- [Formula] Your business needs this
They say your only guaranteed death and taxes.
That’s pretty true, but I’ll add one more…
You’re going to face hard times.
Don’t let that get you down.
Because managed correctly, those hard times create immense opportunities…and in a moment, I’m going to give you my personal formula for exploiting those opportunities for growth.
You see, lots of today's most successful businesses started and experienced massive growth during recessions and economic downturns.
Microsoft, Air BNB, General Motors and Uber are just a few examples.
And you know what their success stories remind me of?
Tough times don’t last…but tough people do.
Think about it, when hard times come, you can either:
Freak out and waste valuable time getting emotional about the problem.
Or
Trust in your abilities to solve the problem because you know that you belong at the top.
Every successful entrepreneur has faced this crisis and chose to trust in themselves.
I’m confident you also have what it takes - and if you look inside, I bet you’ll come to the same conclusion.
So here’s the formula I use to grow my business when times get tough:
Trust yourself
Trust your network
Make decisive decisions
Make data-driven adjustments based on the results of your actions.
Follow those four steps and you’ll have all you need to thrive in the tough times you're presented with.
These people drive me crazy
Have you ever met someone that always finds the negative in a scenario?
Their first response is always why it can't be done.
“Too hard…”
“Unrealistic…”
“What will other people think…”
They’ve got so many objections and zero solutions.
It’s not their fault though…
School, parents, jobs - most of the time, we’re conditioned from birth to be skeptical, pessimistic and “realistic.”
Screw that, though.
I’d have never experienced the success and joy that I have in life if I subscribed to that mindset.
And if you want to live the life you’ve always dreamt of - with a business that serves you while you focus on the things in life that matter most to you…
Then I’d encourage you to examine your mindset too.
Do you focus on the positives or the negatives?
Are you a problem-oriented or solution-oriented person?
Do you let other people's opinions of you affect your decisions?
Take a minute to consider it, because the answer to those questions will directly impact the measure of success you’re capable of in life.
Rooting for ya!
