Re-evaluating Strategy

The road to success
is covered with potholes
and speed bumps.

It is tempting when we hit a pothole,
to swerve off that road
and try another,
only to find the new road is as bumpy.

It isn’t a good idea to revisit strategy
when we’re hitting a pothole
or undergoing disappointment.
We aren’t thinking rationally.
We’re thinking with our emotions.

Wait a week or two or three.
Better yet,
plan a date for re-evaluating strategy
at the beginning of the journey.

Stick to the same road
until that designated time.

(This post is written more for me,
than for you,
as I face more frustration
over a slower than expected
sales build)
