8/9/2023-Attitude

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.

Is attitude a skill or a trait? ("Oh, whatever…fine, BOTH.")

Nice attitude.

It’s broadly understood a good attitude can push you through to great performance heights.

Most of the time, sellers are incredibly positive and undeterred, but headwinds are constant and get intense, even for the most resolute. Some days you need to decide that you’ll be positive…and today may be one of those days.

Even if you woke up feeling mentally – and physically – strong, there is always room for more!

Ready to kick it up?

Today, take it higher by doing ONE attitude pushup!

(Huh?)

It’s a pushup dedicated entirely to getting on the floor to do a pushup…(ha). One pushup! That’s it. It’ll set you straight for the day!

Enough small talk…get on the floor and into pushup position.

Here we go: on the way down, state aloud in a proud voice, "I can do anything, and nothing’s stopping me today. Seriously. Repeat that phrase on the down. On the way up, say, "I am strong, capable and I’m gonna be confident and positive all* day."

Go ahead and pick whatever mantra you want, but without a verbal proclamation of your decision to be positive, the maneuver is just a regular pushup.

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!

So, you did your attitude pushup and it feels good, huh? Ready to CONQUER THE WORLD today? Fantastic.

Tomorrow, try for TWO APs. Next day, three. Pretty soon, you’ll be ready for a no-hands pushup. (A WHAT?)

There are no limits to where a strong, good attitude can take you; apparently, there aren’t any limits to pushups, either. Check out this 2-minute amazing demo of a no-hands pushup and daydream about where you can go with your new-found positive energy.
