How the State of the Union Speech Limits Your Business Income

How the State of the Union speech limits your Business Income

I must admit.  I watched less than 5 minutes of the State of the Union speech last evening.  I didn’t have to watch it.  I knew what the speech was going to address.

Problem – Problem – Problem – Problem.  Everywhere a problem.

The answer to these endless problems – Government has the answer.

But there’s a massive flaw in such belief that we depend on  others to Increase Your Business Income.  Can I give you a hint?  Our Congressional and government representatives are as clueless as the public in general.  Why would I say this?

May I give you an analogy?  Thank you.

Let’s say you want to get in shape – in fact, that was your top New Year’s Resolution less than a month ago.  So, you subscribe to a couple of magazines that are about fitness after picking up a sample at the local Barnes and Noble.  In addition, you purchase a couple of books that tell you what to eat and what not to eat. 

You begin to visit the health food and nutrition and exercise blogs and websites on a daily basis.  You subscribe to e-newletters from BeefCake.com and SexyAndFit.com (I just made these up – I don’t know if they exist).

You find a couple of meet-ups focused on healthy living.  And lastly, you become a distributor for that vitamin or nutritional drink company.

Six months later, you wonder why you aren’t in better shape than you had planned and you continue to carry most of the weight you were carrying at the beginning of the year.

Why?  You forgot ONE thing on the task and to-do list.  Implementation!!!  In other words, eating properly and exercising 4-5 times per week.

How Does this relate to the State of the Union speech and the limiting of your business income?  Simple.

You have the answers.  You are aware of what needs to be done in your business.  But, implementation is something you simply don’t seem to get around to.  You believe you always need more – more information, more insight, more thoughts, more government oversight and regulation, more hand-holding. 

As a friend of mine says, Ideas without Implementation are simply Mental Self-stimulation.  He says it in a more crass manner, but you get the idea (I hope).

Change does not require a State of the Union speech, another regulation or law.  Change is a result of implementing what you know you must do.  Time to implement.  Time for you to self-regulate your Business income.
