Here’s a great little story which nicely illustrates a common trap business people often fall into.
Henry was a self-taught man who bought a hot-dog cart and spent each day yelling, Hot dogs!
Soon he sold enough hot dogs to afford a sign and some advertising.
With time, Henry sold enough hot dogs to send his son to college.
His son returned home with an MBA and said, Dad, there’s a recession.
You need to scale back the business before you lose it.
Henry got nervous and stopped advertising.
He took down his sign, and even stopped yelling, Hot dogs!
One day he came home dejected, and his son asked, What’s wrong, Dad?
You’re right, son, said Henry. This recession is killing my business!
Be Blessed
