Have You Created An Environment That Fosters Success?
Business owners can easily become overwhelmed with the day to day worries and uncertainties associated with running a business. Things like hiring and firing employees, scheduling, revenue, cash flow, equipment failures and customer complaints can easily turn an optimistic and cheerful day into a dreadful one. That's just the way of life for a business owner. But there are ways for you to maximize your chances for success by surrounding yourself in an optimistic, confident environment.
Success and Your Environment
If you want to create an environment that fosters success, you first need to create an attitude of success in your own mind. From there, create an environment filled with people who understand and support you.
Let's start with creating an attitude of success in your own mind. People who are successful in business have an inner drive, a positive attitude and look at challenges as opportunities. When you own a cleaning business it can be very easy to get discouraged, especially when you're constantly hearing, "I'm not interested", “send me the information”, or “I'm way too busy to talk to you now”, when trying to sell your services. But this is when you need that inner drive and positive attitude the most.
Positive Thinking
Upon hearing those types of oppositions, immediately your environment becomes negative because you feel disappointed and rejected, doubt sets in and you give up. With a positive attitude, you simply look at this as an opportunity, a minor objection, a bump in the road, instead of an all-out failure.
The positive thinking person overcomes the resistance statement and replies with;
“I'm not here to throw a sales pitch at you. I'm sure you have heard them all. What I am offering, if you give me just a few minutes of your time, is an opportunity to provide you all the benefits of having a professional home cleaning service at your disposal. I have helped many home owners create a healthy and safe environment for family, children, friends, and pets by offering regularly scheduled carpet vacuuming with HEPA filtered vacuums and microfiber dusting of all surfaces which reduces the amount of allergens in the home. We can customize your home maintenance services to fit your budget and will tailor our services around your busy schedule so you can slow down and enjoy life.”
You'll never convert every prospect, but you will feel better about yourself by not giving up at the first sign of defeat.
Positive People
Have you ever heard the phrase, "like attracts like"? This means that if we have a negative attitude, we'll attract negative situations and people into our lives.
Think about the people around you -- family members, friends, colleagues. Are they supportive of you? Do they encourage you? Have you ever started the day with a great attitude, and as soon as you meet up with a friend who's having a bad day, all of a sudden your day goes downhill too?
“I believe that working with good people matters because then the work environment is good. If there is a sense of respect and belief among the people you work with, that is when good work is done.” Ranbir Kapoor
What do you think would happen if you got rid of all the negativity in your life and started hanging around people who think what you're doing is wonderful and encourage you to fulfill your dream of having a successful cleaning business? How do you think your situation would change?
I'll guarantee; and this is from personal experience, that if you start by having the right environment in your head, and then slowly start creating the right environment in other areas of your life, you'll see a noticeable change in your momentum and in the success of your cleaning business.
