I recently attended a seminar and when I walked into the room I was filled with positive energy and excitement! My first thought was WOW this group had their morning Wheaties and their coffee!
As the networking wound down and the presentation began it was clear that the rooms energy was not simply an accident nor an overdose of caffeine, it was the type of people that filled the room; they were the ones that were determined to, "Have a GREAT day" and it was contagious.
Today when we turn on the news we are flooded with growing new problems about our suffering economy, unemployment rates rising, foreclosures hit the highest since last year and the list goes on. Of course this is what is going on and what we are surround by day in and day out but what if we decided that despite what is going on we were going to "Have a GREAT day" could we change the way we look at things? Could we positively effect someones else's day or turn the team we manage into a sales force that is excited to bring in new sales despite what the media and front pages of newspaper say every day?
I was talking to a professional the other day who said he feels that the ups and downs that we are facing is bringing business back to the basis and that is customer service something I spoke about a few days ago and it is 110% true! We are still human we still need to be inspired and encouraged and motivated no matter what state the economy is in and that is what separates the great from the average those that wake up every day and despite what the "world" is telling them determines that "Today is going to be a GREAT day" and so I leave you with this...is today going to be a GREAT day? Happy Friday!
