Summer Challenges

7th August 2014

The last week or so has been rather frustrating for me, as I have had a number of meetings cancelled or postponed. The reasons have been varied, but mostly because the sort of businesses I deal with are often family run, and of course at this time of year a lot of people find that family holidays and other commitments tend to take over. Also, the employees of these businesses take holidays as well, and as a result late postponements of meetings can easily occur.

Naturally I am aware of this possibility, but nevertheless it can be a little annoying, and if several people cancel in a row, it can be a little dispiriting as well. However, for those of you who regularly read my blog will know, I am not one for dwelling on the negatives for long, as I know that things will soon improve. In fact last week when I was having a little moan to my team, I quickly realised that not only was this going to drag my employees down too, it also meant that I was far more likely to attract further negative events. Consequently I snapped out of this attitude, and said that I was certain that bad things never continued for long, and that no doubt I would soon be feeling completely different. Within an hour or so of this statement, I received a call from a great new lead and booked a meeting which I am certain will result in more new business. Positive thoughts attracting positive things.

So if you find yourself feeling that the world is against you, don’t dwell on this for long, as it won’t help you to turn things around. If you find it difficult to think positive on your own, call me, because I feel certain that I can help you.
