You're running into a brick wall ?

by Philippe Moisan Tutorial videos, sci-fi writer
The solution is simple :

BECOME A TANK !


The kind of tank that can go through a house with stopping in its tracks. :)

Now, how does one become a tank ?

  • Be focused
  • Think long term
  • Think BIG : remember, 1,000 people will apply for that ordinary job, 3 people will apply for that management job
  • Use common sense
  • Stay polite at all times in your business dealings
  • Do offer your opinion, with full respect
  • Do not use emotionally charged words, name calling, double talk, else,  to serious business people, you will appear weak, or look like you have a hidden agenda
  • Be determined
  • Be patient
  • Smile
  • Be generous
  • Go the extra mile to help people
  • Remember, everyone puts their pants on the same way as you
  • You failed ? Tomorrow is another day
  • Don't put your eggs in one basket
  • Use different strategies, try new things, don't let conventional thinking stop you
  • Discouraged ? Do something to change your mind, express your feelings to a good friend to  get a fresh perspective
  • Acknowledge your strengths  AND weaknesses
  • HAVE FUN
  • Be humble
  • If you believe in God, ask the help of the Holy Spirit. If bad parents give gifts to their children, imagine how happy the Lord will be if you ask for His help

If you combine all these things, rest assured, your tank will go through any brick wall and you won't lose a second of sleep over it. :)

By the way, be a nice, polite, humble tank. :)

Don't worry, keep going, the results will follow.

Awesome checklist. Just as I was beginning to feel overwhelmed, here comes a tool that gets me re-focused. Thank you. The article is well written, short and concise, yet informative. The format allows for a checklist.

Thanks to both of you. That article was written in 10 minutes, again, I was inspired by something that had just happened, I simply jumped at the keyboard like crows on a dying man.

@Lonnie, all I have to say after reading your comment is

ROFL

Thanks for the good laugh. What can I say, I've never been in the army. :)

I hope you realize I'm not mocking you. :)

Rest assured that If I had a printer I would be printing this out right now to hang on my wall. As is I plan to come back and consider this check list often and apply it to my business plan.

@Allison and @craig, getting that kind of feedback touches me deeply every time. Thanks, I appreciate it. :)

If it inspires you guys to continue to create good content like you already do, it is even better. I know seeing articles by serious marketers like you both is always a pleasure for me.

Isn't it fun that we can mix business and pleasure at APSense ?
