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.
