**Let’s look at 5 ways negative thinking could damage one’s business**

1. **Innovation Fears**
In a competitive market place, For any business to flourish it requires innovation. Often people fear new ideas because they don’t see the world the same way others do. However any innovation comes with risk. 
In business when negative thinking strikes it tends to shy off from taking risks and leaving things as they were. And as a result of this imaginative employees will feel stifled and fail to develop, expand and progress.

2. **Submission to competition**
All businesses are not owned by one man hence, there is going to be a competition in every area of the business. When your business is not doing well and you see your competitors business thriving, you cannot just simply accept the fact to being the second best or being the worst, that is a negative attitude and this may ultimately result in your business to lose face against them. In other to compete with your business rivals, you must have a positive mindset and never think they are better than you are.

3. **Giving in to external forces**
Well often, there are external factors that impact upon the conduct of a business, such as local regulation, government legislation and changing codes of practice. One thing for a fact is that there is nothing you can do than be expectant of the stresses these external forces created. The more positive and progressive  volition is to consider how the business can address these factors in a way that lessen any negative development. Controlling externally assessed, conflicting forces appreciatively may keep your business further ahead of your competitors.

4. **Maintainance of poor performance**
When a business employs poor achievements it has an obviously  mischievous effect on how the organisation operates and is perceived by its  guests. This is all the more apparent when the poor players  enthrall   elderly positions. There's no reason for accepting  harmonious poor performance in a business other than negative thinking. Maintaining  workers who  constantly under perform will have the effect of lowering  prospects, reducing  norms and demoralising the high players. Although  allocating with the services of the poor players may not be an entirely affable task, the  volition is likely to have further far reaching consequences to the business.

5. **Chance Resistance**
Majority of business can change for various reasons, the reason could be out of negative thinking. The ability to change, nevertheless is a necessity part of a running, reactive, energetic, progressive administration. If any business refuses to change in order to adapt to an ever changing marketplace then they are “likely” going to remain stagnate and this may result to an inexorable march backwards.
