Great list. I had a few more to add:

* You get creative and think outside of the box to create profitable win-win situations. (just saved FPD $225 doing this this am)

* You INVEST in yourself and apply what you have learned to become more valuable

* You remember that �This too shall pass� when something good happens so you don�t rest on your laurels.

* You take the time to do the small things (that don�t cost anything)

* You turn off the TV – negativity rots your brain!

Thanks for sharing Eric

Nice stuff!! Currently #10 is striking a chord with me as I have really begun to take much better care of my physical well being and as a result am noticing a much stronger result in my mental well-being. It’s funny how that works, huh?

Additionally, I like the idea of simplifying. I have spent way too much time recently making nearly everything too complicated am enjoying allowing things to be much much simpler.

Thanks for sharing! Also, I would to piggy back on Roger’s words and say “HELL YEAH!!”

I don�t have the time or the space to list all of the above that inspired me, mostly I just have 2 words:

Hell yeah.

Actually I meant

HELL YEAH!

It really is the only way to deal with adversity- up your game immediately and ongoing. You win big and it�s really fun. Thanks for this post Eric.

I found so much value in this post that I sent it to my clients. I copied and pasted into a word doc and put a note with it. I had a great response and it actually gave me a reason to touch base with some former clients. Keep it coming�great stuff!!

WOW, I would have to say that most of those hard words were intentional and for me, well accepted. I will shine my shoes more, I will give more thanks for clients who invest, I will practice my scripts more and I will be more detailed.

Thanks for that Eric

You take better than usual care of yourself and encourage others to do the same-physical well-being determines mental well-being and response to stress.

You treat small successes as if they were Superbowl victories-and celebrate and commend accordingly.

Great stuff

I�d have to say celebrating the little vicories, giving more of yourself, avoiding the nay sayers and sky is falling crowd and hang out with kids and people who are filled with hope and optimism.

Personally, I am already down with working a harder and smarter – I�m glad to see Tom Peters agrees with me!
