Focus On YOUR Business

A writing buddy was complaining
yet again
about how another writer does no marketing
(that she knows about)
and still has great sales.

This writing buddy
would likely have better sales
and more happiness
if she focused on her own sales,
her own books,
her own business.

Sure, we can
briefly look
at competitors
for inspiration
but
we should spend
the majority of our time
working on our own businesses.

We have limited time
on this wonderful planet.

Spend as much of it as possible
working to make
our own dreams
a reality.

Stop worrying about
everyone else.

When The People Around You Hate You

The Dr. Oz video
with him attempting to shop
at a grocery store
is what happens
when the people
around you
hate you.

His goal,
I believe,
was to appear
like an average person.

Instead,
it shows how out of touch
he is
with the average person.

He says he’s shopping
for a crudité,
a term not many average people
use.
He misnames the grocery store.
He misnames vegetables.
He shops without a basket.

It is an embarrassing mess.
Yet the people around him
allowed him
to share it
on social media.

Ensure you have people
around you
who will stop you
from doing f*cked up things
like this.
And ensure
you listen to them.

We ALL need
a support team
who actually supports us.
