Is Your Business Strategy Like a Tornado Warning?

business strategy like a tornado warning? at www.xtreme-assistant.com

We had tornado warnings here in the Midwest last night. It’s always interesting to see how different people react.

Some are cautious and hit the basement immediately.

Some are risky and go out into the yard, look up into the sky, and wait for it to come.

Some are oblivious and just go about their regular routine like nothing is happening.

And some are prepared and have a weather radio, a flashlight, and blanket and pillows ready to hit the basement when necessary.

Change is hard. Loss is hard. 💔

How To Use Motivation Quotes To Attract Lasting Change

gandhi-quote

We become what we think.  This quote has been proven over and over again.

If we perceive something bad is going to happen to us, many times it does. 

On the contrary, if we believe something good is going to happen, this often becomes true as well. 

Science has affirmed the link between positive affect and its impact on an individual’s motivation and performance.

If we expect the best or we expect the worst, we’re usually not disappointed.  Each time we perceive a positive thought, it increases our own perceptions of positive expectancy.

For motivation to last, it requires constant thinking with daily positive reinforcement.
