Are You Running Your Business Like The Bush and Kerry Presidential Campaigns

As a frequent newspaper reader and infrequent TV news viewer, I find the current Bush and Kerry presidential campaigns very frustrating. The candidates and the press seem completely wrapped up with what happened 20 years ago. They seem to have little interest in creating a vision of what might happen in the next 4 years.

Do you run your personal life and your business always looking at the past? If so you need to turn your head around and start looking in front of you.

Needless to say we have all made mistakes. Most of the very successful people we know have made more misstates than many less successful people. They just happened to try more things and push on until they won.

As Napoleon Hill said “You are only defeated when you think you are.”

Learn from your mistakes. Learn from those instances that have hurt you. But, do not dwell upon it. Move on to the future. Act in the present and move to the future. Leave your past behind.

Hopefully before election day the candidates will leave the past behind and give us a vision of the future. A future we Americans will be proud to share together.

And while you are thinking of the future, think about buying, selling or improving a closely held business with www.successfulexits.com
