How Can Changing My Attitude Lead to a More Successful Business?

[lacychef]

I know we've discussed "The Secret" here before.....I was watching Oprah yesterday & she had people on there talking more in depth about it. Some people shared how it has changed their lives---I am so amazed by it.
Anyway, while watching the show, I realized this slump I've been in w/PC is my own fault. (well, duh right!) I realized awhile back that I actually typed out

Spoiler

I'm in a bookings slump

(that was fun using that feature!) Well of course that's what's been happening...I actually wrote it! Even though I usually am a positive person.
So, my attitude is now changing to even more positive....I am going to be blessed with abundant bookings! I am going to sign more recruits! I am going on that trip to Miami!

Thanks for letting me rant a little----I've got it typed out, now I'm going to write down my goals on paper & make a dream board.
Those of you that have also had a tough time lately, let's all change to the positive & see what the results are:thumbup:

I'm with ya! I watched the same episode and it really made me realize how I am holding myself back from successes in my life. I am "starting to plant the seeds" towards my PC success! That is so what I needed to hear...planting the seeds...b/c I am...I mean WAS...the type of person that if I don't see success NOW I feel like a failure.

Maybe we can be eachothers attitude change buddies

I totally believe that a positive attitude will always bring you positive results. I wish one of my friends would finally read that book - she has it, but hasn't read it, and she is full of negativity and drama. She needs it more than anyone!!!

Thanks for sharing - good luck to you!!

Way to go Lacy!! You KNOW that this will result in super POSITIVE changes in your business!!

Ooh, I didn't know you'd break out into song!

I'd tap dance...but I've been asked not to dance in public- so I had to sing! :sing:

Lacy, I am with you!!!!!!!!! Let's change our attitudes so that we can earn the trip and change our lattitudes!!!

MEG!
Change your mood from blah! It does not reflect the shiny you, you are becoming

Lacy, good for you. I had a really hard time last fall and had no idea why, once I identified it, and decided to change it...well, you know what happened!!

I hate to say it by I came back from conference and all my mental self talk was so negative, I couldn't stop it and I didn't realize it, for what it was at the time.
My icky self talk stats:
Aug 07 1505.00
sept 07 15.00
oct 07 431
nov 07 0.00
dec 07 692
no recruits and 4 whopping shows after conference for 6 months! WTF! oops WTH!

Doesn't matter now, I realized that I can be the only enemy I will ever need. I still can be, I am sure you can relate Lacy.
I have decided that if I wouldn't say it to a child or a brand new recruit, I will not allow myself to say it about me!
I am worthy of a successful business and a happy and warm fuzzy team!
and so are you.


eek! hijack over...let's all go kick ass!

 

[lacychef]

LOL Cheryl---love ya girl! Thanks for sharing your journey.

It's crazy, cause I've read the book & believe it all....I guess I just wasn't being fully aware of my thoughts & let some negative ones take over; because I am usually always positive. I am now committed to be more aware.

OK Meg, & Liquid Sky.....let's go kick some booty! And everyone else

 

[chefmeg]

ya know, the most amazing thing happend to me.....not long after I read this post and thought to myself "OK, pity party OVER", I got an email from a new friend that she would like to do a show in July!
That is all it took! I have been going through my contacts and seeing all the people that mentioned doing a show in the summer, and I will be dialing for dollars tonight!

 

[Koolotus]
