You wake up in morning sleepy and fatigued; day has to start but you do not want it to. You stumble around; stub your toe on dresser and step on dog. What do you do, get mad and waste day with anger or get excited because you woke up this morning and day is going to be awesome.

Unfortunately, most of us fill our day with negativity from moment we get out of bed. Then we wonder why our day is not best it can be. Attitude affects every aspect of your life- even your on-line business- so why not have a great attitude. The good news is you control your attitude, not me not circumstances, and you do. Every time you get excited about your day, you made choice to be excited. When you walk through your day with negativity it was a choice you made.

Make right choice

Making choice to stay positive is an easy task but it takes commitment and will not happen over night. It is learning to find positive in every situation and retraining your sub conscious mind to think in positive instead of negative. Unfortunately, we are bread to think negatively from time we can walk but we can retrain ourselves to be positive motivator that takes charge and wins in life.

Read on to learn techniques I use to maintain a positive attitude.

Make a goal to change

Let’s face it. Running a successful business enterprise is not easiest thing to accomplish.

Your struggles could be result of factors beyond your own control or factors within your control --- your own actions and decisions.

FACTORS OUTSIDE YOUR OWN CURRENT CONTROL

If your business is stagnating or dying, there are several factors that could be cause of your current financial discomfort:

· Your local economy could be suffering stagnation or negative growth. · Your competition might be fiercely competing for your customer base. · The building, into which you have signed a lease, might be seen by local residents as home of businesses that fail, so they will not support you until you have proven your long term viability. · You could be in a terrible location and trapped by your lease.

FACTORS WITHIN YOUR OWN CONTROL

On other side of coin, there are several more factors that could be causing you pain that are well within your control:

· You are not spending enough time planning for future of your business. · You are not spending enough time or resources on developing and distributing good advertising. · You do not have enough staff available to fill incoming orders or to serve interested customers. · You are simply mismanaging your financial or human resources.

THE MOST ABUSED HUMAN RESOURCE IN MOST BUSINESSES

By watching activities of many small business owners, one has to ask themselves if business owners are masochistic?

Source: http://dictionary.reference.com MASOCHISTIC - adj : 2. The deriving of pleasure, or tendency to derive pleasure, from being humiliated or mistreated, either by another or by oneself. 3. A willingness or tendency to subject oneself to unpleasant or trying experiences.

How is it that I can even venture to suggest this definition fits behavior of many small business owners?

Simple. Small business owners often submit themselves and their families to demands of their business. Sometimes to detriment of those involved in their lives.

Of course, one could argue that small business owner is sacrificing his or herself for long-term benefit of their families and themselves.
