Your Bailout is YOU
The big, bad, locked-down economy is not going to accommodate you with more opportunities and more business without you taking some serious initial steps.
The economy most likely doesn’t even know you exist; up until now, you only operated as a small part of the economy and probably never gave a thought to creating your own.
The government is not going to bail you out, and it certainly is not going to help you and your company advance and conquer. (In fact, if it offered to, you would probably be better off resisting.)
The “money gods” aren’t going to guarantee your solvency or financial freedom, no matter how hard you pray to them.
The economy is in the state it’s in; you can be part of it and get whatever is left over after billions of people take their piece, or you can create your own and no longer be a victim of the lockdown.
You didn’t start reading this blog because you are comfortable or satisfied with where you are in life.
Chances are you want to change or improve your current position; this will require that you engage in actions that are outside your comfort zone.
If you aren’t at least a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of 10X, then you’re likely only doing right now more of what you were doing a month ago, which is NOT taking new actions that will incite growth.
If anything, most people are doing LESS actions than they were just 3 weeks ago.
There are disciplines you must pursue in order to get through the “corona” economy, and these require a new mindset about how to build your business and create your own economy.
The discomforts you experience now may well guarantee that you’ll be comfortable in the future — learn more about these ideas HERE.
So I hope you elect to be uncomfortable — at least for awhile…and start increasing your actions.
Any action alone will get you great results; lots of actions together will get you phenomenal ones.
Tough economies are not “normal” times, so stop worrying about being normal.
When the economic slowdown ends — and I promise, at some point, it will — you will have developed a skill set that no one else has, a mindset above those with whom you compete, a superior advantage in the marketplace, and hopefully, an economy of your own that doesn’t depend on outside sources.
This will not be a sprint but a marathon of forming new habits and honing a discipline that will become a way of life for you.
The economy does not control people; we compose and control it.
Your financial situation is the sum total of the actions you take each day. I have great hopes for you, and I encourage you to take 10X to a whole new level to ensure that your actions — not the marketplace — determine your, your family, and your company’s financial future.
Be outrageous in your thinking, relentless in your execution, and unreasonable in your actions, and you too will get through this next month.
Be great,
Grant
