Running A Company and Weight Loss.

Here’s a fun saying, ““Running a successful business is a lot like losing weight; the principles are simple, but the practice is difficult.” I heard this and laughed because it is so true. Everyone thinks they can run a business but the practice itself is difficult.

I want to talk about walking the walk today because there is more to owning a business then just clicking the start key and being rich! No one cares how many emails you have, how many other people are calling you when you are on the phone with them, how many projects, cold calls, or pitches you have on your schedule – they only care about their results. If you are not striving for results, you’re dead in the water. And, it may take months, if not a year, to start seeing results. No turn-key success here.

You also have to practice being pleasant in some not so nice situations. You will have to be kind to clients who are less than horrible. You will have to bend rules to make deals happen. You will have to strive for success when everyone else is betting on your failure.

My point for tonight’s blog is to not give up. Like a weight loss goal, the longer you try and the harder you apply yourself- you will get there. You might not lose 100 pounds over three months and you certainly will not make a million dollars in a day, but as long as you are practicing what you preach- you will reach the end of the rainbow.

Until tomorrow,
