Figure Out How to Make It Work

This was from a weekly email from my friend Gary Johnston:

What matters more....

 

One of the questions that is top of mind for everyone is “Where is the economy headed this year?”  I believe it is important to study the economy and think through were things are headed so you can prepare for the future.  I read several publications to stay abreast of the US and world economies.  However, it is important to be very careful that you don’t let the doom and gloom impact your thoughts too much.

 

My Dad had only been in business a little over a year before a big recession hit.  He had started the business with very little down and a big loan.  He worked hard 7 days a week to make the business work.  He could have used the news of the recession to give up and let the business fail.  Instead, he got up every morning and figured out how to make it work.  He didn’t let the news of the recession stop him.  His focus was to figure out a way to keep the business going and succeed.  He made it though with flying colors.

 

What matters more - where the economy is headed or where you are headed?  Turn off CNBC and set the Wall Street Journal aside and go figure out how to make it work!

 

 That’s my Monday Thoughts.
