TIMING:
Does anyone really have a crystal ball?
If so, then why have the best and the brightest of Washington, DC and Wall Street – both – missed it?
Here is my sense of how we all need to best deal with the uncertainty and unprecedented challenges we are all facing….
IF YOU WANT TO BE FIRST, ACT LIKE YOU ARE LAST.
Am an admitted news junkie…watch the Today Show, CNBC,
CNN – The Situation Room all the time and watch everyone I am in
contact with, repeat what I already know and have learned from these
sources.
The conclusion is always the same – NO ONE can predict with absolute certainty what will or will not happen, not BGates, not WBuffett, not the Prez.
Here’s what is called for and needed now more than ever – it comes down to two things:
1) Trust your Intuition: you know or you know you don’t know – what needs to happen to improve your situation. SO - ACT on your intuition, instead of waiting for the next conference, or newsletter to validate what you already know.
2)
Partnerships: the days of going it alone are over…as are the days of
dealing with multiple vendors / suppliers for the same sort of support.
SO - pick and choose who you like, trust and
have confidence in – that can take you to the next level…in your
community, in your state, in the hospitality network—-then, make a
commitment to leverage this relationship….while everyone else is trying
to decide what to do.
Onward and INNward,
Jim
