Positive Mindset in Roofing

This might feel like a ‘soft’ topic…

You might think this doesn’t effect your bottom line.

Personally, as a business owner I workout regularly, and meditate personally – which help me be mentally sharper / generally more optimistic – so I was curious and started looking for anything else people do to help them be more effective overall.

I understand your skepticism if you think positive mindset is BS – but check out the habits and skills Sal + others mention below!

 

Quick Notes from The Podcast on Positive Mindset for Roofing:

When something real + negative happens in your personal life- how do you avoid that bleeding in?

  • Exercise w/ best friend at 630 
  • Work is work – separate them. Work is not my life.

SUCCESS confuses some people about over-identifying with their business / identity. 

How can you help others on your team have a positive mindset?

  • Stop jumping in to fix problems all the time, and let them learn on their own.
  • Not giving people answers
  • Letting people fail is important

How do you make sure people can bring mistakes to you?

  • Therapy 
  • Allowing people to fail
  • Pain has to occur

What is the real cost of a Negative mindset?

A professional race car driver was talking about how to handle a crash situation.

“You have to focus on the road ahead of you, and not look at the crash.”

For some reason – when you fixate on the crash, you may gravitate towards it. 

Our businesses can be the same way – we need to focus on WHAT WE DO WANT, rather than fixating on the things outside of our control that are going wrong. 

Crash – Dont look at it, positive mindset

Is a Positive Mindset Important When Running a Roofing Company? Some People Think it’s Not!

Others believe a Positive Mindset is essential when running a Roofing Company – Here’s why:

We all want to be more *effective* – even if positivity isn’t always the vehicle

Here are 2 books people suggested – when it comes to being more effective. One about being more positive, and one about learning to endure the difficult aspects of life (stoicism.)

I’ve added my favorite book about positive mindset, and goal-setting after the other two suggestions. I believe AIMING (goal-setting), faith that you’ll achieve – helps motivate many people in their daily lives.

I’ll leave you with my honest belief on positive thinking – it OF COURSE has to be balanced with realism, and endurance through hardships. But without some positive thought underlying all future hopes and dreams – we’d all give up and die right now. Because we all have positive mindset at our core, in some way, shape or form.
