A Call to Action

15th March 2012

Some of you may be aware that I am on a bit of a crusade at the moment to try to lift the general gloom and despondency which people are only too willing to allow to influence them. At a business networking meeting this morning I was talking about this and a number of people there agreed that it is all too easy to find negatives and things that are not looking so good, but to constantly focus on the positive is a whole lot harder. However, they also agreed that things are not as bad as the press and general media portray, and immediately started to tell me about the good things happening to them and their businesses, and to the people they do business with.

As I have often said, doing things is a whole lot harder than not doing things. Talking about anything is easy, but actually putting it into action is a different matter altogether.

I have told quite a lot of people about the good news bulletin which I am videoing weekly, and in so doing have asked people to send me stories for me to include in it. Of course many have said “great idea, and “of course I’ll send you things”. However, when it comes down to it, I have only had 3 stories sent to me so far. The benefits of sending something about their company are good not just for the general community, but of course it allows them to get free publicity as well. So you might think I would be inundated – but no (so far).

So I would just like to put this thought out there. How many of you are contemplating doing something positive in your business or even talking about it, but then failing to take any action. You know it will benefit you and your business and yet you still do nothing. Isn’t it about time you started to do more and postulate less?!
