U.S. citizens cast their vote for the next President, Vice-President, and a host of congressional leaders this week. Attention focuses on this once-every-four-years activity with a virtual obsession.
Yet, there is a more important vote you as a business professional cast and more often than every four years. While government leaders are important, your leadership in business has a significant, daily impact on you and the people around you.
How do you vote for your business to increase sales with greater productivity so you can get out of the office earlier to do what you love with those you love?
Here are three significant ways to vote for your business daily:
Vote with Your Attentionr
You discover ways to make money daily, but have you made any time or energy lately?
These two components comprise your attention. The strategic use of your attention is paramount to achieving your business dreams.
Vote for your business by paying attention to these two most important Work Positive factors:
Positive Thoughtsr
Avoid the TV remote and cast your vote for positive reading or listening material in the morning. Visualize the day’s schedule with positive outcomes. You shape your mental attitude for the day as you do.
Positive Peopler
Who are those customers, team members, and suppliers that bring positive value to your business? Cast your vote for them, offering little time or attention to the negative squeaky wheels.
Vote with Your Intentionr
Somewhere along the way of choosing your current business profession, you aligned yourself with the mission, vision, and values of an organization. Whether your own business or another’s, these guiding principles steer decisions and drive outcomes. Whether written or oral, they are partisan magnets for your intentions.
Orient your intention to the company mission, vision, and values. Vote along those party lines with your intention and attention for maximum productivity. Otherwise, your intention is the road to nowhere.
Vote with Your Actionsr
Voting for your business is more than a mental, social, and emotional pursuit. It’s physical.
As you act, understand that change happens so quickly that completely finishing with perfection is elusive. Voting for your business is daily; more than every four years.
Vote for a GPS system—listen to feedback and persevere—so you recalculate as you achieve your dream of increasing sales with greater productivity so you can leave the office earlier.
Yes, your vote as a citizen every four years is important.
Your vote as a business professional is critical to your success in achieving your Work Positive lifestyle. Vote daily.

Diamonds and Dollars: It’s Not What Your Product or Service Is Worth. It’s What the Customer Thinks It’s Worth.
One summer while I was on vacation from college I became a tin man: selling aluminum siding and roofing door to door in the Boston area. The business has a bad reputation but our siding and our roofs were the finest available. Our prices were high but fair. In spite of what consumers always want to believe, you can’t get the best without paying for it.
