# Never be negative, get a mastermind

If you have read my posting [No Immigration for Entrepreneurs](https://www.startupmelbourne.com/startup-melbourne/2010/02/no-immigration-for-entrepreneurs) you may have noticed that negative, disappointed vibe. Over at [Thought Leaders Central](http://thoughtleaderscentral.ning.com/?ref=startupmelbourne.com) [Sean Richardson](http://www.seanorichardson.com.au/?ref=startupmelbourne.com) pointed out, that complaining won't help much in the current situation. It could even be harmful, because who want's to help someone who is complaining and sounds like a negative person in general? Positive people like to to surround them self with other positive people. So I should have looked up the "Favorite Quotes" section on my own [Facebook profile](http://facebook.com/ungerik). One of the quotes says: "There are no statues erected to critics!"

In my rage I was working against my own knowledge. But nobody is perfect and that's where the second message of this posting comes to play:

It showed me how important it is to have a [mastermind](http://anthillonline.com/the-law-of-success-lesson-one-the-master-mind/?ref=startupmelbourne.com) or "peer group". From time to time you just need someone to call you on your BS!

So what's next? If I can get the right job, I'll commit myself to that new challenge. If not I will go back to Austria and spend some time with Family and Friends. Then Asia will be the most likely step - right into the middle of the buzz :-)
