Three (Four) Championship Rings are Unstoppable

Self promotion is hard for most people. This leads to problems when you or your service requires publicity. If the subject you know the most about, yourself, has yet to be fully matured in presentation then how can anything else be by comparison. If you have three (four) rings at some point they speak for you. Those of us with no rings better make sure people know what is so great about whatever it is we are promoting. The unstoppable point is you are always promoting something.

Giving them something to talk about

Over the past few weeks I watched the NBA Playoffs. In recent memory this was the best overall playoffs I have seen. The games were close, Denver almost went to the big one, and several players elevated their games. Even with the good basketball, the stand out for me was the Nike Basketball commercials featuring Lebron James and Kobe Bryant puppets.

Sales can get personal.

We have all lost our fair share of friends and family business. Don’t take it personal because to some people it is “just business”. Always keep delivering value and most times the business will come back to you. All is not lost unless you do something irresponsible. Keep a smile and try not to make a big deal of it.

When Standing Up is Hard to Do.

The promise of most leaders is that they will stand up in the face of opposition. This requires being okay with confrontation and the awkward moments of a standoff. It is not about backbone or resolve, but standing up even if you will be knocked down. In business it can mean being a whistle blower. In everyday life it could be children asking for cookies before dinner knowing the answer is no. Sometimes leadership means making an unpopular decision and taking the consequences in stride. A great example is when Mr. Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee defended Tom Robinson. Tom Robinson was sure to be found guilty no matter the evidence. Would you take that case? Even though he was a small town lawyer, that kind of of leadership is rare.

Remember when gas was $4 a gallon?

Remember when gas was $4.00 a gallon and were going to solve the energy crisis ASAP. Those were the days: no unnecessary trips, carpooling was all the rage, and everyone was ditching their SUV’s for a Prius.  This year we have hovered around $2.00 a gallon. Not to mention car companies are going extinct: Pontiac, Saab, Saturn, and Hummer. Unfortunately, we will never get the Trans AM to return to production. For all my Knight Rider and Smokey & the Bandit fans; the Trans AM shall rise again!
