Many believe that success depends on always thinking positively, blocking out negative thoughts and replacing them with certainty that you’ll get what you really want.
The problem is that marketing requires trying things that might not work, and when you focus all your energy on always winning, you may avoid taking risks and get stuck repeating what everyone else is already doing.

Interesting take on positive thinking. More often you hear that you should always think positive and while that's helpful I don't think that's a logical way to approach business. Thanks for sharing your insights with us.

True, True.

Thinking positive is healthy but in the world of business, it is sometimes not. Sometimes, it will be healthy that we think negatively for times that are situational so we can measure the damage if things go wrong.
