There's a statement in the business training that we put on that you want to get familiar with. We get everybody to buy into it, and understand what it really means. It's this: “Be the competitor you would hate to have as a competitor.” Be the best. Be unique.

For instance, in this current economic depression that we're in, with rollback and bankruptcy, I wonder why they would let an electronics company go down—and why they would work so hard to keep a bank and an insurance company afloat.

I know that's not funny for Circuit City, the comparison between electronics and banking. Really, there's no responsibility here at all, for anybody.

But when Circuit City goes down, they close all their stores. You know, that might be good for Best Buy. That might be good for the electronics department at Wal-Mart. That might be good for a number of outlets that sell electronic equipment. In fact, that would be good. Wouldn't it?

So you see, everything is interactive, and not everybody's hurting at the same rate and pace. For instance, Wal-Mart stock is doing well, thank you. Of course, the market in general is doing poorly. In other words, there is something that causes a company or an individual to be successful.

Find out what that is. If it requires changes and adaptations, then change and adapt—and you too will then find yourself being successful, while others are struggling, sizing back, and going out of business.

Seems like America and the individuals inside of America are really focused in on their problems right now. "Oh, woe is me!"

And they're wondering, in the helpless little state they're in, who's going to bail them out, who's going to give them economic stimulus, who's going to pay their mortgage, who's going to give them free medical care, who's going to, who's going to, who's going to, who's going to! And they seldom think of themselves as being part of a solution.

Whereas there are people who have a different outlook on life, a different worldview—and remember, it's all about think and its myriad ramifications. Nobody said that just because it was one little word that it was easy, especially in context.

It's all about how you think.

All it takes is a simple outlook change, a change in worldview, to where you know—by golly, you know with every fiber of your heart and soul—that you will encounter challenges, adversities, adventures, setbacks. You will. Don't worry—it's a guaranteed fact.

So you change your point of view, knowing you will. It's inevitable. But like snowy weather if you live in a winter environment, you're not going to let what's inevitable affect your attitude, affect the outcomes that you have decided you want for yourself in your life and affairs.

You're going to attack, with a totally different approach. You are going in as the responsible party. You are facing the challenges and adventures. And what the bails-outs, and the snail-outs, and the new bureaucrat crybabies and all the rest of the people do, it's news—and you may, in fact, find a way to benefit from that.

But you're not going to be caught in it in a way that makes you helpless. You're involved in it, alright, and it’s a trigger that calls on you to be resourceful! And you love it!

I was talking to the unstoppable Glenn W. Turner just the other day. We were talking about different things—I was interviewing him, asking him about a few things that he'd found interesting in his ride up.

Well, this is a hare-lipped country boy. I mean, the first time he went to New York he didn't even own a tie. He didn't even know, until he was 11 years old, that shoes were normal, because he didn't have shoes. This is a boy born in a charity ward to an unwed mother.

This is a boy who didn't have the best start; even as a young man, he was ridiculed. So when he announced his dream, when he put together a plan and when he borrowed money to do it—people laughed. All of a sudden he caught the dream—he caught the vision that he could sell and make money. He'd been on the farm, a very slow process. This was very fast.

He took off, and everybody roared with laughter!

A few years later, he's got hundreds and thousands of employees. I think over his career he had over 100 airplanes—part of the reason why is because in the 150 companies in nine different countries that he put together, he owned an airline. He had his own personal, private big jets, too – 4 of them.

And the people who laughed, who reeled with laughter at him, who ridiculed him when he was getting started—now were coming to him asking for jobs, asking to manage some kind of division and get a cushy little thing going.

Of course, this man got where he did because he was always on the move. His quick reply: “You couldn't manage it when it was nothing, how do you think you're going to manage it now that it's something?”

Here's another quick anecdote for us to learn by. One morning as I was waking up recently, lo and behold, here comes a hailstorm. Now, I have lived through hail the size of baseballs—the size of a hardball, not a softball. And I've seen hail go through windows. I've seen hail batter vehicles so badly it looks like they've been through a wreck and they've rolled several times.

So I didn't have any choice! I went running outside in my pajamas—didn't even have a hat on—and did the only thing I could do with my vehicle. I parked it under a tree. Now, it was a very early spring tree, so it didn't even have any leaves yet. I guess you'd call that a winter tree.

But I figured some protection is better than nothing. And I'm sliding through the yard, but I get up there. It's angled on a hill, but I get up. In other words, you're not going to find a person more positive than Ted Ciuba, I don't believe.

I just enjoy that outlook on life. I looked out there, and it wasn't about positive thinking, no. I was positive it was hailing and I was positive that it was not a wise deal for me to leave my vehicle out there and not take any steps to protect it, even though it didn't turn out to be that bad.

In other words, this is the PMA bashing that I want to point out. It's not about a positive mental attitude, as in "o-o-o-m-m-m-m." It's about being practical. It's about being resourceful. It's about doing the things in response to the situation that you need to do—and if need be, about not getting negatively, emotionally, involved. You just do what you need to because you're on target.

It's just like the rocket ship going to the moon. It knows when it's off course, and it just does a little correction—and that's all you do, too.

That's what positive mental attitude is!
