There is a movie I love called 'Rudy'. It is based on a true story. It is about a young man, not the brightest and he has no athletic ability. He wanted to play football for Notre Dame. Everyone laughed at his dream but he has no doubt that it will happen. He is the definition of positive attitude and the example of what it can accomplish. His grades were poor, he had no money to pay the tuition and he was only 5' 2" with no skills to play football. Of course the University of Notre Dame turned down his application. When people say dreams don't come true, tell them about Rudy. Sometimes a winner is a dreamer who just won't quit. Rudy slept where he could, took whatever job he could get, bartered to get tutoring to bring up his grades in a community college. He never gave up. He believed that he would play for Notre Dame and after two years of applying, he not only got into the school, he got accepted on it's football team. How could a 5' 2" young man with no athletic skills get to play for one of the best college football teams in the country. There is an old saying.....It's not the size of the dog in the fight, It's the size of the fight in the dog.... Rudy with a positive attitude and hard work made an impossible dream to be possible.

A long time ago, my company had a business consultant working with my employees to create a more positive attitude. The consultant put a plaque on the wall and made the entire staff read what it said...." God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I can not change..... The courage to change the things I can..... And the wisdom to know the difference. " The consultant explained that when we fail in business, we get caught up in trying to fix what went wrong. We can not accept failure and keep working on this failing project and find it hard to admit defeat. When a business project has failed, admit that you failed and then move on to the next project. Take the loss, accept it. Do not put more time and money in a failing project. Even though you have failed at a project, it doesn't mean that you are a failure or that your business is a failure. Look for a totally new project with new ideas. Remember, that you are a winner. You can affect real positive change in the company. If you do not let your mind get caught up in all the negativity from your loss and work on those changes that will show what a winner you are. You have to have a positive attitude and realize that you can not control everything. You will realize the things that you can control and work them. A good and successful businessman knows which projects to work on and which ones to abandon.

When faced with a challenge, optimist look for opportunities. Negative thinkers just give up. They think it is always going to fail. It is important for a company to hire positive thinkers and to train its employees in positive thinking.
There are workshops that train in the art of positivethinking. They will first look for negative attitudes and thinking in the company. A bad apple in the bunch can ruin the whole bunch. If you have an employee that doesn't want to work, he can affect the attitude of other workers. Next, you look for bad habits in the company. You can break the cycle of pessimism and negative thinking. After you rid the company of negativity, you work on creating a positive environment. If the company has areas where it has failed in the past, you can teach the employees to move one rock at a time and with time the whole mountain will be moved. We will tackle the problem areas with an attitude that 'we are what we think we are.' If we think we are winners , then we will be winners. It will take hard work and tackling one step at a time. With time we can rewire all the employees to believe that they have a winning team and to get them motivated to work toward that winning goal. To train them not to let a failure make them think that they have failed. But as winners, they will know that they can resolve this problem and win in the end.

Well then, you are in good company. Thomas Edison, the great inventor often felt that way. "Discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I'll show you a failure." If you are one that hustles and takes chances then you feel feel frustrated at times. During those times of trying and frustration, you need to keep a positive attitude and it will happen. "Many of life's failures are people who do not realize how close to success they were, when they gave up." Why did Thomas Edison succeed? He succeeded because he did not give up. When he invented the light bulb, he had three thousand tries that did not work. He did not look at it as failures but as stepping stones toward success. Having a positive attitude is the key. Thomas Edison claims that he never made a discovery. He just took over where someone else gave up and he didn't give up. http://www.weebly.com/weebly/apps/readDraft.php?draftId=895351085906314695&userId=57188033 To be successful in business, you have to be an innovator. Apple is the most successful company in history. It has a stock value of twice it's closest competitor. How did this company get to be so successful? For starters their products are years ahead of their competitors. They have a motto that they and only they will come up with the next better product. Apple has a rule that they will not make a product unless they can make a better product than their competition. If all they can do is make an equal product, then they will not produce that product. So they got their reputation as the best in the market for now and for the future. Their customer service and in-store experience are great. Apple sells in retail stores, which is known for any other company to fail. You have to sell at discount prices to succeed. Well Apple proved that retail can work. They make it work by keeping their products simple to use and their stores ready and able to help their customers. Their success is a mixture between a superior product and great customer service. http://www.weebly.com/weebly/apps/readDraft.php?draftId=803914833744021679&userId=57188033 A Japanese beer company called Kirin Brewery decided to become part of Shared Value Initiative. They wanted to effect social change. First, they felt that as a company providing alcoholic beverages that they should share the responsibility for drunk driving. So they developed the first non-alcoholic beverage that taste like beer called Kirin-free. Drunk driving in Japan has decreased 63% in the last 20 years and Kirin would like to think that they played a part. When an earthquake hit in 2011 in Japan, Kirin launched a support program providing six million yen to assist in the reconstruction efforts. They also are using the juice of pears produced in the Fukushima region. This area had rumors after a nuclear accident that were not true that the trees were harmful. One does not think of an alcoholic company as benefiting society, but as Kirin Co. has proven with shared valueinitiative, we all can help each other by working together toward a common .

