Business coach and owner of the Summit Effect James Bennett advises those in leadership roles to carefully consider how they consume their news lest they justify their failures because of the struggling economy.

Toronto, ON — Dec 11, 2014 — FocalPoint coach and Summit Effect owner James Bennett published a new article entitled “Why Business Leaders Shouldn’t Watch the News.” In the article, Bennett warns leaders against passively reading or watching negative news and suggests several methods of finding a more balanced approach for consuming current events.

Bennett says, “When you accept bad news as true, it justifies our failures. Oftentimes, finance news portrays a world where businesses are doomed, job-seekers are out of luck, and entrepreneurs are the new unemployed. How are we supposed to set our sights to success if we accept this as the whole picture?”

James Bennett, business mentor and leader of the Summit Effect, helps entrepreneurs define and implement the brilliant distinctions that allow them to develop better processes, offer superior services, and expand their customer base so they can generate more revenue and have more fun.
