The economic forecast is doom and gloom. But it doesn't have to be your economic reality. It's your choice! Do you choose the Batman or Mamma Mia economic mentality? If you know me, you know I choose the Mamma Mia economy. And if the attendance (over 70) at this week's Women's Leadership Exchange teleseminar " The Business of Attracting Business" presented by attraction expert Deanna Frazier is any indication, many business women are at least longing for the Mamma Mia economy and are willing to learn how to "attract" it. So the way I look at it is, if we all think positive about this economy and think out of the box about how we are keeping our businesses moving forward, we can generate business for each other, and be a major force in transforming Batman into Mamma Mia. Stop with the excuses of how "no business gets done in August - everyone's on vacation." If some people are buying into that assumption, there's even more opportunities for those of us who don't believe that. My thoughts were reinforced by Business Coach Gail Blanke, author of " Between Trapezes", who shared via email a fascinating fact. She said the Chinese symbol for CRISIS is the same symbol the Chinese use for OPPORTUNITY. The Chinese are very wise indeed! Okay, I'm off to celebrate like Mamma Mia, but the subject of this blog forces me to do a bit of self-promotion (something I rarely do). If you need help, and who doesn't, in keeping your Mamma Mia economic mentality in full force, along with tactics to make it a reality, come to the WLE West Coast Summit 8/12 in Long Beach, CA, where we'll be offering multiple tools to ensure the rest of 2008 is a "slam dunk".
