Happy New Year!
May I wish you, your family, friends and associates a very happy and prosperous 2009!
Prosperous? Of course.
Look, there’s no doubt that economic conditions will be challenging.
But that doesn’t mean that you can’t prosper…
My good friend Pete Godfrey puts it this way in a recent issue of his newsletter…
“Just understand there are so many opportunities to make money right now it’s overwhelming to think about them all. As entrepreneurs and business owners we can not buy into the doom and gloom. Sure, acknowledge it; we can’t pretend everything is rosy out there. The world HAS changed in a BIG way and there’s no going back. Just don’t buy into it emotionally and mentally. Our most important assets are out mindsets; how we think, how we act; the money making habits that are ingrained into our pores. That’s our strength.”
Putting this another way, I’m going to suggest adopting the approach of the person who, when asked how they were being affected by the Great Depression in the 1930s said…
“I’m choosing not to participate.”
On that note, have a successful 2009!
