Personal Success:

** The buck stops here.  I am responsible for my past and my future.

** I will seek wisdom.  I will be servant to others.

**  I am a person of action.  I seize this moment.  I choose now.

**  I have a decided heart.  My destiny is assured.

** Today, I will choose to be happy.  I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.

**  I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit.  I will forgive myself.

** I will persist without exception.  I am a person of great faith

A positive attitude will not allow you to do everything; but, it will allow you to do more than a negative attitude will. You most often get what you think about. Positive attitudes can work miracles. As English writer Samuel Johnson said, “The habit of looking on the best side of every event is worth more than a thousand pounds a year.”

So how is your attitude? Do you see yourself winning or losing? Are you busy seeking solutions to your challenges or are you simply focusing on why the challenges happened to you? Is your attitude so positively contagious that even you are attracted to yourself? You have a choice. You can go through your life seeing the positives in every situation or you can seek to become a proud member of the negative thinking circle of honor. It is all a matter of your perspective. As famed golfer Arnold Palmer’s father once told him, “90% of success is from the shoulders up.”

The Energy Leadership™ Assessment

Leadership is more than a title or position. It is a way of life. By choice or default, everyone leads.

How often do you feel you are leading 
your life or career with intention?

How do you know that you are having an 
impactful influence in your role of leadership? 

How do you feel those you lead or those 
you interact with view you as a leader?

clearly know the answers to the questions? 

There is a very unique form of leadership known as Energy Leadership that helps you interrupt your leadership presence and better use your 7 distinct levels of energy for more effective results.

The Energy Leadership™ Assessment will provide the insight for you to discover the avenues to increase in financial success; leadership ability; greater engagement and excitement in your career; increase in productivity; improvement in time management; and, greater satisfaction in work-life balance.

 So let me ask you a question, 

“Have you ever held back from doing something because it was too risky?”

We probably all have done that at one time or another.

Taking a chance usually means we have something to lose,
and many of us shy away from losing.
Let’s face it, no one wants to lose. 

Still, taking chances is an integral part of life, 
and if we want our lives to change for the better, 
we have to become more aware of what we are willing and not willing to risk.

I have a special offer for you this month.
