How To Accept Change In Your Business

Accept change because if you want to get more clients and you want to make more money and you want to play a bigger game and you really want to leverage and multiply your business and breakthroughs, then that means something needs to change. But here’s what I’ve learned in my life so far is that we human beings are not wired for change. If you think about the body’s ability to keep the body temperature the same and the saline content in your blood the same and the water the same and if you think about your pH level, it’s always about balance.

The PR Success Connection

Launching a public relations campaign can be confronting. Many people are uncomfortable and resist the mere thought of launching a PR campaign. As one client explained to me, he didn’t want to do interviews, he didn’t want to be a star; he simply wanted his business to be successful. I understood exactly what he meant. His focus was on his business, on the bottom line, and being featured in a newspaper or on a TV segment didn’t mean much to him, unless it affected the bottom line.
