The Best Business Improvement Program Ever? Create a Whiteboard of Success for Under $200.

Last night a good friend of mine lost his job.  He asked me what he should do next.  Of course I said "Read my book."  I knew he already had a copy, so buying the book wasn't a problem.  Buying the book isn't the best business improvement program for $200, but it might be the best one for $15 even if the cover is goofy.  (A free signed copy to anyone with a better cover idea that I use.)

Losing a job can be an amazing experience and opportunity if you look at it the right way.  He did.  He hadn't read the book, but he did skip ahead to the next book which I haven't even written yet.  He just knew what to do because we have worked together for a long time and he knows how I think.  I think everyone should act like they are their own business.

What I am going to give you today is the best trick I have learned in helping people improve both their personal life and business life.  If you hire me to work with you on this it is going to be thousands of dollars, and I am giving it to you free.  Why?  Let's be honest, if it works for you and your business grows, I hope you'll hire me as your virtual Chief Marketing Officer or The Bourquin Group as your online marketing agency and SEO

Can You Succeed Without Failure?

Failure.  Just looking at the word can make some people stop reading.  Fear of failure is what stops most people from succeeding.  Failure means you pushed beyond some limit.  The problem is if you don’t fail, you never learn the limits.

I can tell you about failure first hand.  I pushed the limits of USAF pilot training and lost an F-16 job.  I learned quick enough that I was able to get back in the limits and still fly for 15 more years. 

In business if you don’t fail once in a while, you aren’t pushing your business to be it’s absolute best. 

I can spend a lot more time on this but Honda has been kind enough to post a great video on failure I think is worth watching.  Here is the link http://dreams.honda.com/#/video_fa
