Remind yourself that everyone in your life deserves your smile and your nice self. You’ll get what you need in return when you give them your best.

It takes just as much energy to be positive as it does to be negative.

Be it visual cues, mantras, or journal writing, you must continually work on your good attitude because, as you know, it doesn’t automatically get delivered each morning to your doorstep. (Though MySalesDay helps, right?)

Not everyone can flip the switch and put on a happy face at a moment’s notice, and selling is one of those professions where a happy face matters a ton.

The work you put in to consistently maintain a good attitude is important to your customers and workmates – and to you, too!

Today, go to the bank and withdraw $100 in single bills. Next, carve a slit in the top of a jar to receive those $1 bills.

You’re now ready to insert a dollar bill into the jar each time you say something positive…to anyone. That anyone could be a customer, a teammate…or the barista who makes your morning brew.

Try to spend that $100 as fast as you can.

Will it take four days? Three? TWO? (Whoa.)

When you’ve stuffed all the dollars into your "Positive Pot," spend that money on yourself as a reward and reinforcement of the power of positive statements.

Words matter…positive words matter most.

You’ve consumed tons of material in your life about how to switch on a good attitude, but these three quick and easy tricks do work:

1. Smile. Yep…it feels weird to force a smile, but you’ll notice that when you turn on your smile, it’ll trigger a fun memory. If smiling doesn’t launch a good memory, go into your phone and search for that one photo that contracts your cheeks.

2. Be nice. Make it a point to be nicer when replying to everyone you touch today – internal peers, higher-ups, prospects, clients…even the creep who looks at you weirdly when handing over your coffee.

3. Get back to your WINS JOURNAL and read some entries….better yet, record a few entries for the day…even if it’s not yet 6pm (which is when one normally records wins of the day).

If all else fails, remind yourself that everyone in your life deserves the above: they deserve your smile, and they deserve your nice self. When you give them your best, you’ll get what you need in return.

Happy happy joy joy!

Tony Robbins is super motivating and certainly someone who exudes positivity. So now is a good time to get another dose of Tony’s wisdom in this 3-minute video.

One of Tony’s key lines might help those who feel worn down – a common affliction for sellers, "The biggest problem people have is they think they shouldn’t have any…but problems are the fuel for growth."

Positive attitudes flourish more when your purpose is strong. Tony says, "Figure out what you want and why you want it. That creates reasons that drive you at any time during the day."

Still…watch Tony.
