"If there's only time to read one email a day, it's yours I read Boyd. Thanks."
Janet Davis, Booth, Ince and Knowles.

Boyd, I am not a lawyer myself but a marketing consultant working for the firm here in Lincoln. It's always good to get other views on how to do things as I would never claim to know everything! Not all the time anyway.

I haven't recommended you to anyone in the area simply because they are our competition and I don't want them to act on the good advice you offer.

That's a compliment, even though it doesn't help you very much.

I have implemented one or two of your ideas and adapted some others to suit. Also, the occasional idea that you throw at me takes me off on a tangent where I come up with things that are completely different, but take their start from your email.

Attitude For Lawyers

Positive Attitude for lawyers and solicitors is vital.

Attitude comes from the Greek word “Etheos” meaning the God Within.

We are born with curiosity and enthusiasm. When these qualities are combined with great expectations and persistence we can expect amazing results. 3 year old children ask repeatedly “Why?” to every answer they are given. They are curious, enthusiastic and persistent. And they usually get their way.

A great attitude is infectious. It can affect animals. Horses respond to the jockey’s attitude. Dogs respond to your attitude towards them. And you respond to other people’s attitude towards you. That’s why you’ll tip more in a restaurant where the attitude to service is a positive one and the waitress will earn double the money because of her positive attitude.

Imagine today were your last day on Earth. Do you have a positive enough attitude to make the most of today? You are on a “holiday on Earth” everyday of your existence.

We don’t know much about the mystery of life, where we came from or where we go. The only thing we know is now. And now is how you perceive it. It’s a mental game. And a mental game that you can win or lose. It’s up to you.

“You become what you think.”

If you have a positive attitude you’ll be positive. A negative one and you’ll be negative. You might reflect that most people start the day with a neutral attitude. If it’s a bright and sunny day they might feel a little more on the positive side. And if it’s raining and cold, and they’re late for work and the kids are screaming and there’s heavy traffic.........maybe the day is not going to be a productive one for them.

Do you recognize that your mental attitude, whether it is positive or negative, can be changed at will in one second of time? Your attitude is something over which you exercise control.

How much of your success is down to your attitude? Some of it, all of it?

And how many of you have been on a course or studied how to have a positive attitude?

Reading is fundamental to acquiring a positive attitude because it helps you become self-aware.

Here are four books that you can read that will help. I've mentioned these elsewhere on the site because it's that important.

“How to Win Friends and Influence People” Dale Carnegie

“The Strangest Secret” Earl Nightingale

“Think and Grow Rich” Napoleon Hill

“How To Stop Worrying and Start Living” Dale Carnegie.

You might want to read “The Places You’ll Go” by Dr Seuss, Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach, Le Petit Prince by Antoine St Exupery, The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono, Purple Cow by Seth Godin, From Good To Great by Jim Collins, Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith.

Here are some mental munchies about positive attitude.

If you want to be positive you have to be exposed to positive people and influences.
You were born to win, but you have to plan to win and prepare to win and expect to win – that’s a saying by famous sales trainer Zig Ziglar.
