Summary
Last week John taught what your attitude cannot do for you. This week you're going to learn how your attitude, perspective, and posture as a leader can greatly improve your leadership, relationships, and help you overcome challenges in business and in life.
For the application portion of the episode, Mark Cole is joined again by Traci Morrow to remind us that we may not always be able to control what happens to us, but we can control what happens in us. You'll also hear relevant ways that they are applying this lesson in attitude to their own lives and businesses.
Our BONUS resource for this series is the "What Your Attitude Can Do for You Worksheet," which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/MyAttitude and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."
