The news about the economy keeps getting worse and worse. Every time you here about another bank crashing, more foreclosures, stocks tumbling, it can weaken your motivation and cause you to stop being proactive in your career, your company and your personal life. Its a common fact that when things get bad, human nature tends to put people into a defense mode where they become more fearful and more unfocused. They tend to dwell more and more on the bad news. And the media sure does not help.
In my years of studying people you can see why successful people become successful. They rarely go into defense mode. They consistently keep looking for opportunities and trying to build momentum. The tougher times get, the more focused and determined they become.
I just got back from a networking meeting where people were talking gloom and doom and one successful entrepreneur had a positive response for every scenario people brought up. His mind was constantly clicking on how he can leverage bad situations to produce prosperity for him and his family. His demeanor was infectious!
