“Your Kid has a bad attitude.”
I can’t tell you how many times I had to say that to parents when I was a school teacher or football coach.
So many kids came to school with zero confidence, poor work ethic, and living a fearful life.
Fear of trying new things.
Fear of ambition.
Fear of taking positive risks.
The sad thing is whenever I met the parents, I saw the exact same fears. You see that’s where these kids acquired these bad attitudes. From mom and dad.
A total lack of confidence is rampant in our society. Adults are beaten into submission by a society that says go to work, put in 40 years, retire to enjoy 1/10th of your life, grow old and die.
Our economy is filled with people who don’t believe they can achieve anything but a straight line to the grave, hopefully avoiding as little pain as possible.
Poor work ethic and a “barely getting by attitude” is everywhere. Fear of losing what we have holds so many parents back from achieving more!
And kids who see this kind of attitude every day inherit it; It infects them and traps them for life.
What kind of attitude are your kids seeing every day?
Are they seeing confidence or a lack of confidence?
Are they seeing someone living the status quo, or someone working hard to achieve more?
Are they seeing fear or courage?
We used to ooze all of those things!
No confidence, doing just enough work to survive, afraid of our employers firing us and taking everything we had with it.
Then we made a change.
We decided there was MORE to life than a steady paycheck and a hope for a blissful retirement.
So we decided to make a change and started our online business.
We made a lot of money, but more importantly, we found our confidence again and hope for a better tomorrow.
We found our passion again, and work hard every day doing what we love.
We stopped living in a fearful, scarcity mindset and started living our lives in pursuit of abundance!
And here is the best part: Our children SEE this new attitude.
They SEE this new confidence. They SEE our work ethic. They SEE how we attack every day with courage, no matter what comes at us.
How do I know?
Because of THEIR attitude.
Just yesterday, our 7-year-old little girl Anna Jo said these three sentences out loud
When we were packing our bags to carry them into a hotel, Anna Jo said to us:
“This is going to be hard, but I believe in myself and I can get the job done!”
We recently bought a brand new Lincoln Navigator, one of the nicest vehicles on the market.
While driving it around in the city, Anna Jo looked around the car and said:
“Only people that work really hard get to drive a car like ours, I want to work hard so I can have a car like this someday.”
And while preparing to carry our bags into a hotel, she looked at her suitcase, her backpack, her pillow and her two baby dolls and said:
“Guys, I have a plan to carry all this stuff by myself, I don’t know if it’s going to work, but I’m going to try it anyway so I know for sure!”
Confidence.
Hard work.
Courage to try.
Those are winning attitudes, and she learned them because she saw them first in her mom and dad.
It wasn’t always this way, we had to CHANGE our attitudes to get to where we are, to make sure our kids see what they see now.
What attitudes do your kids see from every single day?
Do they see a tired, defeated, status quo spirit?
Or do they see energy, victory, and a role model who is changing their family’s future?
Do they see confidence or hesitation?
Do they see an inspiring work ethic, or just enough to get by?
Do they see fear of risks and new things, or courage to take a chance?
We want you to live a life of confidence and courage in every area of your life, so you can inspire you kids to achieve great things!
