Get Over It – What Is Your Responsibility To Our Economy?
It is my prediction that in 2010 the small business owner and entrepreneur we'll have the responsibility of turning around our economy. I see that most of us would admit that we didn't get into this situation by ourselves or because of a single person, and the president is doing everything he can to turn this economy around. We have an obligation to our economy to get our message out into the world to help others and by doing so will naturally stimulate the economy helping each other. I once attended a webinar by Russell Brunson who told of his personal story of how his family was started. He explained but his wife was having some trouble getting pregnant. One night while watching TV they saw a commercial for a local fertility clinic, and this fertility clinic was eventually the answer to a prayer. He explained that it was the obligation of that clinic to send their message out into the world with so that people like Russell could find them. Marketing has gotten a bad rap, it has a bad name. If you look at it from a standpoint of pushing your products or services on people you have a negative feeling and it makes you feel like you're doing something wrong. If you change how you see it and you look at it from the perspective of the customer or whom needs your information it's now your obligation to send that message out to as many people as possible so that your perspective customer can find you and receive the help they need. I believe in 2010 if we all start to believe this way and build our businesses online using the power of one to many through the technology of the Internet that we can help our government change the future of this economy. We are not powerless! Every single day you log onto your computer and yet you realize not the power that you have. Every single one of us has something special within us- knowledge, experience, wisdom, any advice that people are willing to pay for. If you knew the knowledge that you had could change someone else's life and that they would pay you for it would you share it? I say get over yourself but don't think about it from your perspective think about it from the person who needs it.
Now that's the first step is deciding to do something about it. The next step is knowing what to do and how to do it. Please join me for my free class on Thursday January 14 where I share with you the house to.
If you begin with a business that creates value, you will always have the right perspective about approaching customers. But more importantly, you will be able to determine which customers are a good fit for your business. I think it's clear small business will play a critical role in the economic recovery and that mission is certainly a big part of the value they provide.
Great point about creating value- I absolutely agree. Joe Vitale once said if you set an intention of something you want for yourself and that intention will also help two other people- you have more power behind the goal.
Is that forecast for all small businesses or a certain category within the Small Business Administration's guidelines since 99.9% of all businesses in the U.S. are small businesses (under 500 employees)?
Did you use a voice translator to write this blog? There are a lot of grammatical errors that look like they were made by a translator. I pay attention to grammar, and in some areas this was almost unreadable. Good information, bad execution.
For instance, "Tracy is that we have an obligation to our economy to get our message out into the world to help others and by doing so will naturally stimulate the economy helping each other." What does Tracy have to do with it? I'm confused?
I actually do use a voice translator- good eye! I normally go through and proof them but I was in a hurry so I need to go in and fix it- thanks for pointing that out.
I would say the solopreneur is who I’m referring to here – the micro business.
