How to portray a positive, confident image by thinking of solutions instead of who to blame.
|
 | When you complain, it automatically makes people cautious. If you complain about how things are so bad in your life and how you a victim, you sound like a victim. You will be a victim. You sound like you are full of excuses. You sound like you cannot be trusted, that you will find something to blame your impending failure upon. It will be difficult for others to feel confident about you.
If you complain about others, you sound like a gossip. At best, you are perceived as a paranoid. At worst, you will be seen as a saboteur.
Stop complaining and start doing. Think of solutions more than blame. Be a doer, a problem solver and you will attract others around you who are the same way. Focus on success and you will get it.
People want to know that you solve problems! They will gain confidence in you if you see problems and overcome them.
Stop wasting you energy on blaming and complaining. If you find yourself complaining, stop for a moment and turn your focus to solutions.

| 2 | Take Responsibility |
| It feels great to take responsibility! Instead of blaming others, say "I AM RESPONSIBLE". Once you say this, solutions start flowing into your mind. It is like saying "How" instead of "Can't".

| It is very easy to find who is really to blame. Look for who is blaming others. It is usually them.

| 4 | Also Don't Give Excuses |
| Excuses are another form of blame. Blame on everyone and everything except YOU!
As a manager I have no time or interest in excuses. I have interest in solutions. Be a person that takes action and is part of the solution. Blame is useless.
