I opened my eyes to a bright sunny morning, couldn't resist a brief look at twitter, Facebook and linked (sad I know but up early with the kids!). I noticed a lot of very obvious negative sentiment, either about the strikes or about the divisions politically, economically as well as the age old public versus private sector squabbles.

I'm not really interested in any of that; why? In my view, because there is enough negativity from all sides to drag even the most positive down!  I then read a very positive article by Sir Richard Bransontalking about "When inexperience is an advantage" . What a positive message with no thought for anything other than future growth.

With this idea in mind, it sprang to mind the things I must do better at, the things that really make a difference, at home, at work and the people that surround us.

So then you ask what am I going to do to make a difference today?  I thought of Mr Branson and everything I do today will be solely focussed on positive action only.

For me, helping our team to grow our business, hire people, launch a new division, win a new client, help a person who thinks their job is at threat, help a business who is short of some specific skills, and be nice to screaming children even at 1am (the hardest I admit).

Finally, above all, remain positive and have some realistic objectives for every day. I wonder what would happen if we could all achieve this today?
