Why Bother

My previous writings have been what I’ve experienced, specifically over the last few months. Most recently, the last few weeks. It’s required me defining and redefining my organization's mission statement and unique selling proposition. I’ve had to do all the things I don’t relish, planning. Planning, being prepared to move forward is quite demanding for my persona, yet I know for certain the rewards will be abundant.

Tony Robbins says, “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity” and I couldn’t agree more. I’ll add “If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.” The forming of procedures, systems, processes, legal entities, consulting with those who specialize in those areas are all things that require my mental faculties. Yet this time, as I’ve thought in the past, I don’t consider them a distraction. They are vital.

I’m being surrounded with counsel from experts. To ignore their advice would be foolish. During a conversation last night one of my experts said when can do it exactly how you want, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Basically, my path wasn’t the most effective. So that’s why I bother. That’s the reason for delay. That’s the reason I haven’t launched. It’s better the launch, prepared and properly setup than to do it the way I had conceived. Why bother having sage counsel if you’re going to ignore it?

Today, Friday, July 22, 2022, I am grateful that:

I was able to audit the Rainmaker course with D.C. It was great to see him doing his deal. As with us all, there’s area for improvement, yet I can clearly see how it’ll impact and improve the business endeavors of so many.

I was able to go to the farmers market yesterday. I’ve missed my visits to Carbon. I haven’t gone because I don’t enjoy the cleaning required after cooking. But today, I’ve got all the things needed to cook up some fresh veggies for lunch and maybe dinner for at least another three or four days.

Freight offered his counsel and his recommendations for my situation. He didn’t mince his words. His recommendation was clear and the so were his reasons for the tactic. I’m fortunate to have someone offering a strategy, a tactical means for its implementation, and the reasoning behind each.

Do you see the value in buying in?

Are you able to accept that you’re not the expert in all areas?

Are you able to gratefully acknowledge the counsel of others and implement their suggestions?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
