What a Difference a Day Makes

Let's face it, in the entrepreneurial experience, there are plenty of bad days to go around. In fact, sometimes it seems as if nothing can go right. Often, the discouraging things occur little by little and accumulate slowly over time, though occasionally building to a seemingly intolerable level.

This is where persistence and a positive outlook come in handy.

The good news is that things can turn around and the turnaround is often abrubt. It could be a beta trial that goes well and clears the path to commercialization, a key strategic partner that finally signs that contract, the large purchase order that comes in after months of delay, or a vendor who finally gets that nagging quality problem corrected. These positive developments are often the opening of a floodgate... a floodgate to your future.

Keep this in mind as you face discouragement. One day can make a big difference. I have seen it happen many times!
