Supreme Court give you FUD'S?

Man-o-man, did my twitter feeds, Facebook and email explode lately! Shortly after the Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare), the flood gates were opened. According to the comments, the Supreme Court is either awesome or awful. Today they made either the best decision or the worst decision in the history of decision making. (Ok, I have large diverse group of friends and followers). There were no middle of the road comments; they were heavily weighted to one side or the other. Everyone will be saved or the world is coming to an end. I suspect that many of you probably experienced similar situations.

So how much time did you spend listening, watching and having conversations about the Supreme Court’s decision today? How much time do you think your employees spent discussing the same issue? Whether you agree or disagree with the decision, not much is going to change immediately. Matter of fact, it will probably be 2014 or later before you see any impact from it. A lot can change between now and then. This is what I refer to as FUD’S; or Fears, Uncertainties, Doubts and Suspicions. You get distracted and lose focus on your business and spend time worrying about what “could” happen in the future. Don't let your fears and emotions get the best of you. Stay focused and stay in touch with your customers. They may be experiencing their own set of FUD’s at this time as well. If they see you paying attention to them and their needs and not sweating the things that you can’t control at this point, they may be more relaxed and less stressed about it.

Spend the next 30 days focusing on what you do best! Spend time planning, setting new goals and focusing on what is important for you and your business. If you do just that, at the end of these 30 days, you will be so impressed with what you accomplished, your FUD’s will have an entirely different look about them.

Don't dwell on the Supreme Court decision; focus on your mental state. You can't control their decision, you can control your mindset!
