the peaks and troughs of business
you know, i’ve been thinking a lot about how business can feel like this wild rollercoaster ride. there are these incredible highs when everything just clicks, and you feel like you’re on top of the world. but then, almost out of nowhere, the lows hit, and it’s like the rug gets pulled out from under you. i’ve learned that while the peaks are amazing, you’ve got to be careful not to get swept up in them too much. because the higher you let yourself go, the harder those inevitable lows can hit. so, what i’ve been trying to do is keep myself steady, no matter what’s happening with the business. when things are going great, i remind myself to stay grounded, not to let the success go to my head. and when things aren’t going so well, i try to keep that same calm, knowing that this is just a moment, and it too will pass. it’s like finding this balance where you’re not swayed too much by the external highs or lows. staying at a steady medium within yourself, no matter what the business is doing, has been key for me. it’s helped me keep my head on straight and not lose sight of what really matters. at the end of the day, it’s about staying true to your own energy, not letting the outside world dictate how you feel inside. that’s how you keep moving forward, no matter what comes your way. get excited when the highs come, but keep yourself grounded enough so that when the lows arrive, you don't fall further down :)
