I know it’s that time of year for presents, cookies, and just about anything besides reading business humbug stuff. Right? But someone asked me to share a story I share a few years ago. It was about this crazy little guy who showed up at my door a couple of nights before Christmas.
He was only about 4 feet tall. And he had weird ears and bells on his shoes. And when I opened the door, he immediately started rambling off something about business ideas for the new year.
(See? Like I said, business humbug!)
But hear me out. Or, I should say, “Read on!”
Being a business coach I had been thinking about business ideas for the new year, too. And I can come up with some wild and crazy stuff. But seeing a little guy in red was weird, even for me.
So, I asked the little guy who he was. And get this. He said he was a messenger from Santa! Yeah, right. Even though the little guy could see my skepticism, that didn’t stop him from sharing his story.
Apparently, Santa’s not as quick as he used to be. And he’s worried about keeping up with everybody now. He told his assistant how it bothers him that everyone has smartphones. I guess he’s always been able to keep everybody’s Christmas wishes in his head. But now everybody’s so spread out, on social media, and making lists of their own.
So, Santa’s feeling the numbers crunch of just keeping up with all that extra digital data. The little guy at my door said there needs to be more elves. But Santa doesn’t have an efficient way of bringing more on board. And the work is really stacked up. Hmm, maybe even Santa’s feeling some business humbug.
Anyway, the little guy said Santa wanted my advice.
Can you believe that? He wanted me to give him some business management tips he could take back to Santa. And he hoped it would help them have a successful trip this Christmas, too. I hated to tell him how I doubt they could change things that fast. But who am I to say Santa couldn’t get ‘er done?
Of course, being the system savant I am, I did more than tell the little guy some tips he could pass on to Santa. I gave him a copy of my business building book.
And I told him, If he needs more advice and help, he should book a call with me. Wouldn’t that be something? Instead of me whispering in Santa’s ear what I want for Christmas, he’d be talking to me to find out how to automate and delegate more of his workload. How cool would that be?
I also mentioned to the little guy how my business coach CRM system has already done all the “heavy lifting” for him. So, it’s a fanSantatastic way for him to build his Christmas delivery business much better and faster.
It’s like this. If he plans his work and works his plan (the way my system will help him do), he won’t have to lay off 50% of the elves! Because there’ll more work than ever since the business will be running smooth as figgy pudding.
Anyway, that’s what I shared with the little guy.
And I won’t know until sometime on Christmas, or maybe around New Year’s Eve, if Santa was able to get more done in less time this year. Hopefully he’ll pay attention, read the book, implement the strategies, and you’ll find your presents under the tree.
Or maybe you’re reading this after Christmas and it’s already happened. If so, way to go Santa!
