Satisfaction is a mental attitude. Your
own mental attitude is the one thing you possess over which you alone
have complete control. ~Napoleon Hill & W. Clement Stone
Having many years of business management experience (including sales), I am amazed how many people I see every single day with a bad mental attitude. MOST people see work as a necessary evil. They are never satisfied no matter what they are doing.
We all have the power to change our circumstances by changing the way we think. We can look at challenges as pains in the rear-end, or we can see them as an opportunity to show what we can do. Without challenges, there would be no opportunities. Without problems to solve, we would not have the opportunity to grow. When we become a problem fixer, we become more valuable to any organization.
Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone said in their book, "Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude", that if you want to be a success, you have to sell a product or service that is a necessity-- preferably at a reasonable price.
Let's look at the job market as it stands right now. We are in competition with a global labor supply. There are manufacturers all over the world paying 18 cents per hour (seems to be the going rate thanks to the IMF and World Bank). Even copywriters have to compete with low-priced hacks from every corner of the globe.
Keep in mind that when you have a positive mental attitude, you know what you are worth. So, don't fight the low-ball price war. Sell VALUE! The better you are, the more in demand you'll be.
You can't control the global marketplace, but you can control the way you think and the way you operate in it. Put your best foot forward. Here is your chance to SHINE.
