"Success has two elements: positive expectation and hard work," says Karla Brandau, President of Karla Brandau & Associates and creator of International Expect Success Month. International Expect Success Month runs the entire month of February during which Brandau encourages success-oriented people to implement this creed: "Expect Success, then work as if there is no other option."
Brandau's book, Wake up the Winner Inside (available on Amazon or at www.KarlaBrandau.com) teaches strategies to implement her expect success philosophy. One of the strategies involves ridding yourself of negative thoughts such as "There is no way I'll get that project done on time," or "I know I won't make quota." Negative expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies.
"I've never seen a study," Brandau says, "but I'd like to see figures on the hours of precious time that is wasted each day because of negative attitudes and discouragement. I'll bet it is at least two hours - that is nearly 1/2 of your focused working time. Therefore, to use the power of positive expectation to create a winning lifestyle or an organizational culture of success, eliminate the pessimistic attitude."
Brandau says. "If people would use the expect success formula - Right Thoughts plus Right Actions - they can take their lives to new levels, both personally and professionally. International Expect Success Month is about collecting those Right Thoughts plus Right Actions stories and inspiring colleagues, coworkers, and friends that the principle can make bottom line differences in everyday work situations."
