As the main writer of this blog I wanted to share a number of ideas and stories that relate to business. If you are a small business owner like me you remain on alert for exciting ways to broadcast your message. You are not going to have a large marketing budget, cold calling is just not happening, now, automated emailing is creating as much resentment as robo calls. So, how do you grow the business? Simple, don't give up!
The drive and desire that got you this far may just carry your forward. You probably thought I might say that your drive and desire will get you to the finish line but yet, there never is one; is there? Think about it. If you reached a finish line how much fun would that be?
I have had friends who started businesses and closed down after 3 or 4 years. I told them they needed to stay in for 7 years maybe even longer. Achievement is HARD WORK! If success was easy everybody would be there!
So, you go about your day-to-day business and constantly look for that one big break or search for the one opening that will provide the advantage you need. No matter how hard you try it just doesn't seem to show up. Or, maybe it has and you just haven't seen it.
To keep my field of vision wide and alert I subscribe to several very different newsletters and sites that have some very cool and cutting edge points of view. Many have nothing to do with my company's actual service or products and that is the important message. Stretch the field of vision. Stay engaged and excited. When a down time hits just do something to break the rut.
On a relatively frequent basis I receive interesting material from friends and relatives that help me keep things in perspective. It is my long held contention that my success and happiness depends upon a very simple motto I follow. Do your best...life's not fair! I try to remain alert to my motto. It still needs to be polished off a bit every now and then. With that in mind, I wanted to share an experience that was given to me by one of my groups of friends and family. This video clip is a stunning example of how unfair life can be and why you should never give up. Click here: Are You Going to Finish Strong? - Video - Enjoy
