It’s official: “The power of positive thinking has been backed up by science” researchers from University College London have found after working with 7000 adults. OK, they were referring to people as they age, but from the business owners I meet this research still has meaning.
We sometimes refer to it as being above the point of power – taking ownership, being accountable, and taking responsibility. The converse is blame, excuses, denial. When a business owner is under severe pressure, it is easy to dismiss “positive thinking” as fringe thinking with little relevance, but this study is more evidence of how a positive mindset can make a massive difference.
So go on, how many of you are using Brexit as an excuse?
