Bottle of Patience

Does anyone else need a bottle of patience?

As we talk to business leaders across the country, we are finding that patience is in short supply. In these times of chaos and uncertainty, the pressure is absolutely increasing and with that, patience is decreasing. Point blank, some are in a panic with no patience whatsoever.

I get it. But I also get, that is not the answer. Our business issues did not happen overnight and can not be fixed overnight. It just takes some time and takes some patience. We all need to do a business, professional, and personal TIME OUT! Let's take a time out to step back and take a deep breath. Just relax for a second. And then:
  • Focus on Attitude
  • Develop a plan
  • Measure and track (what you don't measure you can't manage)
  • Daily Focus
  • Do the Basics (work the phones)
  • Sell something to somebody (every single day or working on those efforts)....how about that for an idea?
  • Monitor cash flow

And Practice some Patience. Better days are clearly ahead. Hang on because they are coming!
