12 Ways to Shake Up Your Attitude and Your Business

Are you stuck in a rut?

There are many things going on right now that are not particularly pleasant or enjoyable. Many of those things, though, are out of our control. What we can change and what we do have control over is how we think, approach things and apply solutions.

I see people putting way too much focus on what they can’t do and not nearly enough focus and action on what they can do.

Fear, routine and habit can be such action and progress killers. If you want something to change then you have to put the actions in place and create the motion. Make a plan, have a process and work on it every day.  Don’t let a lack of motivation and willingness lead you to hopelessness. There is always hope and a way through. Take actions you probably don’t believe in yet and trust your instincts.

stuck in rut

Here are 12 actions you can take that will help you get unstuck, move you in a new direction, improve your way of thinking and lead you to more hope and optimism:

  • Look at what you are doing, who you are hanging out with and what habits you have settled into. Change people, places and things that are not motivating and moving you forward. It will make a big difference.
  • Change your routine. Go a different direction, change your route, switch the time of day you do certain things.
  • Connect more with others. Don’t isolate; be more social and interactive. Don’t try to handle everything yourself.
  • Call friends; don’t wait for them to call you. Reach out and connect with people who make you feel good and with whom you can talk honestly.
  • Read positive, uplifting information daily that educates and motivates.
  • Try a new hobby, be it cooking, tennis, painting or playing the guitar.
  • Finish a project. Completing things (even small things) and moving on to others can give us a sense of accomplishment.
  • Volunteer at something you believe in. Nothing works better to cure feeling discouraged or sorry for yourself than getting outside yourself and helping others.
  • Change a bad habit. It really is powerful for self esteem.
  • Take a calculated risk or chance. What do you have to lose, as long as the risk is thoughtful and proactive?
  • Be adventuresome and try something different. It’s actually quite exhilarating!
  • Act “as if.” It’s a great way to practice and eventually move you closer to how you really want to be and feel.

Get into action and shake things up – it will shake you up. Stop talking about what’s not happening and what you can’t do. Shift your focus to what you can do – and do it.

Shaking things up doesn’t have to cost a lot, either.  The Simple Dollar site offers ideas for 100 things you can do on a money-free weekend. Guaranteed full refund if it doesn’t dramatically change your mindset and outlook!

Sometimes, price is an attitude

Passed a store the other day. The sign read 99 CENTS! And the subtitle was, “Everything $1 and up”.

The 99 cent store was never popular because there’s some magical power about the price that is a penny less than a dollar. No, it’s because it represents an attitude, that this stuff is CHEAP. Not absolute cheap, just relatively cheap. Not even a good value, just cheap. Cheap compared to its non-cheap competition.

At the other end of the spectrum, the prices at the Hermes store appear to be missing a decimal point or two. The attitude is, “wow, this stuff is expensive.” It’s not about what you get, it’s about how it feels to pay that much.

Attitude for Success

Guest post by Cliff

It is a simple concept actually. Attitude. Success. To put it into a formula attitude = success. This is important for anyone wanting to have success in business. This can go for any type of business, but one in particular I am interested in talking about today is business online.

Your attitude can make or break your online business, no matter what type you may have. I am finding more and more people are turning to blogs and websites that deliver content in a certian niche to make their money. Your attitude is especially important when you are dealing with this type of business. The content business is picky. You do not really have time to slack. You have to research, write, and do it all over again.

Let me ask you something. What would you do if your business (website or blog) started to pick up and you actually started seeing some cash flow. Would you take a vacation to the Virgin Islands or would you take your mini success and build on it to help your business grow? If you said the second answer, you have the right mindset for building a successful online business that will not only bring you wealth quicker, but will allow you to enjoy that wealth long term.

There are many aspects of your attitude that matter. Work ethic and dedication are the most important. If you are the type of person who procrastinates, then you will have a problem in this business. Buyers, or your visitors, do not wait for you to decide when it is convienent for yourself to deliver to them. They will go elsewhere and often do for that type of person. Dedication is equally important. If you are not dedicated to what you do, how can you produce quality information. How can you really help other people with their problems. People shop for items, or browse the web for two reasons. To find answers and for entertainment. Most people browse for answers. Think about it. How many times a day do you type a question into Google? Probably many times an hour. So you have to deliver content and be dedicated so that the content that you deliver will be quality to help the “consumer” with their needs.

I hope this gave you some brain food to think on that will help you decide what type of attitude would be right for success. A good business person will make money with their business. A great business person will make money and grow their business. Thank you for reading.
