Dear God: Please Help Me Get Out Of This…

December 9th, 2009

They say there aren’t any atheists in the foxholes.

I think the same applies on the battlefield of business.

Indeed.  Invoking the Divine Being for help is a natural reaction to an economy under attack and struggling to right itself.

Ever see a movie called, ‘The End?’… (stay with me).

Burt Reynolds tries to drown himself by swimming out to sea.  But he discovers he really wants to live and starts back to shore..

Now the bargaining with God begins. While he’s swimming like crazy, he promises to give 80 percent of his annual wealth to the church if God gets him out alive.

But…

The closer he gets to shore (and sees he may live), the original percentage gets lower and lower until it’s a tiny fraction.

It’s supposed to be funny… but it’s really statement about human nature.

Entrepreneurs will do ANYTHING to get out of a financial mess. They’ll battle and brawl to stay afloat.

So…

You try things you would never have attempted. You market in ways that a few months ago would’ve been unimaginable.  You begin to pay attention to clients that have been ignored for years. You may even try that newsletter I’ve been nagging you about.

And you promise God and anyone else who’ll listen that, if this stuff works, you’ll NEVER stop doing it.

Here’s the BIG lesson:

The economy will turn around. It will get better – although it will NEVER be the same again. (More on that tomorrow).

6, 9 or 12 months from now, the temptation will be there to revert back to the bad ‘ol ways… to forget those promises you made.

Don’t do that.

I really want to help you succeed and thrive – not just ‘get by’ and survive.

Here is a resource I hope you will check out: www.dankennedy.com

I’m not an affiliate. I get no financial reward if you go there. But I know you will benefit.

Sign up for his ‘No BS Marketing Newsletter.’ You get three months free to try it out. I think it’s $49 a month. It’s worth every penny, guys.

Getting this every month will keep you excited, enthused and proactive about your marketing. It’s the ‘kick in the butt’ every entrepreneur needs.

Plus… it’ll make sure you don’t have to bargain with God… well, at least about your business.

Taking action just feels right,
