Having a positive mental attitude is possibly the #1 determining factor to how high you climb in carpet cleaning. If you mind say NO then your body will follow.
Keeping upbeat and positive will draw people to you, and these people are crucial to your business growth.
- Develop a list of personal strengths and weaknesses and work on them
- Spend less time watching TV, and more time working on yourself
- Use positive, reinforcing language
- Develop your own personal mantra
- Be sure of your direction, both personally and professionally (One of the main reasons for a poor mental attitude is a feeling of lack of direction or ability to change that direction.)
- Take yourself to a happy place often
- Visualize when you were at your happiest and what it felt like. Work on repeating that.

- Read for an hour a day in any area you feel weakest
- Invest in courses and eBooks to further your knowledge
