I read a study recently that revealed optimistic sales professionals outperform their pessimistic counterparts by as much as 56%. It clearly pays to be optimistic. I believe we have a choice to be optimistic or pessimistic. Unfortunately all too often, many of us get caught up in the drama of life and fall prey to scare-tactic, negative headlines.

My question to you is what plan do you have to saturate your mind with good stuff so you can combat pessimism and negativity? What great books are you reading, what great videos are you watching, what great audio tracks are you listening to? Let us know what you do to stay positive!
