Mauro Libi: Positive thinking and business


By Mauro Libi. "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right. ". This is a quote by Henry Ford. These inspirational words of pure positive thinking are what helped to change a boy born to a farmer and with great effort he became one of the wealthiest men in history.

A positive person should follow Henry Ford’s advice. He had many failures before he made money. He tried several times to start up his own company. He went from failure to going bankrupt. His attitude was that failure is just an opportunity to learn a good lesson.

His life story is a true story in how s farm boy with positive thinking could become one if the richest meet in history. His other idea was very revolutionary for his era.  No one believed that it could work. But the positive mind and positive attitude made it to be the great company and success story.  Henry Ford had some a business initiative in mind that many today would call a share value initiative. Actually several share value initiatives in mind. Before Henry Ford started his company, only the very rich could afford a car.  Mr Ford wanted to make a car  that the middle class working man could afford. He introduced the Model T, the first inexpensive car for the masses.(Mauro Libi)

Till that era , workers worked long hours and seven days a week. Mr Ford introduced the five day work week and he paid his employees a higher salary than anyone else did. He believed that if his employees felt more positive about themselves snd they liked working for him. If he could create that all around positive attitude in his work staff that he would have less employee turnover, that he found attract more talent and have a more motivated and harder working employee.

In average years, Henry Ford gave away about a third of his income, and he preferred to give money to individual people, face to face and with a firm handshake. He did this because it made him feel good. Even with giving away almost a third of his money he became one of the richest men in history. His positive attitude made him successful in both his business and in his personal life.(Mauro Libi)
