A Positive Attitude

Let's be real. Not all people are cut out to be an entrepreneur. The things that it takes to be one can be either the same or different for everyone. However we can all agree that having a positive attitude is essential in being a successful entrepreneur. Either things don't go our way, or it takes to long to get results. Whichever way thing decide to go, we have to take light in the fact that later in the future as long as we stick with what we are doing, we will be successful. The life of an entrepreneur is surrounded by negativity. People around us may not understand why we do what we do, or they may not understand how it works, but it is up to us to show them that they can prepare for a better future just like we have. There is an expression that many people use and they say 'Keep your head up'. A little while ago, I was having some trouble in life and I tried to reiterate this statement by saying 'Keep your head up, but only if your at the top of the water'. The thing that I later came to realize is that entrepreneurs are the ones that keep kicking and keep their heads high even when things look down. We have to find any avenue of happiness possible. In building a successful anything in your life, a lot of work is involved. I for one learn this each and everyday. The thing is, if we choose to listen to the things that are around us, we will never be successful. We go to a web site and we see someone with the same add that we are about to post. Do you say 'well this must be a great web site to post at then.' and steer your ad around it; or do you say 'Well I cant post here nobody can see me because of that guy'. The attitude that we have affects everything that we do. We all have an attitude whether it be good or bad, however it is not the way we feel for the moment that matters. What matters is the over all feeling that we have everyday. When you first wake up are you happy? Something bad happens, does it just bounce off of you? Sure you may be mad for the moment. Your child may have hurt themselves or you may have had to discipline them, but at least they wont do it again. Even if they do they will know that they are doing something wrong. I for one have always had a positive attitude and I can say from years of experience there is a brighter side to everything. It is up to us to find it. Some people give up. Something bad happens and they look for a way out, then there isn't one and they fold under pressure. Sometimes things wont clear up for a while. Sometimes it will take days months or years for that better time to come. If we can see it however, it makes the now so much better and we can take pride and keep that positive attitude in everything that we do. It is up to only us to succeed.
