Musings of a 50 Year Old Marketer
By Sharon Bray-McPherson
Glancing at the calendar the other day it occured to me that
I'll be 50 years old next week! Me? Half-a-Century?
According to statistics on life expectancy, I've already lived
over half of mine.
It all happens so fast, doesn't it? You wake up one day and
suddenly so much time has passed. And the universal questions you ask yourself are,
"Have I made the most of it?", "Did I do the best I could?",
"Could I have done more?"
Each individual has to come to those conclusions on their own.
What I have decided is this ... it doesn't matter.
Missed opportunities, mistakes, "coulda, woulda, shoulda"
... those are all in the past. In my view what really matters
is that I've learned something from them and I resolve to make the
most of the time I have NOW.
I guess what I'm saying is that the value of taking action, of
"just doing it," can't be emphasized enough. Because that common dream
killer - known as procrastination - can be the leading cause of future
regrets.
Ask any entrepreneur what is the one business decision they regret
making and 9 out of 10 will agree it's that they didn't start sooner.
And whether or not your business is successful ... not trying for
fear of failing is a failure on its own.
So apply that to the present day and think about this ... what will
you look back on years from now and wish you had done today?
Whatever it is ... "just do it".
Win or lose, being able to say "At Least I Tried", is something to
be proud of.
