Attitude - part 2

Further to my last post on getting your attitude right, here is part 2.

So in the last post the suggestion was that negative things (and people) are not going to help you get to a positive Attitude (or a YES Attitude as the author calls it).

And it is fair to say that negative thoughts and feelings are caused by real things that happen every day. The author says "shit happens, people happen and shit people happen".

"Your reaction to the negative crap, or negative people who enter your life (or in your life), is the FATE of your ATTITUDE." This re-enforces the mantra of who you hang around matters.

To break through the negative things the author provides a list of positive things that will help your attitude.....

  1. Anything funny - always aim to have fun
  2. Personal Meditation - your mind and body are interconnected
  3. Taking a walk - a great way to start the day or clear your mind (and get some sunlight)
  4. Positive self talk - praise yourself
  5. Helping others without expectation - it will pay you back handsomely 
  6. Random acts of kindness - it is good for business
  7. Small Daily Successes - we overlook little successes
  8. Hanging around successful people - you'll become the next successful person but hang around idiots and guess what...?
  9. Anything motivational or inspirational - see 14 below
  10. Killing people with kindness - do the right thing
  11. Most things educational - make sure you are doing things to make you a better person
  12. Something you do with passion - have a hobby or find a passion
  13. Talking to a child / children (with permission if not you own) - most kids are optimistic and positive
  14. Positive quotes on Social Media - Facebook, You Tube etc... - there has been a fair bit on the Lockforce Facebook Group.
I am sure that you do some of these things naturally which is great but maybe you didn't appreciate how significant your actions are to your success.

And if that is the case how much more could you do so that you become more successful.

After all......

Don't Put Up With Unwanted Sales Calls.... Taking Positive Action

Image
We all hate sales calls right...? We spend time and money to promote our business and get all excited about receiving a phone call from a potential customer and you hear the start of a standard sales pitch.......? Boring, frustrating and unwanted!! So take action... after all you are probably paying for the call to you and they are taking up your precious time. Firstly, ALWAYS answer you phone even if you think it is a sales call. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW and second guessing could cost you a lot of money as you will get some genuine calls from numbers outside of your dial code or from commercial businesses that have 0333 type numbers. Secondly if it is an unsolicited sales call don't be polite and let them do their pitch. Be professional and advise them that the call is unsolicited and you are not interested. Thirdly, Block numbers that you recognise to be sales calls. You can do this on most mobile phone. On our Tracking numbers we can block numbers if you let us know. ...

Sole Trader or Limited Company - what is the difference..?

 I have been asked on many occasions what is the difference between running your business as a Sole Trader versus a Limited Company...? In this article I set out some of the advantages and some disadvantages to give you a good idea, however I must caveat that I am not providing formal advice in this article and I am sure you can appreciate that the law does change over time and therefore you should seek proper legal advice before you decide which route you take. In our network today I would say that 75% are sole traders and 25% are limited company although there are more choosing Limited Company than previously. The Advantages Limited Liability separates your Personal Finances from your Business Finances.  This is one of the biggest reasons that people choose this route. As a sole trader the business is "you" and therefore should a customer have a claim against you (for loss, damages or similar) then a claim is against you personally and you would be required to settle the cl...

Brilliant Basics - Simple Things Done Well

Image
I was chatting to Tom (Taylor) in the car this afternoon and he told me about the latest Review of the Day from Tom Field (Pestforce). We get loads of fantastic reviews and only 1 can get nominated as ROTD. However, this review from Tom Field is BRILLIANT in that it simply encapsulates the key things that makes a great service business…………… and virtually none of the review talks about the actual technical stuff.  Speed of response (I say response. Ie. Response to talk (reply) to the customer not necessarily when the work is done.) Arrived promptly Engaging Took payment by card Received Treatment and Invoice Giving post service advice  It clearly demonstrates what was important to this customer and there are many others that highlight the same. And guess what, this attracts more customers who value the same……………… do you want to attract customers who value HOW you do things, and not just what you do…..?? I send this out to reinforce wh...
