How's 2009 treating you so far?
If you're still reading the newspapers, it seems the beginning is 'iffy'...if this happens, then that will happen but the good news is 'if this doesn't happen then that over there won't happen!'. Does any of this sound like a rant coming on...it is.
Where ever you find yourself beginning this new year, sit down and figure out if it's really the direction you want to go. There's too many opinions by 'unreliable sources' who make it their business to tell you what they think you want to hear. In Vegas, they call it 'the Pit Boss'! He/she will smile and tell you just to hang in there, it will get better...while you're watching your mortgage payment, food budget and ticket home get sucked into a slot machine. Get real.
If your goal for your business is to make an extra $20,000 this year, how you're going to make that happen is your focus. There will be things outside your control, always has been and always will be. Even Einstein had to deal with political upheaval and Nelson Mandela spent 20 years attempting to talk sense to idiots...it happens. But it didn't stop them making plans and completing the tasks they set out to accomplish.
That's it for today and I leave you with this:
Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices. ~ Voltaire
