Darkest before the dawn

11th April 2013

It’s been an interesting but very frustrating month for me in March. Things have been really looking up, with business growing and that of my clients also really looking much brighter right up to the end of February. But suddenly with the horrible weather, everything seems to have slowed down again. I mentioned this to a friend who works in the city, and he said that what I was seeing was very much a reflection of the wider picture. Just when everything was starting to look good again, the brakes have been re-applied.

Being someone who always looks for the positive in everything, even I found it hard to handle yet another knock back. However, I still believe a sustained recovery is just around the corner, and I reminded myself that the darkest hour is always just before dawn, and maybe we are finally at that point.

So for those of you who are wondering if things are ever going to get better, now is the time to take heart. Keep doing as many of the right things as you can within your business, and as I have said recently refocus on your end goals because then you can keep being positive about what you are doing on a day to day basis.

No doubt all of us feel like “throwing in the towel” from time to time, but giving up should never be an option. There is always something else you can do, always another way forward or another option. If you are having trouble believing this, then find someone else to motivate you and keep driving you on.

That is what I do. So if you want a positive word or a friendly face to keep you going till “dawn,” why not get in touch.
