Many of us see people around us that we know and don't know who get good fortune in life and business. We sometimes wonder, "Why not me?" Things happen in this world for reasons we don't know and may never find out while we're here. But if you are optimistic and keep your focus on moving forward toward your goals you could be closer than you think to what you really want. But if you stop and give up you will never get there and reap the rewards you worked so hard to achieve. There's an old saying, "that it's always darkest before the dawn." That big break could be closer than you think.
This goes for your business when times get tough and you feel like giving up. I have had this feeling many times in my career and fought it off. Many times I was close to a big profitable order, a windfall of business or a new opportunity. If I gave up and threw in the towel in when things were not doing well I would never have experienced that coming good fortune. Hard work and smart decisions always pay off but sometimes not as soon as you expect them. I always said that if you can keep your business open more day and another day you still have a chance of being successful. Many baseball teams have won the game when behind in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 outs and you can too!
