Where's My Bailout?

That’s right. It’s out there! Not on the news per se but it’s there. In this 3 part blog I’ll show you the surprising location it resides in and how you can get it. But first we need some background. As you know the economy is not doing well and that’s really no surprise. How did we ever expect a system running on the “mutual pursuit of self interest” and perpetual debt to ever work? We’ll we’ve been sold down the river on this and the world’s most sophisticated companies are dropping like the last few dried leaves of fall.

Here’s my point: If you think waiting for the economy to come around is a good strategy for your business…you’re in la-la land. Consider that if the most powerful, well-informed companies in the history of the world are failing…what makes you think you can survive in the same game?

If you can’t run with the footmen, what will you do when the horsemen come?

The New York Times’ Matt Richtel said this year, “…Fractured attention comes at a cost. In the United States, more than $650 billion a year in productivity is lost because of unnecessary interruptions, predominately mundane matters, according to Basex. The firm says that a big chunk of that cost comes from the time it takes people to recover from an interruption and get back to work.” Did you hear that?

If you haven’t read Michael’s book on the Rainforest Strategy you probably don’t know what a “no pest zone” is. But you should. Clearly many do not and are dying because of it.

For now let me give you the first bit of help in this otherwise dreary situation: Every person can rise to the near miraculous when there are no pests, no interruptions. But keeping the pests away requires a tool that’s up to the task. It also requires a change in thinking. Michael will tell you about the tool part below. Here’s the thinking part:

Remember when Jesus marveled and said about the Centurion, “I’ve not seen such great faith in all of Israel!” What was it that the Centurion did to evoke this absolutely unique response? Well apparently he simply understood authority – of authorized work. He understood the power of doing ONLY what one was authorized to do. In the my next post, I’ll show you what hides your “authorized work” from you and how you can save your business.

Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That's how we're gonna be -- cool. Critical is fine, but if you're rude or preachy, we'll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Tim Ferris & Brian Oberkirch for the inspiration)
