I think every one would sadly experience at some time in their business journey deception, lies, fraud but Mike has this belief. In business, along your journey you will make and lose money. On your personal side, you have a lifestyle you need to maintain financially.

If on the business side your client defrauds you, he immediately asks, does it impact his personal lifestyle financially? To date that answer has been no. So his mind remains strong. Unlike some who might go into flight or fright. Mike only knows one way to fight  by staying mentally focused.

Another way he maintains his mental energy so they don’t impact his PMA is he literally has a quote for every disappointment. Mike concludes by sharing 5:

  1. Staff suddenly leave…
    “A new broom, sweeps clean!”
  2. Someone talking bad about you. Nobody talks about losers only those you feel threatened by. So you must be worthy in their eyes of gossip.
  3. Never become complacent, in times of peace prepare for war.
  4. Slow is quick, quick is slow. Build your business one brick at a time.
  5. It will happen when circumstances happen that you feel totally beaten (nobody is invincible).” Today I was beaten, tomorrow I will be strong. This too shall pass. Even if you still feel mentally bruised the next morning you agree you will feel slightly better even if its only one percent. It’s still progress “
