Positive Mental Atittude

I have had a few people comment on my positive attitude, and ask me about “OPM.” Basically OPM=other people’s money. It’s quite simple really if you keep a positive attitude others will be attracted to you and when you are genuine about it, people will be drawn to you, and trust in you; therefore, spend their money on what you want them to. The more positive you are the better you feel about yourself and about the situations you are in. As soon as you start doubting yourself or being negative about the situation that’s when you start to not think straight. As soon as that happen that’s when you lose the sale or people start to lose interest. That is why it is important to always be genuine and stay positive. I guarantee that if you keep your attitude in cheque your numbers or sales will increase. PMA=OPM!

Now I’m not saying staying positive is easy or that it comes naturally. It takes hard work and constant thought. I will let you in on my secret. I always recommend having a small object that is able to fit in your pocket to help you stay positive. I say this only because having a stimulant is very helpful for times when it’s not easy to stay positive. I have a wedding ring on my right hand; it’s my drive to be positive, it’s my constant reminder of what I want in the future. It helps me to set goals and helps to achieve them. I way I look at a sale is this, every time I get a “no” I take that no and put in my pocket, and when I go home and someone asks me for something, or wants me to go out, I have to pull that “no” out of my pocket and give it to them. It helps me during the sale to better the odds at getting the yes. The ring is my reminder that I can’t accept those no’s, and I know to myself that I must be positive, assume the sale, and the more i stay positive the people want what I have/sell. Honestly that’s my secret!

I have had anger problems in the past, and have had a hard time staying positive and always seeing the upside in every situation. Having that ring on my finger is a constant reminder to me that I can’t be that way and that I must be positive so I don’t have to go home and hand those no’s out. What’s the worst that can happen from the constant reminder? It works for me, it’s the help that I need at a last resort, but I definitely don’t rely on.

There was a quote that I find from an unknown author “The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.” I’ll leave you on that not. Think about it a bit see what happens.
