One day in 1990 while I was waiting tables at a local restaurant, I was excited to learn that my 'section' of tables was 5 four-seat booths. "I was going to make money tonight!" I said to my friend Mark Z, who had a section of 4 two-seat tables. " I can make money in any section!" he replied, and he did. "It was all about the right attitude" said Mark, and he was right. He made more money than me that night with less customers. Had the sections been reversed, I would have likely been upset, had a poor attitude and made less money. All because of attitude.
Positive thinking and a good mental attitude have been shown in studies to improve health, happiness, love, and people's outlook on life. Because of this, it can also help you financially. Focusing your mind on thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, success, and prosperity can yield favorable results when it comes to your wallet. A positive mind anticipates wealth, happiness, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds. Your mind is a powerful tool, how you choose to use it is up to you. Here are some ideas to help yourself make more money by being positive and having the right attitude today:
1-The job you have. Ever wonder why you are often looked over when it comes to raises, promotions, and better working situations? The fault could lie with your boss...BUT, what if your attitude was the problem. The more you are overlooked, the worse your attitude gets, the more you are overlooked. Stop getting overlooked where you are at and make more money. Start today by going into work with a positive mind. I know what you are thinking: why say: "Think positive!", to someone who feels down, worried, and bitter about their job. You have to remember though that you are not doing this for them, you are doing this for you! Your inner positive thoughts will come out in your conversations, your job performance, and you will have a 'spring' in your step. The differences will get noticed and you will get acknowledged and eventually rewarded with more money. It is OK to have a bad day now and then, but the more you practice at it, the better you will get. You are on your way!
2-The job you want. After your attitude at work and life start to improve, you may want more money than your current job can offer, who doesn't? But before you go into an interview, know that being positive can help you get the job that you want. Focus on having a high self-esteem. Tell yourself constantly that you are worthy of a better job. Consider yourself as being worthy of success. Be sure that you are going to get the job. Have a positive attitude towards yourself, and believe that you are better and more qualified than the other applicants. You must manifest a positive attitude and forget about any past experiences with job interviews that may have not turned out well. You were better then those jobs anyway. Before your interview, get up on time, have your clothes prepared, eat breakfast, be ready and be confident. During the interview be relaxed, display a positive attitude, and have no worries.Be sure that you are going to get the job. During the week preceding the interview visualize yourself making a good impression and getting the job. You WILL get the job. Is there any magic involved? No, it is all attitude. When the attitude is positive and we focus on pleasant feelings and constructive images and on what we really want to happen, good things will happen. Your positive thoughts will bring more energy and happiness. Your entire being will broadcast happiness and success. Even your health will benefit. Your posture will improve and your speech will ring louder. Your very body language show a positive mindset.
3-Networking. Finding a better paying job is easier when you have help. Networking with people on websites, at church, the library, or anywhere will lead you to contacts and aid you in getting in touch with the right people. Ever wonder how some people are always in 'the right place at the right time'? yet some never get a break? It's all attitude! Everyone affects the people they meet either in a positive or negative way. This happens instinctively with all of us on a subconscious level through body language, how people speak, how they talk, and how they interact. Some call it confidence. Always thinking positive will help you to seem more confident. People sense our attitude and are affected by our thoughts, and vice versa. Is it any wonder that we want to be around positive people and avoid negative ones? People are more disposed to help us if we are positive, and they dislike and avoid anyone who is negative. Positive thoughts, words and attitude bring up positive and happy moods and actions. When the mind is positive, it causes more happiness around us. Being positive will put you in 'the right place at the right time'
These are three simply ways in which being positive will help you make more money. Focus on good thoughts and on having a good attitude. You will see the benefits immediately. Even just a smile to start is said to release good hormones into your body that make you feel better. Go ahead and try it. Just smile. You are now on your way to a better financial lifestyle.
