From Victoria Colligan, Founder, Ladies Who Launch

In Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich,

he discusses the importance of “A mind closed tightly against all the

negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of

relatives, friends and acquaintances” as an indispensable habit of

persistence that all successful people cultivate. In light of our

changed economy and the potential for surrounding ourselves with “doom

and gloom”, I thought it an appropriate reminder that we must safeguard

ourselves against a damaging mindset. What’s more, our chances increase

when there is a collective of positive vibration attracting

opportunities. As individuals we can do our part by staying out of

toxic environments, which could be as simple as turning off the news or

not engaging in conversations filled with complaining and negative

language. On a deep level, if you value your contribution to the world,

your business and your ideas, others will value them too and your

success will emerge regardless of what’s happening around you. But

first, you must get control of your mind and either stay away from the

people and things that push your buttons OR resign to shift your energy

to the positive no matter how tempting the negative may be.
