Stop Whining! It is what it is!

Remember 5 or 10 years ago when your business was only half of what is was in 2008? Or your investments, or your house value or your salary? Well it is time to stop looking back and start looking forward. Looking back will get you depressed and all upset about what you had. Guess what? You don’t have what you had anymore. It’s time to start building again from where you are. Building is fun. Whining is over rated and depressing. Calculate the gross and net revenue you really can expect for 2009 and 2010 and then figure out how to make a profit with what you’ve got. If it means you will have to cut back your expenses 60%, then do it now. If it means you will have to go back to working hard, making sales calls, getting out of your comfy office, or getting your hands dirty, do it. I know you thought you could retire in a few years or reduce your involvement in the business. But you can’t. Besides, you don’t want to be one of those old folks who do nothing positive with their time except complain about the price of healthcare. My current message is to START BUILDING & START MAKING A PROFIT with what you’ve got. That means you now have a chance to redesign your future. Exciting! Now you can design your business to be the best in your market. It is back to basics!

Hello from Germany!
It seems, as if people and rules are simmular - no matter what side of the ocean we live. Reading this blog makes me happy, finding new solutions and options for my future.
In Europe I'm overaged (52), but I was able to find a new job in between 14 days! Why? Sometimes its hard to find a brilliant student with 30 years work experience - to find a new boss with the same sights is easier.
Fire and hire - not the best way - after reading this blog and other comments of Mr. George Hedley, it clears the view into the future. Hope my english was good enough for everone to understand.
Thank you Mr. Hedley - for your brilliance - hopefully many managers are open for your views.
Regards, Ulrich Bornholdt
