Well, it’s been a minute guys, and I definitely missed you!!
Welcome to my very first podcast episode of the service without excuses series of 2024 where I do a deep dive into a little bit of pessimistic thought process.
Many years ago I was told by a yellow pages salesman (if your over 40) the you understand lol what the hell I am actually talking about. He asked me a quick question about how busy I was at the time, being, I just started the business, and spent a small fortune much more than I could afford on these yellow page print ads that it was extremely slow, and it was very frustrating.
Even though the last thing I wanted to hear was give it time as I was going broke, but the advice he gave me was mind blowing. He said I don’t care if you have no work on the books, never tell a client or customer that you’re slow as they don’t want to deal with people that are busy. No matter what always be seen as busy and needed and your book and convert many of your jobs. He spoke the ultimate truth, and from that day on, I was never available same day, even though I had nothing going on to give the client the impression that I was needed and wanted by other customers.
I even talk about, my life-changing experience when it came to medical issues and needing to see doctors that weren’t available for months at a time. When I think about if the doctor says I can see you tomorrow either it’s very bad, or they most likely are, and I don’t want them giving me medical advice. It’s always good to be a little bit of both optimistic, as well as pessimistic, but if it takes over your world, and all you see, is the dark and negative in things, it can, and will destroy everything around you. Not just your business life, but your personal life as well..
In this first podcast of 2024, I discuss some of the things I talk with my friends and followers on different social media sites as well as email questions I receive.
