Story – What’s Working….
A bus full of passengers was on its journey. Suddenly the weather changed and there were a huge downpour and lightning all around. The passengers saw that lightning appeared to come towards their bus but then it moved ahead without hitting the bus.
After 4 to 5 such horrible instances of being saved by the lightning, the bus was stopped about fifty feet away from a tree and unanimously decided –
“We have somebody in the bus whose death is a certainty today. Because of that person, everybody else will also get killed. We need each person to go one-by-one and touch the tree trunk and come back. Whosoever’s death is certain will get caught by the lightning and will die. But everybody else will be saved”.
They had to force the first person to go and touch the tree and come back. He reluctantly got down from the bus and went and touched the tree. His heart leaped with joy when nothing happened and he was still alive.
This continued for the other passengers who were all relieved when they touched the tree and nothing happened.
When the last passenger’s turn came, everybody looked at him with accusing eyes. Everyone was sure. This passenger was also very afraid and reluctant. Everybody forced him to get down and go and touch the tree. With a 100% fear of death in mind, the last passenger walked to the tree and touched it.
There was a huge sound of thunder and the lightning came down and hit the bus – yes the lightning hit the bus.
It was because of the presence of this last passenger that so far, the entire bus was safe and lightning could not strike!
Learning from the story
So many times when we get success, we don’t think and note down what is working for us then. Over the time we tend to take these working things for granted and stop doing it. This is the biggest reason why business owners and businesses fall into the trap of Ups and Downs vicious cycles.
Let’s keep noting what’s working for us in real time so that when we experience little setback we can immediately refer our what’s working list and regain the winning streak.
Questions to ask ourselves
What has worked for me in the past?
What is working for me now?
Where can I note & how can I nurture the habit of noting my What’s working list?
I am going to give ambitious business owners, a step by step system of how to realize What’s working in our business easily and how to make use of it to
1.at least DOUBLE our income.
2. build a valuable business which can be sold in part or full if needed.
3. & How to PUT Business on AUTOPILOT, which WORKS and GROWS without us.
Consider this as my personal invitation to this seminar.
