Action Should Follow Good Advice

Action Should Follow Good Advice

 

An Up and Coming young business woman approached a Savvy older entrepreneur to seek out advise about how to overcome her business growth problems.

 

“How can I grow my business?” Up and Coming asked.

 

“Have you done ___?” Savvy asked.

 

“Oh yeah, tried that – didn’t see much in the way of results.” Up and Coming replied.

 

“Have you done ___?” Savvy asked.

 

“Yeah, that was a dud.”

 

“Have you done ___?” Savvy asked.

 

“Yes, did that once.  Nothing good came from it.”

 

“Have you done ___?” Savvy asked.

 

“Nah, sounded like too much work.”

 

Savvy sighed and said: “I don’t think I can help you, young friend.” 

 

Up and Coming scowled and replied “I knew you wouldn’t have any new ideas for me.  I don’t know why I bothered.”

 

Proverbs 26:16 reads: 

 

“Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors.”

 

Business is not now and never has been EASY.  

 

Even businesses that can one day be run passively require a lot of hard work up front to develop.

 

Most of us have already received so much advise that we’re not following and we’re still out there seeking more of the same.

 

When you learn something good – put it to good use!
