So last night Angie ask me to run out to the store and pick up a few items. One item she requested was spinach. Now you have to understand that we had just finished a one hour boot camp class where my idea of success is surviving and I had a flyer I needed to get out for a speaking engagement I have coming up so my mind was everywhere but spinach.
However, like a good husband would do, I gathered up myself (and the disc of the flyer to drop off and get printed, because you shouldn’t have to make multiple trips right?) and went out to the store.
I hurried through the grocery picking up all the items on the list including the spinach.
When I returned home, Angie quickly realized that the spinach was out of date and smelled like 30 day old grapes left in a cooler that also served as a coffee table. (don’t ask, it’s a long story)
At any rate, we had to return to the store and exchange the old spinach for new spinach. Angie went with me—should I be surprised by this?
So what have a learned from my adventure that will help you in your business?
- You better remain focused on your goal or you will miss the mark, especially when there are distractions!
- Not everyone is your customer. Sometimes you had to return the spoiled one’s for much better one’s that love you!
- Never, ever, under any circumstances bring bad spinach home. Not really a business lesson, but a lesson learned none the less
Have a great day and remember, if you are not making sales, then you don’t have a business, you have an expensive hobby!
