I hope someone at a car manufacturer is more than just watching the Apple launch of the new “Ipad.”

It’s the execution of a pure old-fashioned product launch, which is exactly what we need a car manufacturer to step up and do. Create a product that is exciting and people can’t wait to see it, then keep it a secret but leak just enough to create hype so that millions of people are waiting for the unveiling.

7 Reason You Can Be Successful in 2009

1. Face the facts. What happens in your business STILL has much more to do with how you think, who you surround yourself with, who you connect with, and what you do than what is happening on Wall Street or FOX News.

2. Since it’s hard to tell in this market where to invest your time and money. Invest it in yourself. I personally will spend more time in 2009 on personal training, mastermind groups, and business consulting.

3. Don’t sit and wait for things to return to the way they were. An entirely new economy is starting, presenting new opportunities, challenges, and requiring new strategies.

4. The slow and under prepared might go away. Learn to execute faster, and embrace complexity in this new market. Speed and momentum are still one of the hardest things to compete with. If you are faster to react, with better systems and strategies, you will not only win, you will pick up the market share when others fall by the way side…

2009 already has the makings of a "Dogs Year"
