A lot of people are probably feeling lost this Monday morning (including myself). For years we did one thing, and we did it well. Every single business on planet earth was affected one way or another. The well trodden paths were ravaged by a storm. You cannot give in to the fear of the unknown. Now is the time to rebuild your career, or your business. It's time to get out of our comfort zones, and embrace the unknown future ahead. And the time to start is today. #thegreatrecovery

good morning good morning Big B coming
to you Monday morning how you doing
what can work today listen you might
feel like a lot of people out there
including myself to be honest with you
which direction do I go you might be
feeling confused you might be feeling
anxious you might be feeling lazy you
might be feeling upset too angry but
mainly lost I went through all these
emotions and the truth is it's not a
simple world you know you have you were
set up for years and what is it you were
doing maybe you owned a business that
got completely wiped out maybe you're in
a job that you got let go or temporarily
laid off for three months yeah right
it's done maybe you just don't know what
to do with yourself because you got so
good at your job or you got so good at
your company that you don't know how to
prospect and you don't know that skill
which is getting yourself into something
new so here's a few piece of advice that
I gave to myself and I'm gonna give to
you number one is this is not vacation
time we had our time we had our
quarantine we stayed in our houses it
was very nice we were blessed with all
kinds of family time that time is over
okay between from Monday and Friday it
is hustle time it is grind time so what
does that mean practically hustle and
grind what does that mean practically
first of all showing up is half the
battle when you show up you already are
ahead of 75% of the people out there
because most people are still sleeping
most people are still in quarantine in
their brain all right and you have an
opportunity right now where you could
start moving ahead of them so what does
that mean practically let's start as if
let's start as if you've lost your job
okay we're going to start from there
if you lost your job there's competitors
that are in your space that most likely
are still open
my suggestion is pick up the phone and
call those competitors you are a huge
asset you're a huge asset to those
people
that are in the same line of work of
work that you are because you have a
tremendous amount of knowledge start
networking with those people
and try to get yourself into a job try
to get yourself into a career try to get
yourself out of your house that's
something very important as well I'm
walking thing because I want to be
outside as much as humanly possible now
let's say you're a business owner what
do you do like me I'm walking to the
office today baby I'm meeting with my
team you know we're not 15 people
anymore I'm not gonna lie we've got hit
really really hard we're down to less
than half a dozen but I'm gonna meet
with them today we're gonna figure this
thing out we're gonna figure out the
direction we're going and we're gonna
figure out how we're gonna move forward
we're gonna figure out how we are gonna
make it rain and you got to do the same
thing all right this morning where you
going I said I'm going to work I'm going
to the office I've been home for three
months I'm gonna work she said good luck
and go get him tiger
so the point is you're a business owner
figure it out you can't sell the same
product that used to sell figure out how
to sell a new product figure out how to
sell a new industry figure out how to
use your resources figure out how to use
your team but to die in apathy is a sin
look at these people look at them
chillin 5b yeah don't be like those guys
waiting for something to happen
five people standing around there on
payroll they don't care they get paid by
the city you don't and if you are
getting paid by the city its temporary
just because the city just because the
city or your government is paying you
money today doesn't mean they're gonna
pay you money tomorrow and you got to
figure out how to make it work on your
own and not be spoon-fed we're on in
school anymore we're not in kindergarten
anymore we're not in high school anymore
you're a big boy and a big girl and it's
time for you to get your butt off up off
the couch
and go do something and I want to say by
the way it's okay to feel lost it's okay
to feel disoriented we literally were
all messed up from this thing
we're all messed up from this thing
don't think that I wasn't messed up
either but the question is is what we
gonna do about it are we gonna sit
around and blame cómo blame Trump blame
this one blame that one blame China
doesn't get you anywhere let everybody
else blame them you and I are gonna move
forward you and I are gonna go strong
you and I are gonna rebuild we're gonna
rebuild greater than we ever built
before but it starts with getting up in
the morning and it starts at the routine
and it starts with not giving up not
giving up I want to emphasize this if
there's one thing in the video that I
really want emphasize it's okay to feel
lost we're all walking a tightrope when
we've got pushed off and we all fell
into the ocean that's okay but guess
what there's a shore and we could swim
to it I hope you have a great day hope
you have a great week hope you have a
great Monday it's okay to be lost for a
little bit but the way to get lost
unlost is to get up just start finding
your way and today is the first day for
that god bless I hope this brought you
value
