Lately doesn’t everyone seem to be sending out doom and gloom messages? The government, the media, our entire industry, it doesn’t matter who you are talking to, they are depressed, worried, stressed and down right negative. I look around and life definitely is not perfect right now for most people in our industry, but there are still people who are doing well and I mean really well. They have not let the predictions of a recession or a bad housing market make them even miss a beat. They are revising their plans, making adjustments, and moving forward with full steam and more importantly they are doing it with a positive attitude. I know, you are thinking positive attitude, yeah, yeah, yeah, but maybe there is a little shred of truth to that line of thinking.

If you are feeling like you are suffering from a turn in your mental outlook, here are a few books that might help you through this blip on the radar; “Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude” by Napolean Hill and W. Clement Stone; and “Get Out of Your Own Way” by Mark Goulston, M.D., and Philip Goldberg. These books might not solve all your personal or business problems, but hey, what could they hurt.
