It’s Your Business – Let It Grow


The fly that doesn’t want to be swatted is most secure when it lights on the fly-swatter.  ~G.C. Lichtenberg

How do you handle problems in your business? It’s a fair question because everyone and every firm deals with them all the time. Are you proactive and attack it head on or do you quietly but attentively watch and let it play out? Both are correct if in the end your dilemma passes you by and you surge ahead. Both are wrong if the trouble persists and eats away at your company.

Alice came to a fork in the road.  “Which road do I take?” she asked.
”Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat.
”I don’t know,” Alice answered.
”Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”
~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Only you can set the horizon for where you want to go, others follow in your prints no matter how fast, slow or in what direction. Set your mind to do what’s right and make decisions and take action to get and keep the ball rolling.

Verbs in business are the language of growth. Sell ing, work ing, teach ing, grow ing. They can also be your downfall. Ignor ing, stall ing, sleep ing.

One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full.  And he said, “Is it half full or half empty?”  So I drank the water.  No more problem.  ~Alexander Jodorowsky

Solve your problems, have faith in yourself. You have been trained, are smart and have the energy to do this. Don’t make things more complicated by over thinking. Just do it.
