CANMORE, ALBERTA – What a strange week it has been.

In Canada, our feeble Prime Minister called an election (again). It’s only been 2 years since the last one, but he evidently was not satisfied pushing through his agenda with only a minority government and believes he can win a majority this time. Since the main opposition leader is also a moron, he may get it.

All this while countless fires burn out of control in our most western province, British Columbia, with residents in the popular tourist area of Kelowna asking out of towners to please go home to free up likely needed hotel space.

Wow!

Meanwhile, the US leaves Afghanistan (only took 20 years to realise the futility) and the country falls to the Taliban in 3 days or so. Not sure what to make of the hundreds of millions of dollars of military equipment that has fallen into their hands, paid courtesy of the average American; who likely doesn’t even know where the country is.

Ouch!

Of course, the mainstream news continues to drone on about the dreaded Covid virus, with variants sprouting up all over the place. For now, at least, we haven’t gone full lockdown again, like they did recently in New Zealand - over 1 case, no less!

What does all this have to do with business and YOUR business in particular; you might ask?

Good question.

Everything and nothing.

For one, most of the negative news, being regurgitated ad nauseum, is beyond your control. You can’t do anything about it. For the most part, none of it will affect your local business at all. Not in the short run.

So, you best ensure that you keep focused in serving your niche of customers, clients and patients to the best of your ability. Make sure they know what makes you different from your competitors. Ensure you have processes to invite them back, time and time again. With friends in tow!

Watch you cashflow. Eliminate all unnecessary expenses. Keep an eye on your profit margins. Be ready to raise prices.

At the same time, you cannot be complacent about all the news around you. Think strategically. How could any of it affect your business in the long run? What pitfalls could emerge, and opportunities be revealed?

I know what you’re thinking.

How does one keep a head above water to view the long term when all around it feels like chaos?

On your own? Extremely difficult.

But, with a mentor and or group of likeminded individuals, all pursuing similar goals, this becomes commonplace.

Together with a detailed a plan outlining the best strategies for your business, you can be as close to a guaranteed success as is possible.
