Tune Out The Noise – Tune In To Success
In today’s world your brain can easily get gridlocked. How do you collect your thoughts, make wise decision and stay productive? Turn down the noise of life…
By now you’ve heard the uproar and outrage toward the “Gimme Generation.” You’ve heard dozens of times about the damages of participation awards, gold stars for everyone or being your child’s personal ATM.
Beyond all that, there is a bigger attitude problem that shapes how your child is being groomed and it isn’t because everyone got a participation trophy for Little League. The truth is, they picked up that entitlement attitude from YOU.
The way entitlement works, you simply believe someone else owes you something. So whenever you receive something, you see it as payment for any “services” you rendered. You don’t register it as an act of kindness, love or even truly appreciate it. When was the last time you thanked a family member for helping with the dishes? Thanked your spouse or parent for cooking dinner? Thanked your spouse or parent for working every day to provide for your family? Or do you just expect these things?
If you can’t show gratitude and appreciation to your spouse or your kids, do you think they are going to just pick that skill up on their own? Parenting isn’t a “give-birth-and-hope-for-the-best” kind of job.
To groom a new “anti-entitlement” generation, use these 4 tips:
As a parent you want to give your child every opportunity and tool to succeed in life. ( share that quote right now!) Unrealistic expectations of the job market, finances and relationships are not helping them!
Instead, work on your mindset and start changing your household now! Together we can start a new generation in the wake of the gimme-gimme-gimme one we see in our society today.

While the IDEA of being surrounded by “Yes Men” may SOUND great – even downright appealing – that pack of fawning “supporters” could actually hold you back from experiencing a MASSIVE breakthrough!
