Attitude is Everything

One of the things I always hear about inspirational movies, books, and quotes is they are fine for a little while, but the inspiration and motivation doesn’t last.

It’s true.

They don’t last for long.

As Zig Ziglar said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”

(I love reading what Mr. Ziglar has to say. I’ve read his books many times over the years and I recommend See You At The Top. If you’d rather listen to him on CD or downloadable audio files, I recommend his See You at the Top 25th Anniversary Edition. He, too, believes that attitude is everything, and it was from reading one of his books that I adopted the attitude of gratitude, and practice it every day.)

I like to read inspirational stories and watch videos. When I’m really hard at work and time is short, that is often when I most need a motivation boost.

That’s why I like the books and movies available at Simple Truths.

Here’s a great three-minute reminder about the importance of attitude:

Since you’re reading this blog, you’re probably interested in affiliate marketing, too.

Simple Truths has an affiliate program that is managed by ShareASale.com, and it’s easy to join and promote.

Now, I’m going to make another cup of coffee, sit next to the air conditioner and watch the Attitude is Everything movie…

Act on your dream!

For the last few weeks, I admit that I’ve been feeling sorry for myself because I’ve had to face so many obstacles and make so many changes in my marketing business.

All of that comes to an end right now.

No more.

It’s time to face the obstacles, set new goals, evaluate new products, and start promoting again.

I got to thinking about that when I read the address that President Obama will give to students tomorrow. I wrote about it on my John Dilbeck and Friends blog: President Obama’s Speech to Students.

Even though I’m still confronting a lot of conflicting feelings and thoughts about affiliate marketing — and marketing in general — it’s time to look for the positive aspects and not concentrate so much on things I don’t like about it.

I’ve resolved not to do the things I don’t like, so now it’s time to resolve to do the things I do like and enjoy.

So, you can look forward to me talking much more about affiliate marketing programs and products I like and much, much less about the struggles to overcome obstacles.

I really do love affiliate marketing and look forward to getting back into it with a much more positive attitude.

Act on your dream!
