Being Relentless: It Is Not the Critic Who Counts

I read the following in a magazine recently. I believe it is the words of Roosevelt.

IT IS NOT THE CRITIC WHO COUNTS:
Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again.....who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.

The relocation industry and the people performing services within it receive their fair share of criticism. When we get it right; it is a great industry to be in and the rewards in terms of "thank yous" from our clients really makes our work worthwhile. If you don't get off on receiving those "thank yous", you probably don't belong in our industry, but even for the best service providers in the world there is always the down side; the criticism of not doing enough, not understanding enough, being too pushy, not being pushy enough, not reading the situation, reading too much into the situation, being expected to control the impossible.....etc., etc. For those with experience in the industry, you know what I am talking about. It is at times like these, that you need to read the above words.

In the end, if you hold your on policy, you own wish to help people in this industry, the criticism does not matter..... but only if you don't give up.

Let's not give up in 2010! Lets make more happy clients and receive more thank yous in the best way we can.

Thank you to everyone that I have worked with in 2009! I am only as good as the people around me, and you are all fantastic.

Obama and Hatoyama- When will they create jobs?

I have been observing Obama and Hatoyama closely over the last months, and I must admit I am pretty disappointed with what I see. Obama makes a great speech, Hatoyama indicates that the new government will finally do things differently........ but what has actually happened?

Both leaders have been either bailing out companies using billions of tax payers money or throwing money around claiming that "stimulus packages" are going to boost our economies.....

One of the only ways to improve both the US and Japan economies is to create jobs. Bailing out companies saves jobs, it doesn't make them. Throwing money around allows people to spend it; ONCE; this does not create new industries, new companies and growth. Yes, due to an increase in demand for items, there maybe a short-term increase in demand for jobs, but lets face it, it is not a long-term economic strategy.

Japan and the US need to create jobs. Making flowery speeches about reducing CO2 emissions is important, but company owners, executives and entrepreneurs are waiting in their respective countries for their governments to support small, medium and large businesses to grow and create jobs.

These are uncertain times. Business leaders want to get ahead in this downturn, but the risks are unknown and confidence is low. Why can Hatoyama and Obama not see that offering packages that reduce risk and create confidence is what our countries need? There are people everywhere with new ideas, creative beliefs about new markets, and competitive models that could revolutionize industries. All they need to do is support what is out there......

For example,

- Tax breaks for new companies / projects
- Incentive programs for taking on new employees
- Incentive programs for certain industries or new markets

Private industry creates jobs and healthy economies, not governments. Can these guys not see that their beautiful speeches and social support policies will never grow economies? These policies are gong to bankrput Japan. Japan's debt is getting close to 200% of its GDP. Pull it together Hatoyama, you need companies to grow so you can pay the debt off. Start supporting what made Japan what it is; small and medium sized companies.
