FIND YOUR SHARK TO FIND YOUR WEALTH! by Garth Gibson
It is well known that the Japanese love of fish is
almost as strong as a bee's attraction to honey. Some
would say it is insatiable.
But long ago fishing companies had a big challenge.
Fish populations were dwindling. This forced
companies to fish further and further away from shore.
But then fishing companies had a new challenge.
How to keep the fish fresh for longer and longer
periods of time.
They finally decided to keep the fish stored in
freezers that would be installed on the boats.
But the Japanese public did not like frozen fish.
So again the fishing companies had big challenge.
What they decided was to install fish tanks on their
boats.
They would catch the fish put them in the tanks and
let them live there until they got back to shore. But
in this protected environment lacking of predators the
fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt
these dull slow moving fish did not taste fresh. They
stopped buying fish.
Once again the fishing companies had a big challenge.
STOP FOR A MINUTE! Before you go any further I would
like to ask you...
What are your challenges?
How do you handle an unexpected challenge?
You know I have an 8 month old boy. Right now his
challenge is to learn how to walk. So far he meets
this challenge with a big smile on his face. I can
only assume he is happy, energized and excited
with his new challenge.
I think it is true that the more you enjoy a good
problem the more you feel competent and confident
about your own skills.
Try to attack your challenges. Conquer them. Not with
a hammer but a Swiss Army knife. You know the one that
has what seems like a 1,000 different tools. Don't get
stuck with just a hammer. Find the elegant simple
tool that you can adapt to your situation.
Now back to your story.
How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish
problem?
Sharks!
I know I thought the same thing too. Sharks EAT fish.
Well that's true they did eat a few. But they also
kept the fish active and alert since there was
a predator lurking nearby.
Translation...
The fish stayed fresh because they were challenged.
Why don't you stay fresh. Find your own shark to make
waves in your own business and personal life.
