How To Succeed In Tough Times

I've been noticing and I'm sure you have to, that while many companies and individuals might be struggling, right now, I have found there is also a group of companies and individuals flourishing. I've also noticed, there are some common characteristics found, in these companies and individuals who seem, to be doing well, during some of these uncertain times.
Here are five characteristics that stand out:

1. These companies and individuals operate from a win/win philosophy.

I have learned these companies and individual also inherently value their business relationships (customers, employees and vendors). I have found when you understand and appreciate this principle it allows you to create and receive value both on a short and long-term basis, as well as recognize and be, in line, for new opportunities, that begin, to present themselves.

2. These companies and individuals have an entrepreneurial mindset.

Although, it's true that when a boom is going on the entrepreneur is often leading theway, I've also noticed that when the water is high (things are going good), everything tends to even out (everyone seems to be doing well). However, when it all starts to go south, I have found it is then that entrepreneurs can rise more quickly and distinguish themselves. Their ability to take risks, be decisive, recognize and seize opportunity and to basically "create", allows them to find a way to make things happen.

3. These companies and individuals have an excellent work ethic and focus.

In sports, if you were to ask, who, in their respective sport, has been a dominantfigure, three immediately come, to my mind - Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan andWayne Gretsky. Beyond their remarkable ability and talent, there is also something about these three that helped propel them into greatness - their fierce competitiveness and their incredible work ethic. How do you beat the most talented person in the world when they will also out work you and have a "will to win" that is, not, to be exceeded? I have learned, the same is true, in business. I have found the top performers do not get complacent. They do not rest on their laurels. And they don't decide that because they are doing well or are on top that that is good enough. Their work ethic and drive, to be their personal best, has allowed previous victories and momentum to carry over into more success, even in difficult times.

4. These companies and individuals have made a commitment to succeed.

I have learned that making a decision is the prerequisite to all successes. It has been said, all good things are upstream, but the natural tendency is downstream. Commitment creates the mindset that allows us to face challenges, shut out negative circumstances and discomfort and then move upstream, towards our goals.

5. These companies and individuals operate, out of faith.

Without faith it is impossible to take risk. Without faith it is impossible to make investments of time and effort, in the present, while hoping, for a future reward. And, without faith, it is impossible, to make short-term sacrifices, on a consistent basis. Faith allows you, to be free, to give and be your best, knowing that the reward will manifest itself sometime, in the future. Faith, also allows you to, find the opportunity that often comes disguised, in the form of a problem or challenge. While others are "missing it" or spending their time and energy complaining, the person or company of faith is identifying and seizing new opportunities.

So, I have a question. How do you rate yourself, in these five areas, above? I would estimate, much of where you find yourself, today, could be directly related, to how well you have fared, the past few years, in regards, to the five points above.

The good news is, today, is a new day, a new opportunity. Finally, I want you, to know, that I love hearing all the testimonials and success stories from our associates.

And, I want you to know, that now is your time, the time to work on yourself, your relationships, your business, etc., and then, to attract all the success outcomes you deserve.

While you are creating the new you, look at every challenge you might be facing as anopportunity to "create" new and better outcomes.

I have found life is full of opportunities. Go For It!

Yours in good health,
