Choose Your Own EconomyWritten by Rick Beneteau
Continued from page 1
Here's a valid concern. What if you feel your sales will suffer if world falls into this media-made gulch? The solution is simple - get creative! Case in point. During my drycleaning days I not only survived but ended up thriving through two recessions (in Canada, these were really depressions) by simply putting a promotional spin on economic climate that benefited my company, employees and most importantly, my customers. What did I do? I promoted fact that is was a lot cheaper to clean their existing clothes than to replace them during these highly inflationary times. I recall using slogan "refresh, don't replace". And it worked! What was sad though is that throughout these tough times many of my competitors went out of business simply because they did not get creative. It is almost unthinkable to me that media today has power to create ruined economy it is predicting. And if it does, then I, you, and everyone else with a cyber-business might just have to create inventive ways to compensate for negative atmosphere that has only just started to infect general public. My advice to you is simple. Turn off news, forget about stock market and focus on *just* what you can control - your life and your business. If ratings-hungry reporters continue to fill 'slow news days' with doomsaying rants, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain. No downward sloping graph or forecasters cry of pending disaster should keep you from keeping your eyes on screen and hand on your mouse building Internet business you've always dreamed about! Don't let them have that power! Bottom line: you can either be part of Economic Downturn or you can Choose Your Own Economy!

2. Once you have that notebook, state your life's creed or statement of life. Write this out boldly! Make this a commitment to yourself. Write at top, "I'm 100% committed to achieving my goals and dreams." Something powerful happens when you write things down. Don't just think it, ink it. You will want to review this often. A year from now, you'll be blown away at how significant it is that you've written that down. 3. Why do you want financial freedom? Here's your first task: write down everything financial freedom would mean to you. Keep writing for as long as you can, up to 30 minutes. Yes, I said 30 minutes! Most people will spend hours planning a vacation, but they can't give 30 minutes to writing down their reasons for financial success. Will you commit to your success and do this task, or are you keeping yourself busy building someone else's dreams. This is a goal setting exercise, built on power of your dreams. I do this once a quarter. Each time I do it, I am impressed upon and inspired to do more with my life. It will be same for you, so go for it! Write down ALL your dreams and goals. Here are some thoughts to get you going: What would your family be like? What would your relationships be like? What kind of house would you live in? What kind of car would you drive? What specific vacations would you take? How could you give back? Would you set up a charity? What kind? To live debt free how much would it require per year? How much fun would you put into your day? What time would you get up in morning? Go to bed at night? Would you travel? Where? In what style? What kind of clothes would you own? What kind of jewelry would you wear? What would you do for your community? Being financially solid and debt free, what would you do with rest of your life? If you have not done this before, it can be most tedious, but keep writing until you until you get to bottom of this. Working out your dreams is a very profitable investment. As with anything else, more you work at it, better you'll become at it. You'll be doing this again, and we'll take you back to your notebook to see how you've progressed since you wrote all this down. I think you'll be very inspired.Yes! this is a time consuming process, but an investment so great a price cannot be placed upon it. Remember turtle? he is last to get out of starter box in a race, but he plows steadily along and finishes at finish line. Sometimes, going slow is getting ahead...those that wait, mount up with wings as eagles! Now that you know your own dreams, you're ready to hear about our strategy for helping you achieve them?
