 President's
Corner
Every note business I know of is
working harder than ever these
days - toiling late into the
night, taking on more
questionable transactions than
prudent, adding marketing
efforts and testing their
marketing more, going in 10
directions at once, juggling
possibilities that aren't yet
realities, all while tucking
family and personal needs into
crowded corners of the day.
And all for good reason.
These are times that definitely
are testing us.
But there is a not so promising
result from all such valiant
efforts. I see it on the
faces of some of my associates
in the business and hear it on
their voices over the phone.
They are verging on exhaustion.
If this sounds like you then
please; relax!
Yes, we all have to work harder
these days, often much harder.
But we also have to work smarter
and more imaginatively. We
can't do that if we're
exhausted. We must give
ourselves the opportunity to
recharge and regenerate.
But how can we feel good about
slowing down with days and
nights that are already jam
packed and financial pressures
looming over our shoulders?
We simply have to acknowledge
that when we are rested and
refreshed we can do everything
more quickly and better.
Taking time out to rest, relax
and refresh actually lets us
save time and increases our
chances of more successful
results.
What should you do? Well for me
fishing is near the top of my
list of course. For others
it's as simple as taking a nap,
a round of golf, taking a hike,
an hour of pampering at a spa, a
weekend camping trip or just
taking a break to play with the
kids or dog.
So I challenge you to identify
what you find most relaxing and
refreshing and do it! Your
future really does depend on it.
Remember, Success Demands
Action! Keep on marketing, it’s
going to work! TWITA!
