It’s times like these that I
think of situations I’ve been in where some crisis
is brewing and one person in the mix stays calm and
focused. That person keeps her “eye on the ball” and
does what needs to be done – as it needs to be done.
As business owners,
entrepreneurs, and sales professionals, if you want
to be successful during these difficult times, you
must be someone who stays focused on solutions and
not get drawn into the quagmire of problems.
Recessions will come and
go. Most people don’t know this, but statistically
we have one every six years or so. This recession is
a more serious one. I get that. I also believe that
the people who look for opportunities when times are
tough will not only survive--they will thrive. I’ve
been in business long enough to have seen it over
and over again.
Now, more than ever, a powerful
personal network can carry you through difficult
times. Business will go on. In times like this,
people want to do business with people they trust
more than ever. The relationships you have with the
people in your network can make the difference in
your business.
When times are difficult, BNI
can be a positive place for people to meet, build
relationships, create business opportunities, and
stay focused on solutions, not problems!
You cannot change the
economy. The economy is going to be what the economy
is going to be. You cannot change your
competition. Your competition is going to do what
your competition is going to do. But you can change
your response to the economy. You can change your
response to your competition.
The solution to difficult
economic times begins with a commitment to focus on
opportunities. Stay focused. Continue to build your
relationships. Be there for others and work your BNI
network like you’ve never worked it before.
I refuse to participate in the
recession!
Join me--be a
“thriver” not just a “survivor” in this recession
