True confessions . . .

Real world business owner sound bites . . . Can you identify with any of them?

[  ]  I'm frustrated with my sales people's attitudes.
[  ]  It seems like I just keep working longer hours.
[  ]  "Aruba, Bahamas, Jamaica, Cozumel . . ." I wish I could get away.
[  ]  Customers are taking longer and longer to pay. Don't they know I have bills to pay, too?
[  ]  Life used to be so carefree. What happened?
[  ]  I'm really blessed. I just don't know what to do now.
[  ]  Business seems to have plateaued and I'm not sure what to do.
[  ]  My favorite day of the work week is Friday. My least favorite day is Monday.
[  ]  I like my job. I just can't say that I'm excited about it.
[  ]  Why do consultants always think there's something to be fixed? Maybe I'm o.k. with the way things are.
[  ]  My anxiety always increases at the end of the month.
[  ]  If I just hang on a little longer the economy will turn around and I'll be o.k.
[  ]  I just spent thousands of dollars on an "expert's advice." Look what I have to show for it!
[  ]  Vision? Who has time for vision?
[  ]  "Show me the money!"
[  ]  I've thought about selling everything and running away to sell t-shirts on the beach.
[  ]  Business is great. We're growing so fast I can't keep up. (But it does make me a little nervous.)
[  ]  I don't have anyone to talk to about these things.
[  ]  I feel like I am always having to mop up other people's messes.
[  ]  Work ethic? Why can't people come to work and do their job without me having to hold their hand?
[  ]  Why should I trust anyone?
[  ]  I have lots of good achievements I'd like to talk about.
[  ]  I've got everything I need. In fact, I'd rather be at the office making money than at home.
[  ]  I've got all the motivational-sales-management books and CDs. They all say the same things. Just between you and me, I think I'm still missing something.
[  ]  My friends tell me I need to relax.
[  ]  I've seriously thought about doing something different. I just don't know what.
[  ]  You wouldn't believe how much money I've lost over the past two years. It's really caused me to ask myself some serious questions about the future.
