If you were asked if you should be an optimist, or a pessimist, which would you choose?\n\nThe optimist, right? I mean, who likes being around a pessimistic person?\n\nI heard a story once, where in a prison camp, the optimists struggled!\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re going to be freed soon,\u201d they said! They\u2019d look forward to the date when they\u2019d be liberated\u2026.and then nothing happened!\n\nWhen their optimistic hopes were not met, they were crushed!\n\nThis week on the Tip Tuesday episode of the Selling the Dream podcast, here to share the attitude and mindset that you need to have to survive the turbulence of these unknown times!\n\nThanks for joining us on Selling the Dream - we wouldn\u2019t be where we are without you listening, and giving your feedback!
