| Crunch Point Time in Business |
| It is Crunch point time in Business, the recession has hit a lot of businesses and then other businesses have avoided these so called tough times. Where is your business at present? Declining sales, reduced revenues, low cash flow, pressure from the bank, pressure from debtors, losing investments or low team morale due to pay cuts. No Matter who you are or what you are doing, every person and organisation experiences problems, difficulties, unexpected reversals, and crisis that knock them off balance and must be dealt with nearly every two to three months. Crunch Point happens during recession times and in good times. |
| Personally all the businesses we deal with, we find the biggest problem is not the crisis itself, but the business owners reaction and ability to stay focused and think clearly during these times of crisis. The key to performing at your best during crunch times of your life is for you to focus single-mindedly on the solutions rather than the problems. This can prove to be difficult because your problems can be very real, however what other solution do you have than to stay focused, calm, relaxed and clear so you can focus on solutions! |
| Success is the ability to solve problems. |

| Over the course of the next 21 issues we will reveal Brian Tracy’s secrets to succeeding in crunch point times, succeeding when it matters the most. Lets be honest it is easy to be successful in the good times, however real success is accomplished in the bad times. |

Lesson One
|
| Stay Calm |
| Your thoughts are extraordinary powerful, with the ability to make you positive or negative, happy or sad, successful or a failure. Our thoughts determine our emotions our emotions create reactions and our actions determine our results. If we are thinking negatively then we have negative emotions, negative emotions create negative reaction which create negative results. When you find yourself at crunch point, when you experience a sudden setback or reversal, your very first job is to seize control of your thoughts and feelings to ensure that you perform at your best. The natural tendency when things go wrong is to overreact in a negative way, become angry, upset, overwhelmed, afraid, stressed, pressured, worried or disappointed. These stressful thoughts and feelings close down the part of the brain which realises natural endorphins which make us feel good. |
| If during tough times you do not remain calm and relaxed, your ability to make correct decisions is clouded and as a result you will take actions which can result in further negative results. |
| How do you begin to stay calm in crunch point times? |
| Attend Our Crunch Point Seminar |
| The first thing you need to do is take time out and relax, relaxation can be done in many way’s breath calmly and deeply, going for a walk in nature, going to the swimming pool or gym. In crunch point times you need to take a minimum of 30 minutes relaxation per day to relax your mind and stay focused on solutions. |

| The second thing you need to do is recognise the two forms of negative emotions. These are fear of failure and fear of rejection. Remember our response to the crisis is affected by our emotions be it positive or negative, we must begin to recognise these negative emotions. |
| The third way to slow your mind down and become more relaxed is to think on paper write the problem at the top of a page and then force yourself to come up with 20 solutions to the problem, keep writing until you come up with 20 answers. |
| Attend Our Crunch Point Seminar |
| The fourth area to focus on is to begin to consider what is the lesson you need to learn from this crisis. I believe all crisis are sent to teach us something we need to learn so we can move to a different level of success. If we stay calm and relaxed and take the learning from the situation this in its self will have a calming relaxing feeling. |
