Attitude, Do You Have One?-Monday Morning Memoir

December 1, 2008

Looking at the current financial crisis creates such a negative picture for everyone.  Have you checked your 401K lately? Have you looked at your bank statement? Everywhere you turn there is more bad news.  In Michigan its been like this for three years and no hope of it getting better soon.  If you have this feeling then, how do you think your employees are feeling.  At least as an entrepreneur you “feel” like you control your own destiny.  Everyday I try to arrive at work and keep a positive outlook all day.  Leave the bad news behind the front door and encourage everyone to treat the office like a “retreat” from the negativity out there.  We’re all selling something and your attitude bleeds over into your presentation.  Try a little reminder on your monitor to pick you up.
