Today has been a 'down' day.
Why...because something I tried didn't work - and cost me a few hundred dollars in the process!
It almost ruined my day...but I am fighting the urge to let it.
It's easy to get hung up on things like this - and it seems to get more and more difficult to pull yourself up when you feel 'down and out'.
But...guess what?
I'm NOT down...and I'm certainly NOT out!
I may have lost money today - but I made enough money last week to cover it - and - I can still get some other benefit from it. So - all may not be as bleak as it at first seems!
It would have been easy to admit 'defeat' and rue the day that I ever started this business - but I WON'T!
I won't because I know that life isn't about a smooth upward curve. Every setback is a clue to a future benefit - mark my words!
As the actor Michael Caine said in a recent interview - "How can I use the difficulty to my advantage?"
So - the next time you look as if you are 'snatching defeat from the jaws of victory' - think again. You could, in effect, be building a nice new foundation for your future success from the experience!
