Yes, it is tough to be self employed and in business. You have to do more than ever. OK… then do it without the whining please.

If you have to work longer… do it. At least you have work to do.

If you need to improve your job skills… do it. Staying on top of your profession is a good business decision. Nobody wants you practicing on them. Get so good that everybody wants you working with them!

If you lack good communication skills… who can learn them for you? There are just some things that you have to do for yourself. So… do it. Learn about listening, asking good questions, and understanding what people intend to say. There are plenty of books and classes and mentors available. Ask around. Find out what someone you admire has done to get really good at communication… and then learn, practice and do what is required to raise your skill level.

Give up your woe is me story. Really, why inflict your sad pity party on other people?  Come up with something to be grateful for and then share that. Uplift people, don’t inflict them.

Decide to do something productive today. Make your efforts at work mean something. Do it for you. Take pride in giving your best. And then do it again tomorrow… and the next day… and the next week, month and year.

We need people to stop slacking and start making a positive contribution every day.

If we all do this… we won’t be in a recession.  We will see this economy turn around without government help… without handouts… without finger pointing… without making anybody wrong.

And it starts with you!

What can you do today that will make a positive difference at work, at home, and for someone else?

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of all the negativity. It’s time to say something nice about other people, instead of attacking them. What solutions do you have to offer? Now, that would actually make a difference.

It’s time to respect each other and be accountable for what we do on a daily basis.

It’s time for a little more honest effort and a lot less whining!
