One of the most outstanding teachers of the 21st�century,�Zig Ziglar, who has written on salesmanship, motivation, and, of course, personal development, once was quoted as saying:
�You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.�
If you follow or are connected to me on Linked In � and this is your invitation to do so � you know that I have been harping on setting goals for the past two weeks. I will continue doing so because it is the first step to building a big book of business. You need to know where you want to go in life.� �
But you also need the right attitude to make sure you get there.�
There have been numerous studies about having a positive attitude and success. Google �studies on positive thinking being effective,� and more than 1.5 billion results are returned.�
It�s no secret that almost every professional and personal development guru out there repeatedly dwells upon positivity as part of your means to be successful. It is not just �woo-woo� spirituality but scientific fact.�
And even if it were just hokum, what does it hurt to be more positive if it works?�
As lawyers, we are really not the most optimistic bunch. There are a whole host of reasons, and without writing too much about it, since much brighter people than I have done so, like�Dr. Larry Richard�and�Dr. Martin E.P. Seligman, you can change your attitude.�
And when you have to have the right attitude, you can become a great Rainmaker:
�
Expect to win! Because, as Zig Ziglar has said, you were born to win!
Please forward this to an attorney you know.�
