Attracting Business in a Tight Market : Part 1 - Attitude
ATTITUDE – This is the most important element that frames our success. When things are going great, it’s easy to stay upbeat and to love what we’re doing. But what about when the market slows down, or customers fall on hard times, or employees start leaving? That’s when it becomes even more important for us to stay in good shape by keeping a check on our attitudes.
What types of thoughts are plaguing you right now? Are they negative or positive? In most down markets, our attitudes eventually tend to follow the downward trend. But if we take a moment here and think about this, we’ll see that this is the worst thing that we can allow to happen.
You see, we attract that which we think about. So if we convey a feeling of worry, if we demonstrate an attitude of scarcity, then that is what we receive back into our lives. If you study physics, then you understand this principle; if you study life, you see it in action. If I tell myself I’m going to have a lousy month, then guess what? You can bet I will.
So let’s begin today by telling ourselves that business is plentiful and we will attract the right customers for the right reasons. Do you have an attitude of gratitude? If you do, then that is the message your prospects and customers will receive when they meet with you.
Then let’s follow it up with actions. As seasoned business people, you and I both know that all the thinking in the world won’t move another person or thing into doing something. Action has to occur on our part in order for change to take place. So let’s start thinking in ways to attract that business, and then follow it up with some decisive steps. As always, if you’d like to have a quiet, creative place to clarify your visions, a coach can help. And I am here for you.
Have a Golden Day!
