Obama and My Success Message:

Success: Recovering From Failure

As a Republican or Democrat we as Americans not “Ameri-cants” must rebuild our great nation and the same can be said for my business my families survival and many others depend on what we do from this day forth.

If you’re an hard working business owner or small investor who has been putting in whatever you could during the last few years…Okay, let’s say you’ve been giving it your all. Well, maybe not your *all*, but a good portion of your all. And you’re not seeing any progress. So now what? Are you doomed to failure and never to succeed? No! Keep reading.

One thing that you need to understand is that failure is an event, not a person. It doesn’t define you as a “loser” for the rest of your life—unless you let it. Failure happens to you—it isn’t who you are. You’re not a victim, but it also doesn’t define you. So when it happens (notice I didn’t say “if”), pick yourself up and get ready for the next event in your life.

You must adjust your attitude as you recuperate from a failure. You will rise to your own expectations. Psychologists call this a “self-fulfilling prophecy,” and we are suckers to believe our own words. So adjust your attitude to the positive side of things.

Remember the guy who came up with the brilliant idea to change Coke? Back in the 80s (for those of you who were mere babes during that decade), someone had a stroke of genius—or so he thought. The Coca Cola company decided to compete more with Pepsi, and changed the formulation of their signature product—Coke.

They called it “The New Coke.” It bombed. No one enjoyed the new taste and the calls were immediate to bring back “the old Coke.” After a few months of hemming and hawing, Coca Cola executives brought back the original formula of Coke and ditched the new stuff—and its creator.

So what happened to the guy whose idea this was? He left Coca Cola and began to look for new work. The trouble was, his name was well known in the business community and everyone connected him to the failure that New Coke was. He finally landed an interview in which he got a fair shake: the interviewer asked what he had learned through the problems the New Coke had created.

Naturally, he indicated that he had many lessons learned from the fiasco. He didn’t let failure define him, and he ended up landing the job for which he was interviewing. Good for him, right? But good for the company that hired him, too. They were willing to take a chance on a creative risk-taker who had a very public failure on his record.

Many of those who are considered to be “successful” have had failures dot their lives. Rush Limbaugh, the king of daytime talk radio, was fired multiple times from different radio jobs. He also filed for bankruptcy—twice. So you can see how Limbaugh didn’t permit failure to define him. Those failures were events from which he recovered and moved on. And you should take the same tact when confronted with something that didn’t turn out like you hoped it would.

The point in my life and in the lives of many more like me is that now with more knowledge experience and abilities my life is at a cross roads with a much harder time to accomplish inroads. I say this to pass on the fact that even this signals opportunity and not a disadvantaged during the recession and depression of the past greater amounts of wealth was placed in the hands of more new millionaires than ever before.

How?

By providing more value in smarter economical ways by empowering more people who seek to empower their own lives. We or you or me will improve the lives of others and create new wealth in America and potentially the world.

So lets head into the fact that we as Republicans may have lost a race but we can and will win as we work harder to lift up our fellow man with greater commitment and value. Congratulations Mr. President we too are ready to serve our country from the halls of American business.

Success equals business

With the economy in shambles many Americans are looking for a government bailout however savvy business people are going the other direction and putting their money, talent, and vision were their mind is and that’s squarely on success.

Innovative business concepts like www.uscitizensinvest.org plan to change the landscape of the USA by giving power to the people who choose to buy American and revive the economy instead of cringe and hide under a recessionary rock.

While there are a lot of people who hope to be their own boss and own their own business; however, starting a business can be very straining and difficult. You will want to make sure that you have the time, the effort, the money, and the motivation to take off with the business. However, have you ever thought about purchasing a business? You may find that there is a business up for sale that is priced just right. You will be able to buy some success by purchasing an existing business.

Remember first off that the owner is selling the business for a reason. If you work at the establishment, such as in the situation mentioned before, you probably know why the business is being sold. Keep in mind that if you have a close relationship with the owners they may leave some important details out of the deal because they don’t want to scare you off. Ask. It could be as simple as the owners wishing to retire. In this case, buying the business could be an excellent investment.

You may want to consider what the profit of the business is. If you consider purchasing a business that failed for someone else, it is important to analyze why. There may just not be any demand or the location by just not bring in the customers. Maybe the owners made bad business decisions. In some cases, the business has a bad reputation. These are all things to consider when buying a business instead of starting your own.

You will want to think about how you can change the business to avoid the failures. In some cases, this simply cannot be done. For example, if your community is largely made of families or retirees, there is not much of a demand for a nightclub in the neighborhood, and this may be why the previous business failed. You may be able to take the business and make some positive changes and prevent the business from failing. If the previous owner of your clothing store invested the company’s money largely in high priced merchandise, perhaps you want to consider readjusting the business to sell affordable clothing instead.

You will always want to consider changing the name, unless you feel that the business would lose its traditional success in the community. When you change the name you will able to personalize the business and make it seem like a different business that should be given the chance. You will also want to think about the advantages of the business and how you can help the weaknesses and advantages become stronger. So when it comes to choosing between starting your own business and taking over a pre-existing business, you will want to ask yourself what is best for you and which way you would actually have a change to make something of the business.

Just remember if you’re ever asked what the definition of success is in America say “Success equals business in the U.S”

If you are not sure ask the Americans who stand up and build success from their garages online or offline creating something out of nothing. The few the proud the American success stories small companies like.
