It is hard work to monitor and change thinking habits and yet the payoffs are great. As stated earlier, those that are positive sell more, significantly more than those that are not positive and constructive. The payoff of obtaining great results is motivating enough to take on the arduous task of monitoring your thoughts. The other benefits include having more fun working, higher self confidence, ability to negotiate more creatively, and gaining favor at work. Employers favor employees that are optimistic even when they think they are not performing well or just made a mistake.
