Some things are outside of our control and we simply can’t affect them, so unless you are one of the people on the inside and you have successfully lobbied Brian Cowen, then your views will not change the budget 2008.

So what can you change – that will dramatically affect how well your business fares?

First you must have a can do attitude – this means that you will do everything within your power to ensure you get the best result. This means that if there was a way to increase your marketing leads or close more sales you would take it. Wouldn’t you.

Get right to the essence of what makes you successful, what makes customers want to buy from you over the competition and then find a way to communicate with them in every way that makes sense financially.

All that makes so much sense, you probably already thought about it – so why don’t you do something now. Maybe now is the time to get a business health check – just 15 minutes by phones and it could help you kick-start your marketing or even get your blueprint for success.

As Nike says – Just Do it, in fact just do it now – may your response to budget 2007 be one of excellence, persistence and above all success.
