Is Your Business Strategy Like a Tornado Warning?

May4
business strategy like a tornado warning? at www.xtreme-assistant.com

We had tornado warnings here in the Midwest last night. It’s always interesting to see how different people react.

Some are cautious and hit the basement immediately.

Some are risky and go out into the yard, look up into the sky, and wait for it to come.

Some are oblivious and just go about their regular routine like nothing is happening.

And some are prepared and have a weather radio, a flashlight, and blanket and pillows ready to hit the basement when necessary.

I heard once that how you react in one area of your life is how you react in other areas. This makes me think these people also react in the same way with their business marketing.

So, which one are you? See if you recognize yourself below and determine if you need to make a change.

The last few years have been rough for me.

Last year I lost my older brother, lost a few friends, had back surgery, began to see my parents decline with dementia, obtained a new boss at work (much adjustment), began and ended a romantic relationship, and saw many celebrities that I grew up with pass away.

This year I had to place my mother in a nursing home due to Alzheimer’s disease, I’m watching my father lose his mind to dementia and am caring for him, I lost my full-time job, I moved, I lost a few more friends and a few more childhood celebrities.

Change is hard. Loss is hard. 💔

Do you go to bed at night with good intentions of starting your day off better tomorrow?

But then when the alarm goes off, you hit snooze again and again?

When you get up you’re in a rush and you’re grouchy because you’re late.

Then you yell at the kids and feel bad about that. You can’t find your car keys and that adds to your frustration.

Several blocks away from home you realize you left your mobile phone behind and have to turn around to get it, which makes you even later and more grouchy.

By the time you get to work, you’re late, exhausted, and have a bad attitude.

Increased Success With Short-Term Thinking

Everywhere you turn it seems that someone is touting the benefits of long-term thinking. If you’re too focused on long-term thinking, you lose sight of the increased success that you can find when you practice short-term planning.

What’s so sad is that too many people get advised to “think about the future” instead of living in the present. It’s important to have a healthy balance of long and short-term planning.

The long-term portion enables you to dream big and shoot for the stars. The short-term efforts allow you to see immediate progress and enjoy the steps you’re taking regularly.

Positive mental attitude at www.xtreme-assistant.com

I haven’t always been a positive person. I wasn’t raised in an abundantly positive home environment. It is something I’ve had to learn and work on.

I’ve had many lessons and teachers. I’ve learned to be happy even for the little things. I’ve learned to be thankful even in the midst of turmoil. It isn’t always easy. But I’ve decided it is better than the alternative — to be unhappy.
