Why Positive Thinking Is So Important

#168: Does it seem impossible with all the bad news we hear on a daily basis to remain upbeat and positive? Have you ever thought about how your thoughts impact running your business?

This is where today's guest comes in. I'd like you to meet Dr Tony Robinson. She is a prolific strategist and advisor with a proven track record in serving and training executives, business leaders, and entrepreneurs in hearing God's voice for prophetic strategies and solutions for their business.

Her story is one of extraordinary transformation, change, and God’s amazing grace. She is no stranger to what she calls, "dream disruptions" having to navigate her way through life’s many transitions and challenges including the sudden and devastating loss of her husband of 25 years. It was during the space of these disruptions where she learned to courageously partner with God and walk in His dreams for her life.

From start-ups to multimillion-dollar companies, Dr. Tony has mentored and advised faith-based leaders across the globe on how to activate God's assignment over both themselves and their organizations.  

 In this episode, we dive into how we can keep our thoughts positive, along-with how we can reactivate that ability to hear from God and why talking to God can not only help you maintain a positive outlook but gain solutions for your business.

This episode is jam-packed full of great ideas, so let's get to it!
