Gigi Stetler, Author, Unstoppable! Surviving is Just the Beginning

It’s no secret that our world is still in the grips of a major recession. Whether it is a personal financial crisis due to unemployment or the need to secure financing to get a business off the ground, the current economic climate calls for what I like to call "SurThrival Mode.” What do I mean by that? Let me use my story as an example.

I can tell you that my life story is perseverance personified. It illustrates that, whatever strife you are facing (aside from any life-endangering illness), not only will you survive it, but you can thrive. But, it's all about your attitude.

Being an entrepreneur is a continuous learning process. Every day, I feel more enlightened than before. Startup life not only grooms you into being a seasoned businessperson, it also tests and hones your people-management skills which help in personal life too.

Human behaviorist Dr John Demartini explains why it’s important to pay yourself first and other methods you can use to maximize your profits

A few years ago I worked with an entrepreneur. Although he was driven, he had been overly altruistic and had not maximized his profits to himself. He realized that he was sacrificing himself for others. Although that is the service part of being an entrepreneur, it won’t make a lasting entrepreneur. If your highest values are not being fulfilled and you are not economically viable or profitable then what you’re doing doesn’t have sustainability. And you will probably burn-out doing it.

Many new hedge fund managers used to work at investment banks, at trading desks. They leave their jobs behind because they have an idea, a trading strategy or an algorithm, let’s say; something that they believe enables them to beat the market.

They do not start their hedge funds because they enjoy filing forms with the regulator, or negotiating contracts with banks, or dealing with HR issues, or spending days with real estate agents looking at office space… yet those are the tasks that will take up 50% or more of their time during the first few months on their own.

The more you gain the more you have to lose. This fact often pressures leaders into spending more time defending their positions than they do in listening to new ideas.

The one word every leader should avoid is, “But…”

The word “but” signals that your brain has quickly conjured up reasons for not taking a risk, for not choosing to do something different, or for not considering that past successes should not provide the blueprint for going forward in the future.
