Is Negativity Ruining your Business?
Is it possible your negativity can cause problems in your business? I’m not sure if it will for sure, but I can tell you it can cause problems in your personal life. When you’re negative it gets to a point where people don’t want to be around you at all. They’ll stop coming to your home, calling you on the phone, and depending on what you are to them, they may block you from on Facebook and other places. It’s not worth it!
Being negative can cause health problems and that’s not good. It’s not worth it to be sick all the time or cause yourself to need surgery to repair what you’ve done. Is it worth it? I think not.
When you’re a business owner and you’re negative all the time people won’t want to purchase from you. They want someone that’s positive and willing to do what it takes without complaining. They want someone who they know what complain about everything they say and they want someone who won’t have something bad to say whenever a comment is made.
The thing I hate the worst about someone that’s negative is when they carry on and on and on about things. You may see it on Facebook or Twitter and it seems like it happens every day and sometimes multiple times a day. When your customers or potential customers see those types of posts they’ll remember that when they run across a need for what you offer. If I see those types of posts I won’t use that persons business when I need something.
When you think about it, the negative thoughts you post can have a HUGE effect on your business and your personal life and to me that’s not worth it in any way. I’d rather keep those negative thoughts to myself or share them offline with a friend or family member. How do you feel about people that are negative all the time? Please share your thoughts in the comment section.

Kim Garst who I follow on Twitter once said she’s allergic to negative people. I’m 200% with her on that sentiment. I rather surround myself with positive people and feed off on their energies and good vibe.
Nothing good comes from being around negative people. People who constantly complain only attracts the same people or things to them.
If there’s someone on Twitter who is consistently negative, I unfollow and I wouldn’t do business with them. I think it does hurt them, their brand and business. It’s a good thing I don’t have a constant complainer on Twitter or FB.
