The best-laid plans of mice and men…
Kalia had been planning our trip to Massachusetts for the holidays for months. Coordinating flights with as many kids as we have isn’t an easy task.
Then Covid hit.
It didn’t hit us, but we were exposed to someone who got it bad. So it was decided that we shouldn’t make the trip.
Flights and hotels – canceled. Seeing the family – thwarted.
While we were sad, we decided to pivot.
Up went the Christmas tree and decorations in record time.
Last-minute Christmas Eve dinner reservations at an elegant Italian restaurant were made.
Christmas day activities were planned.
And it turned out great. (Other than my Miami Dolphins embarrassing themselves again.)
I guarantee that even some of your most carefully planned goals and projects will go awry in 2023. Unfortunately, that’s the nature of being an entrepreneur. Often, the difference between having a successful year and one of disappointment is how quickly you can recover from adversity.
To quickly adjust your plans, you need the following:
- Options. Having a variety of strategies and techniques you can implement is mission-critical for turning things around.
- Input. The entrepreneurial life can be a lonely one. That’s why you need the brain trust of positive, motivated people to run your new ideas by and, sometimes, to walk you off the ledge.
- Fortitude and tenacity. It’s okay to get knocked down. That happens to the best of us. The key is how quickly you get up and keep fighting.
While fortitude and tenacity only you can have control of, when you join the Inner Sanctum, you get #1 and #2 in spades.
I send the “Sales Arcana,” a print newsletter chock full of ideas to increase your sales every month. You’ll have a slew of proven options you can employ. (January’s issue is a humdinger with little-known strategies from Dan Kennedy, Gary Halbert, Robert Cialdini, and other legends.)
You’ll be part of a community with an evergrowing dedicated membership site to get input from other Inner Sanctum members who care.
And then you get me. Every month I do a live Q&A session where you can get my input and advice.
If you enjoy my daily DEEmails, then the Inner Sanctum might be right for you.
