Are You Running Your Business Like Eeyore?... Or Like Tigger?
Something's been happening in my life lately to transform me from Eeyore to Tigger in my business. And it's something I believe can do the same with you, too.
Remember those two? Winnie the Pooh's friends? Those two couldn't be more different. Eeyore was a downtrodden donkey. Nothing ever went right for him and he always let you know it.
Tigger, on the other hand, was so full of life and energy that no problem ever phased him. Granted, he was a little scattered. But if you had to choose one of them as an example to follow as a business owner, which would it be?
It sure wouldn't be Eeyore. Do you want to run your business on the basis of constantly expecting disaster? Not me!
But I guess I let myself become too much like Eeyore lately. I focused on what fell short of my goals and found problems around every corner.
I'd pick up notes on the things I felt were holding my business back. Then I'd shuffle them around for an hour or so, hoping for inspiration to strike. When none did, I'd tuck them away, no closer to a solution than when I started.
I'd shut myself off from new ideas. Every new direction seemed too filled with potential problems.
I was in a rut.
I decided it was time to dig into BANABU and get a different perspective on things. I had read through it and liked it a lot and liked it IN THEORY, but I never really applied it to my life.
I had rushed through it. I thought I was TOO BUSY dealing with THIS OR THAT PROBLEM to really dig into it and put it to work in my business and in my life.
BIG MISTAKE!
I told you last week about how applying the principles I learned in BANABU turned a potential disaster into something very positive.
Last night, I lay awake half the night. But what's absolutely crazy about that is that I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! I woke up midway through the night and idea after idea, solution after solution raced through my head. It was an incredible rush!
And it came from applying BANABU's 11 principles to my life in a consistent and structured way. What I experienced is by no means isolated, either.
I've had a chance to talk with others who have used BANABU. They've told me similar stories of the new solutions they've encountered in their businesses and in many other areas of their lives through BANABU.
But the most incredible story is the one that BANABU's creator, Mike Kempski, tells. He turned himself around from a drug addict on the verge of blowing his head off to someone who today has a life that most people dream of. BANABU is the result of what he learned to make that startling transformation.
Mike isn't someone throwing around wild theories. He's talking principles that have proven themselves time and time again. His story is a great story and I encourage you to read for yourself what the principles that became BANABU accomplished.
If you're finding more problems and disappointments in your business or in your life than solutions, take a close look at what BANABU can do for you. If you just feel there's something more you could have in business or in life, give it a close look. It's more than just a tool to build a better business. It's about helping you build a better life.
