This is a phrase I use a lot in our office. This month was just crazy with life coming at me and it was almost overwhelming. I know ALL OF US have had moments where the day, week, or month gets crazy and you feel that sense of being overwhelmed. Here is what I do when I start getting that panic feeling in my gut because there is too much on my plate….
Step away-if it is just to walk around the building, and remind yourself how you eat an elephant. You eat an elephant one bite at a time. That’s the secret. Then go back in, and do the next thing. When it is done, do the next. And so on. What is happening is your mind is looking at all of these things at once and you are feeling overwhelmed. So stop, take a step back, forget the entire pile, and do the next thing. At least once every week there is a point in the day where the call volume, to-do’s, and tasks get overwhelming and I have to practice this technique. I will walk around the building, or go to the bathroom, take a deep breath, and ask myself how I eat an elephant. I answer one bite at a time, go back in, and just do the next thing without worrying about it all. And amazingly, almost EVERY time, I get it all done. Don’t get overwhelmed, step back, and just focus on the next thing.
Have a blessed week and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

P.S.- SBA and Private Money continue to be the hot two loan products we are seeing business purchases. People are buying businesses. The market is robust for this. that is a positive sign for the economy. Yes, our politics are a mess right now…but our capitalistic economic structure still allows ANYONE, who wants to work hard, to make it. That is not true in socialist countries like France. I had some great discussions about this with the French people as I was hanging out in Café’s in Paris last week. They do NOT envy our politics, but they DO envy our economy. It is still the best in the world. WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS….SEND ME THOSE LOANS. We are the place to go when the banks say no.
