Life is like a "Roller Coaster Ride" and so is your business! So "Welcome To The Real World".
Life is all about living and living is all about facing daily challenges, obstacles, hurdles and the general journey and adventure of mystery, enjoyment, surprise and daily structure that makes our life worth living.
Just as a mountain climber who has reached one peak must go down into the valley to climb to another peak, your life will be the same.
Your life and career will be a series of ups and downs.
As they say, life is two steps forward and one step back.
Sometimes bad things happen to good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people.
So yes life and the road to success is an exciting journey of ups and downs! Our business life is exactly the same.
Business life is made up of cycles and trends.
There are up cycles and down cycles.
There are trends in business that can often lead to a complete change in the industry.
We see this today with the Internet and the expansion of technology in all directions changing many of our fixed ideas and beliefs about the way business is done.
The music industry is a typical example of change.
The dramatic changes from vinyl records to today's ease of downloads to mp3 players etc etc, is nothing short of amazing.
The same as the mining industry, going from the "gold rush" days of wagons, picks and shovels to today's huge machinery and technological plant equipment, who would have envisioned it? So over the years we have all learned to embrace change and accept that business does indeed go in trends.
A business that is booming today may be obsolete within a few short years.
We are conditioned to the fact that the Stock Market goes in trends.
So now we understand about peaks and the troughs in business.
Today we are lucky in our entrepreneurial business life, as with all of this wonderful information and technology at our fingertips the Internet has opened a plethora of business opportunities to everyday Moms and Dads.
We now have the opportunity to learn the 'Skill Set' to market anything to anyone, anytime, anywhere in the world.
And yes, just like the mountain climber in our business and in our life we will have to learn how to climb the mountain by maneuvering the peaks and valleys.
However, just like the successful experienced mountain climber will tell you, "I climbed it because it was there, I climbed it because I could, there is plenty of room at the top and the view is spectacular" As with your life journey, your business journey will be equally as exhilarating, so, it is a priority to build for success.
Develop long time perspective.
Take the long view in everything you do.
Plan two, three, four, and five years into the future and don't allow yourself to get onto an emotional roller coaster with the short-term ups and downs of daily life.
Keep reminding yourself that everything in life goes in cycles and trends! Peaks and Troughs! Ups and Downs! Be calm, confident, and relaxed with short-term fluctuations in your fortune.
If you've got clear goals and plans that you're working on every day, the general trend line of your life will tend to be onward and upward over the years.
