What’s the deal?
The economy is tough right now. It isn’t going to get any better in the not-too-distant future, and neither will your startup. So even if you feel like you have everything under control — and here we’ll say we mean you and your business — it’s probably a good thing that you’re not alone in this struggle. Because as much as everyone else seems to be struggling, they are also making the effort to improve their lot. And that means giving up on the old ways of life and taking up a new one. It’s always been easy for those who are used to getting things their way, but for many of us it’s an endless cycle of never-ending struggle.
Focus and Plan: These are your Troves
What are your Troves? You never know until you try. So focus on the here and now, the here and now alone. You will notice a difference in your business within a few months. You may never change your ways, but you will be better for it.
Self-discipline: On a Aside
If you want to be a winner, you have to put in the work. You must put in the hours and sweat the small stuff. It’s that simple. If you’re doing well enough to succeed at work, you should also be taking care of yourself. There are plenty of things you can do to make yourself healthier, and there are plenty of things you can do to make your business more successful. But the most important thing you can do is own up to your shortcomings and focus on your strengths. Success isn’t a game, it’s an endeavor that takes work and determination.
