It's our annual football review, as my favorite college football team, the Michigan Wolverines, take the field this week on New Year's Day in the Outback Bowl. This year I was disappointed with my boys in blue from day one; my sis-in-law, cousin & I had all met in Dallas to cheer them on in the Cowboy Classic. We tailgated in 100+ degree weather and expected to see our team on fire and ready to challenge the reigning National Champions, Alabama. What we saw for our troubles? A poorly played, uninspiring game which we lost, 41-14.
Let's just say I really didn't care too much for the rest of the season. Yeah, they won a lot of games, and had a decent year, but that first game really dimmed it for me. My emotional response to the experience affected how I felt about Team 133 - and not much could change that.
How often in business we let our emotions dictate our reactions! For example, we have a hostess who cancels last minute. Our feelings are hurt because we really needed that show. Sound familiar? WE then began questioning why we do the business, why we even bother to care...the list goes on and on. We let the poor organization skills of one woman literally put us out of business because of our FEELINGS.
With football, there's always next year. Team 134 will take the field in the Big House on Aug. 31, 2013, and all will be forgotten. With lia sophia, we have to remind ourselves that there's always another show. If its not on the books, then we have to put on our big girl panties and go find it. Your business destiny is entirely based on what you do. So make a decision that 2013 is another show, a new show. Get in the game by taking control of your business, and not letting the actions of others have an effect!
