hey what's up wealthy world barrel
Solomon here I'm back in Montreal I was
just in New York doing a shoot went very
well thank God I wanted to share a an
experience something that has happened
to us recently I have another business
with a partner we sell glasses
sunglasses designer sunglasses online
and you know things weren't going so
well really
it was tough it was looking really tough
we had many obstacles sales were not
happening as soon as he wanted to the
investment was very high it was tough I
gotta be honest I remembered that there
was a book that I once read called the
art of the deal by Donald Trump and it's
discussing Donald sitting in his
boardroom with all of his lawyers and
his accountants at one o'clock in the
morning and he's on the verge of
bankruptcy they owe 900 million dollars
to the government to the bank sorry and
he had no way of paying it and at one
point he walks out of the room he
collects himself and he comes back into
the room and he starts talking about all
these big projects that he wants to
build he wants to build this skyscraper
and that skyscraper and he wants to make
this building the tallest building in
the world and all these big giant
projects casinos all kinds of crazy
things and his accountants and his
lawyers look at him like okay the guy
has finally lost it and at that moment
he said that moment is when I turned
around the company because I brought
life back in the company I gave the
people around me hope to believe that
tomorrow might actually be a better day
and this is what we did together My
partner and I sat down and we said okay
this is not working but let's figure out
how to make it work we tried for this
target let's figure out another target
let's figure out how to make this thing
better what opportunities are there
what other angles are there and we did
that and today thank god we're moving
we're moving forward and the point is is
that there's no there's no there's no
future in problems problems are there
they'll always be there you got to bring
fresh air into the situation you don't
use one lung of air the entire day use
many breaths in a day every single day
every single business venture has to be
fed with new ideas fresh even if things
aren't going well it's not an excuse not
to bizdev business development the
opposite is true
