- Darn near every media outlet
OK, it's REALITY CHECK Friday with the Morning Motivator. How BAD is the economy really? Every news station and other media outlet will have you believe that it's the worst thing since World War II. The only station not promoting this message of FEAR is E!, which is too hung up on Jessica Simpson gaining 15 lbs to care.
Seriously, do you BELIEVE that the economy is so POOR that no one is making money? Do you believe that the world is SLOWLY grinding to a halt? Is it POSSIBLE that everyone will be broke, homeless and hungry? Doubtful.
The fact of the matter is that for the people that are WORKING hard to make more and better connections, will find themselves on top in the next 24 months. The companies that are cutting back on RELATIONSHIP people, marketing budgets and promotions will find that they are FAR behind the companies that suck it up and INVEST in their future success. It is the VISIONARY leader that understands that the OPPORTUNITY to catapult past the competition by planting the seeds of future relationships. The money and time INVESTED today will be the efforts that pull this "horrible" economy out of the gutter. So what do you do?
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
First, the next time you hear some start to say "blah blah blah, the economy is so blah blah blah," tell them you have decided NOT TO PARTICIPATE in the recession.
Secondly, spend your time WISELY meeting, greeting, educating and sharing your story with others that may not YET need your services. Remember, everyone else is HIDING in the corner, crying and waiting for the economy to turn. You are ONE of very few that is out beating the bushes to help others better their business!
Lastly, don't measure your success in "YES's"… rather measure in "NO's." The more people that tell you NO, or better yet, "not right now," the GREATER your long term success will be. REMEMBER, you are the farmer and cultivator of business relationships. Just as a good farmer knows – you must plant your seeds, tend to the land, monitor its changes and when the time is right, go back to the field and REAP the fruits of your labor.
Make the INVESTMENT in people, relationships, marketing and education… you will find that YOUR economy will flourish. Once we all take personal RESPONSIBILITY, we find that we actually CONTROL our own destiny! Have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Zach
