“I go to Work and Keep a Positive Attitude”

In today’s tough business climate I get one question over and over.  “What are you doing to get through these bad times?”  Friends and customers, sales vendors and strangers.  Everyone is asking.  Some of the answers I’ve heard are surprising, some insightful, and some scary.    We are bombarded every day with bad news, new regulations and new demands on our time and wallet.  Wouldn’t it be nice to go back a couple of years to better times?  Well we can’t! 

I have found the only way for me is “I go to work and keep a positive attitude.” 

1. I try to find the good in all things.  (and all people)
2. I keep political discussions to a minimum.
3. I remind myself how blessed I am.
4. I keep my priorities straight.  God and Family First.
5. I get up and go to work… Everyday!

At my business, Fleet Oil and Truck Supply, I have found most customers would rather hear a joke or something positive.  Yes, everyone is “feeling the pain” but we are all trying to get through.
