So, what the heck do I mean I’m having fun, you ask?
Is it because I like to sweat bullets as I watch the gallon meter go really really slow as the dollar meter goes really really fast at the gas pump?
No, I hate that part.
Is it because I like to watch all the housing inventory go up up up, and the number of new housing starts go down down down?
Nah, that sucks for everyone too.
But I am really happy, and I’ll tell you why:
Because any given one of us, including you, really only has a very small circle of influence to worry about.
No matter how large your business or how small your list of prospects this month, all you really have to worry about is #1: Your own business.
So, the really great news is this:
For me and you, my friend, and any single given one of us, there is a clear enemy to fight. And that enemy is not The United States’ Economy.
The whole entire economy is waaay too big of a world to concern ourselves with.
Sure, we all want to do our part to make our economy strong and powerful. But worrying about it is the most damaging thing we can do with what we got from the man upstairs.
And that’s why I’m having so much fun, my friend. Because I’m happy for YOU.
“The only economy you have to improve is the micro-economy of your own business.”
And that is great news.
Because just by focusing on effective marketing and sales strategy, you can jump-start your business and take the bull by the horns now, today, for good.
And, yes, my friend, you can do it now. During a time when conditions are not ideal.
In fact, that’s the very best time to do it, because most business owners are focusing on tightening their belts and weathering the storm.
So YOU can set yourself apart and focus on going out, killing it, and dragging it home.
Become a master in that one area of business, and you’ll never worry about fuel prices again.
Go out, kill it, and drag it home.
THAT is what marketing and sales strategy means to me.
“We should call it Go-Out, Kill-It and Drag-It-Home strategy.”
On Storms
The lady in my life just learned an important lesson the other day.
You see, she’s become quite the little runner lately. She used to hate to run outside. If it was cold or raining, she took it like a cat held over a bucket of water. Claws out.
But then one day she went for a long run and got caught in a huge thunderstorm. Rain coming down like Niagara Falls, huge lightning bolts striking the big oak trees, and thunderclaps to rattle your fillings.
When this storm hit her, she could have reacted two completely different ways:
1. She could have panicked and dashed under the nearest bridge or storefront awning.
…Or…
2. She could do what she ended up doing.
She put her chin up, grinned, and splashed through the puddles!
When she got home, she was completely invigorated.
Later she told me she made up her mind during that storm that if she got struck down by lightning on that run, she would have been happy to go out that way. With a huge smile on her face, soaked to the bone. Having the time of her life, alone, blood pumping through her veins.
Now THAT is how we should all look at life. When you run into a storm, put your chin up, smile your most devious grin, and tear it up!
Don’t be the guy in the truck.
One interesting thing happened during my lady’s thunderstorm.
When she was running through the ankle-deep storm runoff, a panicked guy in a truck came by and yelled “I hope you’re not too far from home!”
Don’t get me wrong, this guy was just trying to be a good Samaritan.
But what he failed to realize is this girl was feeling more alive than ever, running on her own two feet, letting the cards fall where they may.
And that is my metaphor for life this week. Run on your own two feet through the storm, and let the chips fall where they may.
Go out, kill it, and drag it home.
There is plenty of business out there for the guy who takes that course.
Sincerely,
Seth Holdren
