Quote

"Given the amount of time we spend working, failure
to find meaningful, significant work is not just a minor
misstep in living out God's plan; it is a deeper kind of
failure that can make each day feel like living death."
— Dan Miller: Inspirational speaker and author

What to Do During the Recession

Tonight my friend, Frank Foft, told me he had the "best March" in thirteen years. You see while everyone else is whining, Frank is out talking to clients. Just like he has been for the past 13 years. He isn't just trying to sell his product. Frank is talking to his clients about how he cab help them improve their processes.

During the good times, no one could take the time to listen to him. Now that production has slowed, some companies are taking the opportunity improve the value of their processes and to take the suggestions that Frank makes to save them money.

What are you doing with your time?

Be Happy, Attract More Customers

If you're saying, "How can I be happy? My business is slow and I don't have enough customers", expect it to stay that way for awhile. Negativity, pessimism, unhappiness, a feeling of lack attracts more of the same. You can't act cheap when buying services & products for yourself and expect to attract anything other than "cheap" customers who don't want to pay for what you sell. It's the Golden Rule in action. Be good to those around you. Happily pay good money for good money & services and the same will flow back to you.

Being happy is the cornerstone of all that you are! Nothing is more important than that you feel good! And you have absolute and utter control about that because you can choose the thought that makes you worry or the thought that makes you happy; the things that thrill you, or the things that worry you. You have the choice in every moment.
