Good Afternoon,

At the end of 2008, I had serveral friends and clients calling to complain about the doom and gloom of the economy.  It became rather trying to here.   Everyone had a complaint and if they were not complaining then they wanted to tell you the story about their friends situation.  Being around negative people or situations are not good. 

I decided in 2009, I would do an all  day workshop entitled "Bring It On 2009".  During this workshop, we had people come with all sorts of problems.  Some of the problems we dealt with were:  income is dropping, taxes are increasing, don't know if my money is safe, my property value is going down and I own rentals that are causing my cash flow to go out the window.  With some much to complain about, I managed to take these people from feeling hopeless to empowering themselves to do better.  We talked about each scenario and gave them an action item  to turn their  situation around.  By the end of the workshop, we had people laughing , exchanging numbers and really feeling like their is hope.  The key to any problem is to remember it is not the problem you focus on, but solution to the problem.  The solution is what is going to make you feel empowered to be proactive.  The problem will drain all your energy.

Remember : solution solution solution!

Best,
