Know Well the Enemy
Published on August 20, 2014
There is no straight path to any destination, be it victory or failure. The path we all travel is a winding one full of pitfalls and surprises. Rewards and heartbreak. Along this journey we may encounter dips in the market. Clients who change their mind mind-stream for no good reason. New competition or missed opportunity. There is nothing more challenging that we face however than that voice in our head that is constantly challenging all of our hopes and goals and dreams. I had a great conversation with a client and friend late today about how well his year had gone. In truth I guess he surprised himself and was honest in his reflection over the year. He said, "You know, I have to tell you, when we sat down at the beginning of last year and set the targets we did I don't think there was any part of me that really believed it". Amazing how negative that little troll that lives inside of our head can be. Here is what he did however. He kept going. Even in the face of crushing doubt he
kept going and doing. Going and doing. Going and doing and when all was said and done the results surpassed what at the beginning of the year seemed so far off in the distance and out of reach. Here is what all of this means I guess. If you keep going and doing you get to find out the little troll is wrong. Important point this. Know well the enemy. Have an excellent day.
