John Hersey Leadership Blog

John and I make a point to surround ourselves with people who have a positive mindset, even during an economic downturn. Here are a couple of excerpts from emails we received this weekend:

Here is some great insight on how to not only survive but thrive during these unusual economic times.

OneCoach CEO John Assaraf and President Scott deMoulin (www.onecoach.com ) discussed what you can focus on now to get the business you want, regardless of what’s going on out there.

Some key takeaways:

• In order to live a life of unlimited abundance, you must focus on what you want to create, rather than living a life of default focused on what is already happening.
• If you focus on the problems, then it is difficult to see the opportunities in front of you to take advantage of.
• Your mind can only focus on one image at a time, so if you are focused on the challenges then that is the only thing you are going to see.

And here’s what Joe Vitale ( http://www.mrfire.com/) says-Like many marketers who are busier than ever right now, watching TV is very low on the priority list.

But the other day during a much needed break, I turned the TV on to see what was going on in the world.

I almost wish I didn’t.

After watching just 10 minutes of the news and learning about massive corporations going out of business, the stock market going bonkers, the housing market, and the recession, you’d think that we’re on the brink of a complete and total economic crash.

I can only imagine the mindset of people who spend a great deal of time in front of the TV watching the doom and gloom news.

They must be completely scared out of their minds.

And for some, they really have every right to be… unless they know the *ONE* thing that can completely recession-proof their life and business.

What the news isn’t talking about is how many people are having their most profitable years EVER….

There are no mentions of how people are driving more traffic to their websites than ever before…

And there are no mentions of people spending fortunes to attend marketing events around the world, take their families on vacations, and are truly living the life of their dreams.

Why isn’t the media talking about these people?

Can’t we feed our heads with good information like this rather than staying up late at night until we are blurried eyed from watching politicians and bureaucrats point fingers at one another and tell us that the sky is falling.

We think so!
