Negativity is the easiest way to avoid solving problems. 

You know these types of people. Nothing is ever good enough. They look for ways to complain. Negative people kill companies. They kill relationships. They kill them selves slowly.

When someone around you complains, give them a tip for solving the problem. 

“Why does George always get the best leads? Why don’t I get the same leads as George? That’s unfair isn’t it?” 

“My suggestion would be to work twice as hard as George, reach out to current clients and ask if they know someone who could benefit from using our product or focus on your work and make sure you’re doing the best job you can!” 

It gives them multiple avenues, makes them realize complaining won’t change anything, and helps them think in a more positive, problem solving manner. 

Stay positive and inspire the people around you. Focus on solving the problem the next time someone complains. It can help you think differently and also help others reduce their number of complaints. 

“A problem is a chance for you to do your best.” – Duke Ellington
