5 proven tips to maintain a Positive Attitude in business by QNET sellers

Tip #5: “Focus on the Positive.”

Whenever you face a negative or disappointing situation, ask yourself, “Is the glass half empty or half full?” (…and try to answer yourself that it is half full).

It’s normal to get dragged down by negative thoughts, but your energy and motivation are bound to drain if you keep focusing on the negative. Instead, please focus on the positive aspects of your work and the opportunities it gives you.

Here are some tips that will help you focus on positivity

• Positively focusing on both your work and personal life create a healthy work-life balance which is important to maintain a positive attitude in business.
• Celebrate your success, big or small, and use it to fuel your enthusiasm for what’s next.
• Learn a positive lesson from every challenging or negative situation.
• Use clear and positive language towards others and especially towards yourself.
• Be grateful to everyone and everything.
• Write down 5 positive aspects of each situation.

As Raghu Maurya, a Diamond Star QNET seller, puts it: “Focus on yourself and your next milestone. Your actions and success will inspire your team to follow your lead.”

To focus on positivity, you sometimes need positive and supportive people around you.

Tip #4: “Surround Yourself with Supportive People.”

Surrounding yourself with supportive people can make all the difference in your outlook. Always be picky about whom you spend the most time with because that is who you eventually become.

Surround yourself with people who inspire you, challenge you and offer constructive criticism with good intent. Your colleagues, partners and friends also need your support, so be thoughtful and offer to help.

Avoid those who bring you down!

It can be challenging, but it’s worth it.

As Gireesh Pushparajan, a Sapphire Star QNET seller, shares:
“I started to have more empathy towards others. I learnt to quell my ego and be supportive and appreciative of other people and their achievements.”

QNET’s strength lies in its supportive community, built by leaders like Gireesh.

Tip #3: “Ability to Face Rejections.”

In the business world, rejection is inevitable, and the ability to face rejection is essential, whether from potential customers or partners. Those who bounce back from rejection quickly and learn from their mistakes are more likely to succeed in the long run.

Remember, rejection is not a personal failure but an opportunity to learn and grow!

If you go through any successful entrepreneur’s life story, you will find that almost all of them have faced rejections multiple times.

What makes them different is their unwavering dedication, positive attitude, and ability to face rejections to tackle such tough times gracefully.

Saranya and Arun, Sapphire Star QNET sellers, share their perspective:

“From the very first day at QNET, we faced rejections. Even now, despite being so successful, we face rejections. But we don’t care about them. Once we attended V-Convention Dubai, we were able to see for ourselves the power of QNET. There were 20,000 dreamers from all over the world who didn’t care about the challenges but chose to overcome them and keep going. That’s when we decided that whatever rejections we face, we will keep moving forward.”

Tip #2: “Maintain a Growth Mindset, be Ethical and have Self-Integrity.”

A growth mindset is a belief that your abilities and talents can be developed through dedication and hard work. Embracing a growth mindset will help you maintain a positive attitude in facing challenges and setbacks. See every failure as an opportunity to learn and improve.

A few characteristics of a growth-oriented mindset are:

• You believe in hard work and its reward.
• You’re prepared to learn from your mistakes and find value in criticism.
• You believe that your abilities and skills have room to grow.
• You encourage others to do better and appreciate them unconditionally.
• You ask a lot of questions to get out of your inferiority complex.
• You admit when you don’t know something or when you are wrong.
• You seek out challenging tasks and take on risks.

As Yashu Tyagi, Associate V Partner, puts it:

“Understand that being a direct seller requires a drastic shift in your mindset and lifestyle.”

Moreover, a growth mindset is only formed when you are true to your work and use no shortcuts to achieve your goals.

Tip #1: “Set Realistic Goals”

Setting a goal gives you a strong sense of purpose and fuels your enthusiasm.

Most of the time, we don’t achieve what we initially set out to achieve, but our primary goal should always be moving forward.

We need to set a “realistic goal” to increase our chances of achieving our goals. It will help you maintain a positive business attitude as you will be confident and prepared to achieve this goal.

How to go about it?

Well, there are various techniques.

• Break down larger goals into smaller steps and track your progress.
• Celebrate each milestone.
• Use setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow.

You can also set your goals using the “SMART Goal” technique.

“SMART Goal” is a checklist that helps you underline whether your desired goal is:

1. Specific?
2. Measurable?
3. Achievable?
4. Relevant?
5. Time-Bound?

Whenever you set your goal, check whether all the elements of “SMART Goal” apply to it. If it does not, you need to re-think your goal and make it “SMART”.

As Adima Aleksandrovna, a V Elite Leader at QNET, says:
“You must set clear goals for yourself, and you must instil self-discipline.”

A positive attitude can significantly impact your success. Successful business personalities like Elon Musk and Indra Nooyi have proved it. A lot of QNET sellers, too, prove it every day.
