Talk to any successful entrepreneur, or any professional with a positive attitude, and you'll find one key trait in common: all of them have a unique mentality that allows them to handle challenges differently. Rather than seeing problems as burdensome forces of opposition, they see problems as opportunities--opportunities to learn, grow, improve, or adjust in a way that leaves them better off than before the problem existed. This simple mentality has many benefits. First, it reduces the burden of stress that usually accompanies any new problem--because the problem is viewed in a positive light, it's less intimidating.
