I’ve been thinking about posting this blog for awhile. I hate to discuss what to me is the obvious but to far too many a point they just don’t get.
Day in .
Day out.
I hear -things are scary.
Things are bad.
I don’t know what to do.
The TV, the radio, my bartender, my barber all tell me things stink and they sure don’t look like they will get any better .
The sky is falling !!
The sky is falling !!
Do you know what I mean ??
Are there quick fixes?? Nope !! Can Doug fix it all?? Nope !!
Are things crappy out there ? Yup if you believe it and frankly — many optimistic folks would tell you times are challenging.
How do we fix this??
First, keep your head in the game. Read, listen , watch for opportunities. Watch for adjustments to be made. Watch your thinking.
I have worn a wristband for over 4 years that has the initials W.A.I.T. . This stands for -“what am I thinking”. It helps me often-too often to turn my thinking back in a direction that will help me excel.
You may not have a wristband but you do have to watch any negative thinking and dwelling on it. You need to help me spread the word , spread the attitude.
This is a small part of my coaching but a part that often is the place to start.
I need help in spreading this attitude, this belief.
Can I count on you ???

Thanks for this blog….I live in Brisbane – Australia and I was just saying similar things to friends over the past week. There seems to be constant negativity in the media, whether it be TV, radio, newspapers. I would like to see more positive stories of the many and varied activites and challenges that people are experiencing and the results of these challenges.. I believe we are extraordinary in the abilities and strengths that we bring to our lives. Celebrate and engage in the successful outcomes whether it be large or small.. I am a consultant online lecturer and the moment I send my students who are feeling ‘fearful’ an encouraging message about the ‘difference’ they make to me, the group and their future clients and my delight in meeting them…the fear drops away and they start to become excited again. I encourage them to ….ACT AS IF………I am successful, an outstanding student, a unique and amazing partner wife/ husband as a way of using assets and strengths. The results are incredible.
