Mauro Libi: Survive in times of crisis

Friends and customers always ask me what to do to overcome a crisis and prevent their business from failing. I always answer the same thing: A positive attitude and the willingness to change, those are the keys to overcoming any difficulties.

We must placate the nerves that generates uncertainty. You remember that when calm is maintained, then your buisness intuition is acute and will  usually go better than when you are carried away by confusion, fear and disorder.

Something we have to work on is to control the fear of uncertainty. Fear is negative and makes everything look gray. Fear paralyzes the brain and does not allow us to make good decisions. It is said that a little scare from time to time allows us to be cautious when performing risky business but persistent fear will lead us to an area where we have little chance of winning. So my best advice is to depart from fear and safely follow the path we defined at the beginning of our goals. A little caution is good, but if you are afraid to take any risks then you can not progress.

You have to be positive, sure of yourself, you must be in a position to achieve the goals and this is achieved through positive thinking and attitude of winning.

When you feel winning goals are achieved. Avoid stress at all costs, chat with friends, laugh, fully enjoy  every minute of your life. When this occurs, internal optimism that helps to overcome the crisis is generated.

Do not take the bad experiences that happen to you as divine punishment but as learning, every mistake is an opportunity to learn to do things better.



So I insist that you must learn from your mistakes because they certainly are your great teacher. Thomas Edison, the great inventor was not successful the first time he tried to create a new invention. He had many failures. He claimed that he had hundreds of failures till he was successful with an invention. He used to say, that he never had a failure, he just founds hundreds of ways that his invention did not work. He saw his failures, not as a failure but as a step toward his ultimate goal. Positive thinking allowed him to create so many great inventions.

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car.  Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car.  I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance  department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me.  I have a married friend  who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he w

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects.  Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing.
