1. Attitude is a choice – Attitude tune-ups are important to maintain a healthy winning attitude. What are the things you can do on a daily basis to tune-up your attitude?

2. Focus on the word WIN – What's Important Now. What is important to you personally and professionally to help you win now?

3. There are benefits to being positive. When you have a positive attitude the body heals faster, and it produces endorphins, which help aid and facilitate the healing process.

4. One key to a positive attitude is to be proactive vs. reactive. To be proactive means you're accountable and you recognize the importance of forward planning and thinking.

5. Because 70% of our attitude is non-verbal, it is important to be aware of what your attitude is transmitting. Up to 80% of our self-talk is negative, and the loudest voice you hear is your own.

Action Steps:

• Non-Verbal - The #1 impact you can have on someone is a smile.
• Pick up the pace at least by 25% - you are either on the way or in the way

6. Enthusiasm is the spirit within you, never let the child in you die. Remember you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

7. Your most priceless possession is your attitude. If you want to have a positive day -- start with positive words.

"Enthusiasm is to attitude what breathing is to life. It's the fire in the belly. If you have no fire, maybe your wood is wet."
