Example Of Application of Positive Thinking In Business and Its EffectsPublished by Nitin Shah [nitin_shah] on 2008/11/1 (419 reads)Some years back economic condition was not so good. During this time I went to a function with my father. There we met a couple of his friends in real state business. My father enquired about how their business was. I very well remember the answers of two people because of there contrasting views. One of them complained that the market condition was bad and people did not have money to buy the houses, and that very few enquiries were made and most of them were by people who were not really interested. Then we met another person who, on being asked about the business, replied that the market was weak and so not much sales but it is actually good for business . On being asked why he said that "even though there are no sales, I am meeting a lot of prospective clients." He further said that "because the economy is weak, people have more time and are ready to look at houses during this period. The market is bound to improve sooner or later and these people would buy property then. If it was not for the market these people might not have had time to even look at these properties."
Then when the economy improved, the second person made a fortune by selling properties whereas the first person only did ok in his business. Why is it that the second person did so well and the first person did not? During the recession the first person had a negative attitude, he only thought short term and his attitude was visible in his actions. So when a prospective client came to him he thought that since the economy was so bad sales were not possible only and hence he did not make that extra effort to help his clients decide, and he was very hostile in his behavior towards them etc. On the other hand the second person was positive. When he met his prospective customers he was very friendly and did what he could to help them decide. So when the economy improved and his clients had the money to buy they went back to him as they had already made their buying decision. What can business owners, managers and others learn from the above, that when the going gets tough one should not only accept the situation as it is but also look for positives in it that can be used to make the situation favorable.