You don't make mistakes. you don't gamble unnecessarily. You protect your lead. You make sure nobody gets hurt. You got to use these guys in the next game. We won this game. What if we had a good guy tuna company that was on the porpoise team? A lot of guys will buy that so their kids will not get mad at them. We don't care how much it cost to protect the porpoise, just how much it makes. If it cost too much, then we charge a penny more. We could advertise, would you pay a penny more to save a fish? Let the other companies build their plants in the wrong places. Let's be the company that makes the rules, plays fair, that's popular. Forget those nuclear power plants till we know they're safe. That refinery in Pagglesham, we will have to relocate it. It will cost us millions, but we don't care, because we will come out ahead in the end. That plastic stuff that we make, we will have to stop. . We are not here just for one game, we are going all the way....And we'll already have won.
The above is part of the script from the Movie, Heaven can Wait. the movie came out in 1978. That was years before the concept of Shared value initiative came out. The 1970's was supposed to me the era of the 'me' generation, yet we see the early concept of joint responsibility to every ones gain. This is the concept of Shared Value initiative. Where big business works with the community to protect the oceans, the environment. The concept is for business to work with the community to build the community for the long run and that in turn will cost the company for the now, but in the end the company will also gain.

Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. In the business world it is a very competitive world. Whether you are a doctor or you are a salesman or work in any other facet in the world of business if you want to make it, then you have to distinguish yourself. You have to offer a better service than anyone else. You have to constantly come up with ideas on how to stand out. This takes hard work. Whether it means getting more education. Whether it means doing research and development and figuring out how to come out with a better new improved product. It can mean offering better customer service. This means more hours and effort than any of your competition is willing to do. Thomas Edison had a saying that "Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." There is no substitute for hard work. In the business world, you need to remember that it is not about you. It is about your customer. All about your customer. So look through your customers eyes and see what they want and deliver in their wishes. Also do not be afraid to try different ideas. Success usually comes from failing many times. Do not get discouraged, success many times is just one more try away. If you are afraid to take chances , then you will always be average and never have that chance at success. Your reward will come from your customer. If your customer is extremely satisfied then they will reward you by becoming not only a loyal customer but a spokesperson for your business as they brag to all your future potential customers about your outstanding services.

It’s what you do when you get back up. We all have failures. When you have a failure, you have two choices. You could let it get you down and admit defeat. Or you can see the failure as just a step toward success and realize that when you get back up, you will be even stronger. It's a question of attitude. A person with a positive attitude, will see everything as another step toward his goal and success. It doesn't matter if you have a few bumpy steps in the road, you know they all lead to your chest of gold. A poor attitude makes a person depressed. When your depressed, it's hard to be creative. It's hard to come up with that great idea that will make you a winner. For a writer, to write his best seller book, for a scientist to discover that great discovery, they need to first believe that could do it. If they believe that they could do the impossible, then they could see things that do not presently exist. To discover the next wonder drug or computer program. It's all a question of perspective and positiveattitude. Peter Pan, an imaginary figure said it best, " if you believe, if you really believe, then you can fly." Visít..

The right attitude keeps you focused on your goal and prevents you from falling into a depression when things are not going well. Sometimes in business, things do not go according to plan and we end off operating at a loss. Operating at a loss can only happen so long, before you find that you owe many creditors. At some point it becomes difficult or impossible to operate your business unless you change your business plan and goals. This next part is the hardest. You must be perfectly honest with yourself. This is your business that you put in some much of your time and effort. Carefully analyze the potential of the business without your present debt. Can the business be profitable? Does it pay to try to save the business? If the answer is No! Then face reality. Does the business have enough to work out deals with creditors and pay them off? If not, then bankruptcy may be your answer. Bankruptcy is not the end of the world. It is the way to get out of an impossible financial situation. It can give you a chance to start again fresh. On the downside it can affect your credit for up to 10 years. If bankruptcy becomes your only option, face it with a positive attitude. There will be a brighter day once your financial headaches are alleviated. http://www.weebly.com/weebly/apps/readDraft.php?draftId=555903240185358271&userId=57188033 |
