Keep Moving Forward
Entrepreneurs and leaders go through many phases. One of the “jokes” we’ve shared before is that you can be as high as high and as low as low in the same moment. It’s like a roller coaster.
As an example, you might think you made a breakthrough in your business or in your leadership, then as you think it through you realize one big bad thing happened because if it.
What we learn from situations like this is that you will have ups and downs and the key is to keep going. It is good to take some time to observe and reflect, but don’t stop moving your ideas forward.
Occasionally, you might have to navigate through other obstacles or down roads you might not have known or are forced to discover.
Don’t stop moving forward.
A book many entrepreneurs and leaders recommend is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Steven Covey shares great insights on how to reframe or relook at what you do to continue your self growth.
There are many other resources, of course, such as TEDtalks. We are interested in hearing what you’ve been doing to keep going and not stopping on your way to where you want to be.
BEFORE YOU GO
We see our blogs as opportunities for dialogue. Please share your thoughts as comments.
What do you do to keep going, not letting speed bumps stop you?
What methodologies have you used to keep your ideas moving or flowing?
What do you do to surround yourself with people that encourage you rather than trying to stop you?
