Can Changing Your Attitude Change Your Results?

I’m going to use myself in this example and say “yes, that I changed my attitude and it Definitely Affected My Results”

A few months ago I took on a second job (Home Party Plan will Always be my first LOVE) to help our family income due to my spouse being out of work for several months!

I admit, my attitude was not the best it could have been!  Besides feeling like an internet failure…I will admit I know my business and know how to inspire others…but the internet side of things and Learning has made it a bit SLOW!

So to go back into the furniture and sales bit…well it didn’t excite me too much!  But hey, I love talking to people, and really love making their purchase a more fun experience.

It wasn’t until about mid November though that I sat back and took serious stock of “Why” I was back in the sales industry!  Sure my ‘ego’ took a few hits….but then I made up my mind that my main purpose in any job or business that I decide to venture into is for  “The Service of others”!   WOW!

It’s something that I’ve been telling you, my clients and customers…and friends for quite a few months…yet…I needed to step up to the plate!

I needed a “Goal”….something that would inspire “me” as well as inspire “YOU” to reach out….strive for something GREAT!

So in my J.O.B. a unique contest came up…a mattress contest….sell the most mattress’s and the company will send you and your spouse on an ‘all inclusive’ trip for two…to Antigua Bay…valued at more than $8,000.  So I set my mind up to do just that.

Every day before I left for work…I changed my crappy attitude….instead of focusing on sales sales sales….I focused on just helping 3-4 customers to finding the perfect ‘mattress’ for them!

Before I knew it my sales were soaring!  And I went from being number 14 in the contest to being Number 2…and last week I was in the number 1 spot …at least for a few days!!!  I pulled up my socks and had an amazing weekend of sales of over 8 beds…not bad for the beginning of January!

As I’m writing this now, I am currently in the number 2 spot….the contest ends in a few short days…and the totals will be VERY close to me finding out if I did indeed win ( I certainly hope so), but even if I don’t win….I will still be using this example of “Winning in the Long Run”.

I made the decision to “Change my attitude”….to change it to “Who can I serve today”….and even if I don’t win this contest…I DOUBLED the income I made in September!!!  

Think about this question again  “Can Changing your Attitude Change your Results?”

I know it changed mine…..how about YOU???
