Waiting Around for Something to Happen

 Waiting Around for Something to Happen
“So what do we do? Anything – something, so long as we
don’t just sit there. If we screw it up start over, try
something else. If we wait until we’re satisfied
all the uncertainties, it may to late.”
Lee Iacocca, Former Chairman of Chrysler

As I see it. . . . . . . .
Waiting around for something to happen

When there something that has to be done, step back take a look at what it is that has to be done. Determine what you’re going to have to do to get it done . . . . and then just do it.

Don’t sit there waiting around for something to just happen by itself, step up . . . . and do what has to been done.

There will never be a perfect time to do something . . . . Do what has to be done now . . . . and then do the best you can with the circumstances that you find yourself in.

Things can often not work out as you planned. In those times you have to stay strong adjust your plan . . . . and try again using the experienced that you have gained in the setback.

Life is not perfect so when life hands you a lemon . . . . it will be up to you to make lemonade.

Don’t wait for success . . . . waiting causes frustration . . . . and can lead to marginal decision making and moves success out of your reach.

Don’t sit around waiting . . . . Take decisive action now with the determination to create successful results.

To Solve Big Problems You Have to Make Tough Decisions


To Solve Big Problems You Have to Make Tough Decisions
“To solve big problems you have to be willing
to do unpopular things.”
Lee Iacocca, Auto Executive      

As I see it. . . . . . . .

To solve big problems you have to make tough decisions

Solving big problems takes focusing on the solutions and in moving forward . . . . and not becoming mired in the past. And inordinate amount of time is wasted in problem solving as a result of looking for someone to blame instead of taking the responsibility to solve the problem.

To solve a big problem remain focused the solutions and in making the tough decisions.

Many times the solution to a big problem comes as a result of creative thinking . . . . And in having stepping up to the plate and making the tough decisions.

A word of caution that in solving big problems many times you get trapped in group thinking and trying to come to a conscious. In that conscious the baby is throw out with the bath water. Many times conscious become a substitute for making a tough decision.  

Conscious thinking pushes the real problem down the road because within the conscious thinking . . . . no one has made the tough decisions.

Solving big problems takes making tough decisions. Those decisions are made by tough people . . . . willing to take risks.

Once the problem is resolved use the experiences and lessons learned from the problem solving to move forward. Use the experiences that you have learned to become more effective in your future endeavors in making tough decisions.  

To solve big problems you have to make tough decisions. They are made by tough people when the chips are down and the issues have to be addressed and resolved.

Unlocking the Secret to Customer Satisfaction


Motivational Power Quote

Unlocking the Secret to Customer Satisfaction 
There’s no great mystery to satisfying your customers.
Build them a quality product and treat them with
respect. it’s that simple.”
Lee Iacocca, auto executive    

 
As I see it. . . . . . . .

Unlocking the secret to customer satisfaction  

A key to satisfying customers is to understand your customer, their motivation, their needs and their expectations. Creating customers satisfaction is not created in a vacuum, it’s a joint venture between the customer, your company and yourself. 

Your product has to meet the customer’s needs and exceed the customer’s expectations in order to be of value to them.

A product that falls short in meeting a customer’s expectations either will result in no business being transacted, no referrals or no future business. Missed expectations creates a, lose – lose situation for all of the parties.

In most cases your product is your service. Your service has to exceed the customer’s expectation for you to remain competitive and to compete in a competitive business environment. Establish the customer’s expectations for your service and make every effort to exceed that expectation.

Be respectful of the customer’s and their needs and you will build rapport and confidence with the customer’s

Unlocking the secret to customer satisfaction is in understanding the customer and exceeding their expectations.

Don’t Procrastinate Do Something


Motivational Power Quote

Don’t Procrastinate Do Something
“So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as
we just don’t sit there. If we screw it up, start over.
Try something else. If we wait until we’ve satisfied
all the uncertainties, it may be too late.”
 Lee Iacocca, former Chrysler CEO

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Don’t procrastinate do something

When something has to be done the best time to start is now. Life is full of uncertainties and you can find many reasons to procrastinate, delay or to put something off, but you only need one reason to start. 

Don’t make excuses take action and get started.

If you fail . . . .start over with more experience; if you hit a brick wall, take a new path. Obstacles are temporary conditions and are mile makers on your success journey.

Start now, start with passion and start with determination to achieve successful results. When your start you take control of your conditions and your control of the course you will follow and your outcome.

Just don’t sit there make it happen. Don’t procrastinate do something about what has to be done.

Writing it Down

Motivational Power Quote


Writing it Down

“The discipline of writing
something down is the first step
toward making it happen.”
Lee Iacocca, auto executive



As I see it. . . . . . . .


Writing it down . . . . Is the first step in getting it done and making it happen.


When we have the disciple to write something down we create personal responsibility for achieving the outcome.


Writing it down forms the basis of what we want to accomplish with and the next step is to formulate a plan of activities to make it happen.


Having it writing creates a reference point at any moment time on where we are and what’s required to reach the desired outcome.


Write it down, formulate a plan, take action and see it through to the desired outcome.
