Have you ever gotten up in the morning and said "This is going to be a great day." Well, I do this every day whether it's my day off or if I'm scheduled to work. By having a positive attitude towards the entire day, people notice you by your overall body language. If you feel sluggish, angry, frustrated or even lazy, I feel people will notice this karma just by feeling it through the air. Now I'm not saying that negative feelings are never apparent, but one must control their emotions once they enter the workplace. Work to the best of your professional ability. We have all had bad days and that's the key; "HAD". It's in the past and we can't change it but we can certainly can correct circumstances and provide a better future. You have to move on.
If others around you notice that you feel like you are on top of the world, then people may be interested on what you may have to offer. So remember, having a positive attitude before work leads to a better working atmosphere.
GOAL SETTING
Set positive goals for yourself each day before you leave for work and do what it takes to accomplish these goals. Some examples may be to increase your guest check by as little as 10%, helping your fellow employees set goals, or finding new strategies to increase the company's profits. Remember, more profits = more gratuities for you as a server. One of my favorite goals is to make sure that each and every one of my guests leave happy and satisfied and to return (with possibly new guests) with an expectation of a better than before dining experience.
