With all the noise bombarding you every day about the economy, being upbeat can be tough at times. It is important to surround yourself with positive influences. Rajesh Setty’s book, Upbeat, provides you simple ways to create an right attitude when the noise gets too much.
In his book, Upbeat, Rajesh shares with you how he and his team managed to have a positive attitude during a previous recession. Yes, you know the word. You hear it almost every day at least once on the radio, tv and even on the internet. It is okay to be aware of the world around you however, it doesn’t mean you have to become engrossed in it.
Here are a few things to share from reading Rajesh’s book, Upbeat:
Don’t let your ego control your decisions. You don’t have time for it
.
Focus on what you can change. By focusing on the recession you are choosing to focus on something you can’t control
.
Invent the solutions during tough times. You create sound processes and practices. These will be in place when better economics come back
.
You can control your mood. By changing your mood, you can change the outcome of a situation
.
If you are trying to come up with something quick and easy to “get by” for now, don’t. Take time to make good decisions
.
Be part of conversations with positive outlooks. When a conversation is heading the direction of “what to do in this down economy”, turn it around to, So what resource do you find that really works for you?
Remember to be a person others want to be around
.
Concentrate on how you can help others instead of how others can help you. It will be well rewarded because you have become a resource
.
Re-prioritize your projects. Drop projects that don’t hold meaning
.
Set up a plan of action. Now is the time, do not wait until “things get better”
.
Stay focused on the core value or problem that is relevant to your marketplace
.
Spend less time on things that add less value and spend more time on things that add more value
.
