The key to winning or losing in 2010


"No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined." – Harry E. Fosdick

Self-discipline and self-motivation are joined at the hip. Why is that? When you practice self-discipline you get a sense of having more control of your business. You company feels energized, hopeful and motivated because you're moving toward your goals.

The key to winning or losing in 2010 is ACTION. Hesitate and you are lost. Bold action from a smart startegy is key to any meaningful results. Half-hearted action gets you nowhere.

The greatest stumbling block to achieving anything of importance in your life is circumstances. We let circumstances get us off the hook when we should be giving our business everything we've got. More dreams are shattered and goals lost because of circumstances than any other single factor.

How often have you caught yourself saying, "I would like to do or have this but I can't because...?" Whatever follows "because" is the circumstance.

Successful people use circumstances to catapult them on toward their goal, while the masses use them as road blocks. A circumstance may cause a detour in your business but you should never permit it to stop you.

"People are always blaming circumstance for what they are. I do not believe in circumstance. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstance they want and if they can't find them they make them." – George Bernard Shaw

There is the key again: you purposefully and deliberately cause your success by choosing and doing successful actions consistently. You can choose to invest in marketing consultation to better target your ideal prospects. You can choose to refine your value proposition for the needs and interests of your customers in the present. You can choose to effectively communicate that value to them -- in the ways they like and respond to -- online marketing, social media and video marketing.

From where we stand, the future is bright -- bright for those that take up the torch of strategic action to grow their business profits. Promise Productions Strategic Marketing welcomes your call at 972-822-3587.
