Violent Pushback Is Successful

One of the things
we’ve learned
from the pandemic thus far
is…
loud and violent pushback
results in success.

Governments know
thousands,
likely millions,
of people
will die
because they dropped
COVID precautions.

Yet they dropped those precautions
anyway
because they were tired of dealing with
the loud and violent
minority
who seem to want
everyone around them
to die.

What this means is…
this tactic
of being loud and violent
will be used again.

Because it works.

It will be used against us,
business builders.
It will be used
against our partners.
It will be used
against our prospects/customers.

Expect your customer service team
to be verbally and perhaps physically
abused
in the future.

Decide NOW
how you will deal with that.

Put a plan in place.

Revelations About People

We’ve learned quite a bit
about the people in our lives
over the last few years.

We learned, for example,
some people
won’t wear a bit of cloth over their faces
to save our lives.

We also learned
some people
WILL take that action.
They will do as much as possible
to keep others safe.

We learned some people
will believe anything
they read or hear.

We also learned
that some people
do extensive research
before making a decision.

We learned some people
are terrible judges
of other people.

We also learned some people
are terrific judges
of other people.
They knew a certain former world leader
was a grifter
as soon as he appeared before them.

All these revelations
can help us tremendously
in our businesses
and our lives
going forward.

We know better
who the people around us
truly are.

Use that knowledge
to make your world better.
