I believe that your attitude influences your behavior. For example, if you have the attitude that cold calling is painful then you will be less likely to pick up the phone and make the calls.

I Don't

I don't - atitude is 100% everything - attitude toward self, toward others, about life in general and specifically, toward personal growth, toward success and failure, one's attitude about curiosity and relationships, about the world and everything in it is 100% everything we accomplish including attitude toward one's beliefs.

I don't think attitude is everything but it ranks right up there with Oxygen.

Right, attitude is good but you can't make money just on attitude alone. WORK is what you need to do, along with a good attitude. Many sales book state it's all about attitude but they fail to say sales professions are ones in which you have to work your tail off more so than any other career! LOL You can't wish upon a star with a good attitude and "WHAM", there is suddenly a big pile of money. (Unless you are the owner's son or daughter of course!) It don't work that way. Just my opinion.

Attitude is what causes action. You act or don't act because of what you think.

How in your opinion is attitude a cause of action Mitch?

It's not an opinion - action happens in people because of thought - it may be an impulse such as "I'm starved, I'm getting food." I'm not talking about basic survival impulses - action happens because of attitudes - attitudes are combinations of thoughts and feelings, emotions.

We do what we think - that's just the way people are made.

What do you think causes people to act aside from impulses, SC?

I think every action is a reaction to an impulse. These reactions are influenced by attitude.
