Colonel Bob's Newsletter:Obstacles, How (Not) to Deal with Them


COLONEL BOB'S NEWSLETTER
Issue: August 15, 2012
Ten Ways to (Not) Deal with Obstacles

This newsletter is in memory of my friend, Mike Suter who passed away on August 14, 2012. We were at a networking function back in 2003 or 2004 and decided to found our own Business Network International Chapter titled Oceanside. Mike was the first president of the chapter and we have  been friends ever since. Mike and his wife Lucy attended my wedding with Grit. Mike always had a sense of humor, was full of energy and always was kind and friendly to everyone he came in contact with. Mike, rest in peace. I have prayed that your soul be accepted by the Creator. You will be missed. I know we talked about you, Dan and I getting together for lunch sometime. Dan and I will get together in fond memory of you, Mike.

HOW NOT TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES
I am in the process of revising a presentation I will be giving in Phoenix, Arizona in October. The topic is titled Ten Ways to Overcome Obstacles and Catch Your Second Wind. I found a "parallel universe" to this topic and it is called How (not) to Overcome Obstacles. I offer ten of them though there are more. Here they are:  How Not to Overcome Obstacles.

How (not) to Overcome Obstacles in Life:
1. Walk Away.
2. Ignore It.
3. Have Someone Else Do It.
4. Hit the Easy Button.
5. Be a Victim.
6. Fall Down and Don't Get Back Up.
7. Cry.
8. Curse.
9. Whine.
10. Complain.
