Andrew Reynolds Cash On Demand Bootcamp talk about the recent postal strike
To kick off his talk about negative media and worrying about possible problems when staring a business – Andrew Reynolds brought on stage some emails from his students.
One subscriber to Andrew Reynolds Cash On Demand course had written asking what he should do regarding the recent strike action by workers at the Royal Mail. He asked if this would stop him from succeeding in business –since one of the techniques Andrew Reynolds Cash On Demand course teaches is Direct Mail.
Andrew Reynolds commented that it was almost as though some students were looking for en excuse NOT to succeed.
He pointed at that there were a reported 20Million letters currently held up in the Royal Mail as a direct result of the strike action. But Andrew Reynolds then went on to say that when he needed to send all of the tickets to the 8,000 attendees of this Bootcamp event – knowing that there were 20 Million letters in a backlog – of course he was concerned that the tickets might not arrive on time.
But rather than give up or cancel the event – Andrew simply contacted an alternative supplier of delivery services and asked then to quote a price for delivering the 8,000 tickets.
Fedex said they could do the job for around £20,000 – and that was that! Job done!
Andrew Reynolds showed examples of postal strikes and similar actions taken by the postal workers in all of the years since had had started his little business in his spare room He pointed out that if he has stopped when the first strike was announced – he may not have pulled in the £50million he had achieved.
This was just an example of how people look for excuses as to why they cannot make themselves a success in business. Forget the excuses – focus on overcoming any hurdle that presents itself.
