Business Success Coaching

My car broke down.
It is busted.
It does not run.
It has a problem.
Something is wrong with it.

Will any of the above statements do anything to fix my car?
Of course not, it is silly to think they will.
All these statements will do is keep me focused on the fact that my car
is broke.

What should I be doing, when my car is broke down?
I need to be focused on:

Getting it fixed

Getting the money to pay for getting it fixed.

Getting it fixed as soon as possible

That is it – that is what I have to do.

Now you’re asking me, “Manny, of course that is what we would do, that
is just plain and simple common sense”.

Is it?

Then why do I read the newspaper with this headline:

USA Today 7/1/2009
Small businesses vital to economic recovery go bankrupt

The main theme of the article: How in the past small business and
entrepreneurs have lead the recover but not this time. They are going
bankrupt, fewer people are starting them and existing firms are struggling.

So what.

Hasn’t it always been that way?
Haven’t small businesses always had these problems?
Fact is many small businesses have these problems even when the economy
is doing well.

Fact is – none of this will stop the small businesses from leading the recovery.

Why?

Because just like in the story above about the broken car, instead of focus
on the problem, small business is focused on the solution. Small business
owners are looking for the answers. Small business owners are innovative
and have always thought outside the box (even before it was popular).

How about you?

Are you focused on the problem?
Or are you focused on the solution.

The amazing thing is that I have many clients who are doing excellent
during this economic time.  Growing and expanding. Creating profit.
Having a great time.

Why?

Because they are and have been focused on the opportunity this economy
is creating not the problems it is generating.

They are fixing their businesses, not sitting around talking about it.
They are finding the money, not complaining because they do not have any.
They are moving quickly, because this great opportunity will only last so long.

Remember the car story and start taking the action you need to make
it happen, TODAY.

Are you ready to get your team, organization or association rolling forward.
Are you ready to help them pump up and generate the right attitude in them?
