Attitude Determines Success
Every great leader knows the value of a positive Attitude. In short ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING! Talent is not enough to ensure success in chiropractic. There are a lot of very talented doctors who graduate from the top of their class, and yet they never become successful in business. Why? You would think that they of all people would be ensured of success. There are one of two reasons why. ONE: Zero business and communication skills TWO: Wrong attitude! Your attitude and your potential go hand in hand. Attitude is an inward feeling expressed by behavior. That is why an attitude can be seen without a word being said.
Attitude determines your ability to deal with people. The Stanford Research Institute says the money you make in any endeavor is determined only by 12.5% by knowledge and 87.5% by your ability to deal with people. Let’s do some math now.
87.5% people knowledge (attitude) + 12.5% product knowledge = Success
Where do you think you should be devoting your time after you graduate from school? Better yet, where should you be investing time WHILE still in school? Get ahead of the pack. The key to having a good attitude is the willingness to change. You are either the master or the victim of your attitude. It is a matter of personal choice. Who we are today is the result of choices we made yesterday. Tomorrow will become what we choose today. To change means to choose change. If you want to have a great attitude then make the following choices.
Choice #1: Evaluate Your Present Attitude-What is your starting point?
Choice #2: Write A Statement Of Purpose-Write specifically what you desire to accomplish, verbalize it everyday and take action!
Choice #3: Have The Desire To Change-Do you really want it?
Choice #4: Live One Day At A Time-Take it day by day and make subtle changes. The thought process will become a habit.
Choice #5: Change Your Thought Patterns-Thoughts become things. You are what you are because of your dominating thoughts.
Choice#6: Choose To Have The Right Attitude-You are the only one who can determine what you will think and how you will act.
The greatest battle you wage against failure occurs on the inside, not the outside. Every successful doctor in practice makes the following words a part of their vocabulary. Do it and you will too.
I can…I will…Expect the best… I know…I will make the time…Positively…I am confident…I do beleive…(promote) You…All things are possible.
