Get Out Of The Cheap Seats

comments from the cheap seats

There was an announcement recently about a local business that was closing its doors.  I was saddened for the owners and the employees, and then I was fascinated by the response I saw from the cheap seats on social media.  Though there were certainly responses that expressed their sadness for the company, there were just as many that took the time to take shots at the business and the owners.  The comments were all over the place in nature, but I did notice one thing in common.

None of these “shots” came from other business owners or leaders.

Have you ever noticed that?  You rarely see negative comments from someone who has walked the walk.  These “coulda, woulda, shoulda” observations nearly always come from the cheap seats.  It’s easy to hurl insults when you don’t have to actually put in the work.  That’s why, as Teddy Roosevelt says, “It’s Not The Critic That Counts.”

The same is true for other areas too.

You rarely see a One Star Book Review from another author.

The person that creates content almost never posts mean comments on the new video creator.

A person who has worked hard to get in shape hardly ever fat-shames the person working out.

These people don’t spew venom at the person putting in the work because they know how hard it can be.  Sure, everyone has 20/20 vision from the past.  Everyone has an opinion on what needs to be done, or what you should have done.  But most people are unwilling to do it.  That’s not my opinion.  It’s just math.  The work is not done by the majority.  It’s done by those willing to raise their hand.

So if you are one of those people that is putting in the work, take heed.  You are appreciated.  And, like that local business, you might stumble.  As a matter of fact, stumbles are inevitable.  But the future is made by those that take the step, grab the bull and put in the work.  So good luck.

And if you are one of these people that find yourself yelling from the stands, this is your invitation.  Pick a project.  Take a step.  Do the work.  You will have way more impact than by just being another voice in the crowd.

Just One More

When I was younger, and I thought tennis was my entire life, I played with the mantra of “just one more.”  I was not the strongest or fastest or most skilled player.  But I thought if I could get “just one more” ball back over the net, good things would happen. 

It turned out I was right. 

When I was able to get that “just one more” ball back into play, often the opponent would be surprised or annoyed (or whatever) and miss their next shot. 

I won a lot of points on “just one more.”

Now, it turns out, this is a great mantra to reach success in other areas of your life too.  You can get a lot done by implementing “just one more.”

Just one more sales call.

Just one more run through.

Just one more phone call.

Just one more blog post.

Just one more video.

Just one more thank you note.

Just one more mile.

Just one more hug.

Just one more minute with an employee that needs you.

Just one more word of encouragement.

So when you are tired, frustrated, impatient and at your wit’s end.  Do “just one more.”

Then do that again.  

I wrote this blog post several years ago and I wanted to share it again.  I was listening to a podcast from Ed Mylett recently and he talked about having a similar mantra.  You can check out his motivational take on doing “just one more” here.  Either way, it goes to show you that sometimes the “secrets” to success are not that complicated.  Most of the time they are simple…but not easy.  Today, let’s set out to do “just one more” and make this a great week!

This week Kirby and Amy talk Tariffs.  While this may not seem like a fun topic (it’s not) it is important.  They talk about how the Tariffs will affect your marketing budget and how to work around them.  We even reference this post about 5 cool promotional products that are Made in the USA.  

Weekly Whirlwind

This week in the Weekly Whirlwind, Amy talks about graduation season and trying to finish up with the Ohio Historic Tax Credit project.  Kirby takes the time to realize how important each member of the Hasseman Marketing team is.  When people take time off, it changes the dynamic of the office.

Question From The Audience

This week Kirby and Amy answer this question:  “If you could go back and give yourself advice as a wedding present, what advice would you give?”  It gets a little deep!  You just have to listen for yourself.

Lesson In Life

The goal of the lesson in life is just to provide a bit more value on the podcast.  The message this week is simple…don’t wait.  Don’t wait for permission.   Don’t wait for the perfect time.  If you have a goal, go after it.

Shout Outs

Each week we want to give a shout out to an organization or an individual doing good work.  This week Kirby gives his shout out to the Coshocton County Beacon.  This weekly newspaper does a great job of highlighting the good that is going on in the community.  It’s refreshing.  Amy talks about the Coshocton and River View Baccalaureate ceremony this past weekend.  It was a great event with multiple organizations working together.  Also the speaker, Todd Gongwer (author of Lead…For God’s Sake) was terrific!
