Wanting It Bad
It's hard not to get discouraged by the impact of Global Drag, the term coined to describe the psychic state of business. Fear and uncertainty will not relinquish their grip. With a few notable exceptions, the recovery is anemic. We wake up in the middle of the night wondering what the heck we are doing wrong.
Even if you are the kind of person that reflexively refers to problems as "challenges," laughs loudly, cherishes the good times in life, and takes an optimistic view, it's hard not to succumb to doubt. From time to time you can get discouraged. You cannot control your circumstances.
J. Paul Getty once said the formula for success is:
1. Rise early.
2. Work hard.
3. Strike oil.
We can't control circumstances. We can't fix global drag. We can only control how we react to conditions. It would be a mistake not to remember the want-it-bad feeling that allows us to overcome the odds.
With all due respect to JPG I offer this revision:
1. Rise early.
2. Work hard.
3. Want it bad.
