The Ice Cream Cone of Success
July is National Ice Cream Month. President Ronald Reagan made it an official observance in 1984, noting that 90% of people enjoy this fun and nutritious snack.
Let’s use ice cream as a metaphor for your life or business. Remember to think in the context of ice cream! Do these sound familiar?
1-You melt as soon as it gets too hot.
2-You see yourself as someone who easily gets licked!
3-You wait to get picked by someone else and find yourself competing with the other flavors. You may be sweet, but others are sweeter, better, more colorful, nuttier, more appealing, on and on.
4-You’re always in a container; surrounded by barriers.
5- When things get untidy, someone else has to clean up the mess.
6-You often feel like you are getting “eaten alive!”
7- You are secretly dying to be the famed “Flavor of the Month.”
You may want to use the month of August to assess your results and determine if it’s time to make a change.
Success is not about melting, being contained and being envious of the other flavors. It’s about running your own race.
