A couple of years ago I got caught up in a famous motivational guy's No Negativity Allowed Here wave and even took pictures of all my team members holding up his red sticker and posted them all over our Facebook page. It was fun but there was always something missing and it was my awesome Coach Renee Stuart that helped me figure what it was. She asked me why I was focusing all my attention on what was NOT allowed and not giving my team the idea to fill the void of what wouldn't be allowed. As I took a step back and looked at the whole picture I saw clearly that contentiously stating was wasn't allowed kept out focus on just that, the Negative that we kept repeating over and over wasn't allowed! I quickly updated my campaign to my new and improved; "Only Positivity Allowed Here" motto and created an exercise to help take advantage of the Power of Positivity, the 30 Day Positivity Challenge. As a team we focused on improving our attitude by helping each other stay Positive at all times, even things like seemingly harmless jokes would be recognized and eliminated from our daily banter if they were negative in nature. For 30 days we committed to each other to do our very best to be support of each other and encourage each to be his/her own very best every day. It was eye opening to say the least to realize just how much negative creeps into our daily lives when left unchecked and soon we were Rocking sales and breaking records. I wrote a post about our performance HERE, and now that I have settled in a bit here at my new home with a new team I think its time to do it again! Beginning on December 1st, my team and I are going to commit to each other to to our very best to always be as Positive to each other as possible, to point out (in a friendly way of course) when one of us is being negative even with a joke or sarcastic comment and encourage each other to push harder and really get out of our own comfort zones every day! This time around I want to add to the challenge.... I want to open it up to EVERYONE that would like to join us! Who would like to commit to 30 Days of Positivity with Mike theCarGuy and the Raceway Ford Team? Join us with 'I'm In' and each day check my Twitter, Facebook or Google+ feed for the Positive Thought of the day and please feel free to share your own Positivity with us as well. Together we can make magic, I truly believe that! Spread the word, Join the #30DayPositivityChallenge :)
