I woke up this morning and had an “I can do anything” kind of start to the day, everything went to plan (except my 2 year old smearing yoghurt all over the sofa), buy you can cope with that…
I had two meetings booked for the day. First meeting does not go as planned and we achieve next to zilch, second meeting – gets cancelled twenty minutes after it is due to start, followd by a phone call of we need to hold fire… OK so not a great start.
So now I am feeling a bit “for F**Ks sake what the point?” then I got thinking about that statement – what is the point? Why did I start this business 5 years ago?
I came to the conclusion that I started it because I wanted the challenge, I wanted something of my own, I did not want to work for a boss and I wanted to help small and medium sized businesses to thrive. Well I have a challenge, I am my own boss, its my own company and I do help small and medium sized businesses every day. I have to remind myself that I started with just me and now there are 5 of us. Its not bad.
I have to realise that it is pointless in dwelling on clients who don’t want to focus on their businesses on one particular day because there are plenty who do, some days my clients have bad days too.
I have come to the realisation that
1. I am good at what I do
2. I do not run a charity
3. If I want more business I have to go and find it
4. If I want to succeed I have to work at it
5. Nothing comes on a gold platter
6. Other peoples situations should not affect mine so personally
Does this sound familiar to you?
I wrote this to say to those of you who are having a crap day – that crap days happen, tomorrow is a new day and it’s all about how you look at the situation, if it looks like it is a big black hole – then it will be, if you laugh at it and shrug yor shoulders and get on with it – then it will not affect you.
Hope you all have shrugable or enjoyable or awesome day – don’t let the gloom and doom consume.
Angie
