When we place our emphasis on areas of failure, we end up creating defeated, discouraged employees, teammates and business partners who give up and drop out of the race. 

Today, we are bombarded with story after story of bad news, in all areas of life.  In business, we see sales slumping, expenses going up and businesses closing their doors.  All of the chatter is about what’s going wrong.  If not checked, this can be a cancer to our sales teams and employees.

To combat and eradicate this sickness, we must turn our eyes to focus on what are goals and objectives are.  This economy is challenging, yet there are many opportunities for us to grow.  Let’s look at what works, what we can concentrate on that is bringing in results.  We may need to reassess what we’ve done in the past and challenge the sacred cows that no longer serve us. 

Take your eyes off of the obstacle and put them back on the objective.  Great results will be achieved.
