Do You Overcome Obstacles or Let Them Stop You?
A quick post because I am writing this from the incredibly beautiful Atlantis resort at Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Rosemary and I are spending our belated honeymoon here, and it is as close to heaven as I have been!
But it didn’t start out that way. Rosemary and I booked a cheaper package online at another ‘resort’, all inclusive and seemingly a much better deal than Atlantis.
I put ‘resort’ in quotation marks because it was a PIT. I mean, words cannot describe it.
Let’s just say their picturesque beach property was nothing more than a bunch of sand dumped on the shore of a small lagoon separated by railroad ties or some such thing…. about the size of a small bedroom. Unbelievable!
And the place was dirty, furniture ripped, fixtures coming off the walls…. you get the picture.
So we called Travelocity who first said they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) help us. Arranged to have a supervisor call us back.
Never did.
Kept trying Travelocity and getting different answers each time.
We wouldn’t be denied.
Finally, we took matters in our own hands. We checked out of the ‘resort’ after 2 hours and booked a beautiful room at the Atlantis.
Now THIS is a honeymoon.
And I just called Travelocity and let them know that I expect a refund of 3 nights to my Visa card immediately, or I will challenge the payment on my credit card.
Boy, did I feel empowered.
The point of all this?
OBSTACLES. OBSTACLES. OBSTACLES.
You’ll always be faced with them. It’s what you do about them that makes all the difference, in your personal life and in business.
Don’t allow obstacles to stop you.
It’s the people who continually overcome obstacles that make it big in life — personally, spiritually, and yes, financially.
I’ll let you know how the trip comes out.
Til next time,
Bob
