"I don't know what's going on but they are not creating any jobs for me around here."
Any comments more than welcome, (that's why i posted). Hope y'all r doin better than i am.
ok, you asked.....
most of what i'm gonna say doesn't have to do with market development. it's way more
important than that.
i try to pay attention to what a person says, and when something stands
out, and hits me in the eye, bring it to their attention. sometimes it's appreciated,
sometimes it is not.
first and foremost, who are "they" and why do "they" have to do anything for you?
why did you decide to make "them" into a god for you?
if you are depending on anything other than yourself, you are set for a huge disappointment.
without getting all preachy or self righteous here, the second thing i'm gonna hit you
between the eyes with is this:
"it is done unto you, as you believe."
you don't have a problem with lack of customers, you have a problem with lack of gratitude.
the symptom of that lack is that everything dries up,
IN YOUR PERCEPTION, and you are
drowning in a lake of water. everyone gets "yours", and you are bitter, angry, and feel cheated.
one of the replies here posted something found on a painting forum. it was spot on. and all you
said was how it didn't apply to you, and picked it apart. i'm happy it was posted, 'cause it sure
applied to me.
if you have the balls to do something other than complain how "they" aren't getting you "yours",
i have two suggestions:
sit down with sheet of paper, or open up a text file on the computer, it doesn't really matter.
list EVERYTHING you can find in your life, personal or in business, that you can be grateful for.
i don't care what it is, write it down.
every.single.thing.
when that list is filled out a bit, call up a friend, and tell them, out loud, what you are grateful for.
when that is done, go out with a dry erase marker, in your favorite color, and write on the inside
of you windshield, how much you want to net in the two remaining weeks of April. it doesn't matter
how much. what matters is if you can honestly believe that you can earn that much.
write it in 2" high letters on the inside of the windsheld, so you have to look thru it, driving down
the road. then go on about your day, doing whatever you need to do.
in my experience, the money will show up.
or, you can post a rebuttal here, telling me i'm full of poop.
but what if it works? what do you have to lose?
