This experience is an example of the power of a Dominant Thought. When we have a goal that we really desire, we devote a lot of thought and energy into making it happen, and it often does.
Business survival through evolution
Whatever business you are in, plan on radical change happening soon. Your business will look much different after just a few years, possibly just a few months!
Contingency Planning
The planning process should also consider Murphy's Law, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."
Planning how to overcome obstacles is essential
At least as much thought and energy should be devoted to identifying and planning to overcome obstacles as to identifying and defining the goal.
What DON’T you want for your business?
Entrepreneurs have the privilege of designing their own business, including defining its values and its rules of engagement. As an entrepreneur, this includes defining what is NOT acceptable to you.
Got goals?
When we clearly define and ardently desire goals, the subconscious mind goes to work to achieve them.
The value of making connections
Some our most valuable "assets" are our relationships with others. We should be "collectors" of people, know how they help others, and organize that information so that we can find it when needed.
How to REALLY know your audience
In order to sell effectively, you have to understand the problems, fears, desires, objections and conversations of your customers.
Words that Sell
The communication must from the writer's head and heart to the ideal reader's/viewer's head and heart to establish an emotional, "That's for me!" connection.
Speak to win
Imagine giving a presentation to a live audience in rapt attention to what you have to say, laughing at your jokes, giving you a standing ovation and congratulating you afterwards.
