Attitude - my learnings from a little Gold Book

 I am reading a little book called The Little Gold Book of Yes Attitude.... it is by Jeff Gitomer.

Yes a boy from Croydon CAN actually read, albeit a little slow 😃.


I am not a lover of reading but I do appreciate learning and sharing things that resonate with me and that I know could help others. Maybe even you...?
I tend to listen to audio books instead.
But right now I'm reading, appreciating and sharing!!
In our business we talk about having the right ATTITUDE if you want to be more successful. I often talk about the "Top 20" as being the place you should be if you want to be successful.
Without doubt your ATTITUDE can make or break YOUR success in business and life.
This book is all about attitude and while we all have a good appreciation of what "attitude" means, but do you actually think, reflect and take action to improve your attitude?
You have the choice to learn, change, adapt and improve. But, it is up to you.
And if you find yourself saying "I can't change" or "this crap isn't for me" then you are limiting your success.
I recommend this book to read but I am also going to share some of the contents with you....
I was particularly taken with How Negative thoughts and feelings can (and do) have an impact on you and other around you, thus creating a negative ATTITUDE.......
  1. They drain your energy
  2. They BLOCK positive thought
  3. They cause stress
  4. They cause worry
  5. They cause illness
  6. They BLOCK creative thought
  7. They cause errors
  8. They reduce productivity
  9. They cause anger
  10. They prolong painful situations
  11. They affect the way you listen to others
  12. They affect the way you communicate with others
  13. The affect the way you deal with others
  14. They take the fun out of your life
We are all human and suffer highs and lows everyday but the sooner we start to really appreciate and understand how our negative feelings and reactions to situations (and other people) CAUSES US MORE HARM... then maybe we can all CHANGE to a POSITIVE ATTITUDE and outlook MORE of the time.
I'll share some more from the book on my next post.

Turning Customers into Raving Fans....

  Check this out.... I was in London the other weekend watching my daughter Tori doing the London 10K run. It was a great little run through the streets of the West End, along the Embankment, past Big Ben and then to Downing Street. At the end of the run we decided to go for lunch in Covent Garden.  You'll probably know that there are lots of restaurants around Covent Garden and there is a certain one called Flat Iron. It was recommended to us but you can't book. After a short walk we arrived to find a queue of people waiting to get in for meal. And I mean a queue - check out the photo. We were starving so we didn't bother waiting and moved on. However, this got me thinking... how can a little restaurant attract so much attention and yet other restaurants nearby were empty? What was this place doing that clearly had raving fans queuing to get in for food? I appreciate that we are in a very different market than a restaurant but doesn't it make you think?  What am I doin...

Learn From the Best..... a chat with Carl Traviato

Image
In business we all need to learn.... and the best way to learn is to find people who are good at what they do, spend time with them, listen and learn. The facts in business are that only 20% of businesses in the UK are in really good shape and only 5% absolutely killing it. It can be hard to know the truth from the bullshit so you need to be astute and be good at filtering out the good from the bad. Here is one person in the network who I can assure you is good at what he does and more importantly, how he does it.... It is a 25 minute video but watch, listen and learn.

Where is your AIM?

Image
Check out this image....    This is from a workbook from a recent conference I attended. As you know I try and attend a few external conferences to extend, or reinforce, my knowledge. This picture resonated with me so much as I know it to be true for so many business owners. So my question to you is...... Where is your AIM? I appreciate that is quite a big question so let's just start with the current year... 2024. Have you got a Sales Target (aim) for this current year? Or maybe you work to the tax year which ends in a few weeks? And if you have a bigger AIM for the future does your aim for 2024 get you closer to where you want to be..? I have attached a link in this blogger to a spreadsheet that may help you calculate your AIM for the current year.  Sales calculator (stress free sales) The sheet works to a monthly Sales figure which should help to assess what level of sales you require each month. Simply download the file and fill in the yellow cells and see what is sho...
