Tough Times Often Hides New Opportunities

An internet business is an inherently lonely business. Few people
around you know, let alone care or understand what you do.
Usually you have noone you can bounce your ideas off.

I'm very fortunate to find myself as one of the Crazy Foxes. It
gives me comfort to know that at any time I need advise or just
someone to talk to, I can click on my Desktop Crazy Foxes
Skype group, and there'll be someone there, ready to have
a chat.

People who survive in the internet world of business are people
who prefer to take charge of their own lives. If you can stay
positive and motivated, during the toughest of times, and if you
can believe that economic problems can open new opportunities,
then you have every chance to put your life on a clear track
towards your primary goals. Life is nothing if not a series of
challenges. What sets us all apart is how we deal with them.

To have a successful life you must have a plan. Each of us are
the masters of our own universe. If you don't know in which
direction you want to go and what you want to achieve, how
will you get there? You need to have a clear vision and know
precisely which obsticles lay in your path. If not, you become
like a rudderless boat which can only go nowhere.

I believe it's better to have a bad plan, than to have no plan at
all. I like to know that the mistakes I make throughout my life
are mine and can't be blamed on someone else. That's a
slippery slope I take great pains to avoid. Often you're
fortunate to meet and work with wonderful, intelligent people,
who can help you up the ladder towards your goals. I'm lucky
to have that with my Crazy Foxes group. I believe that advise
from your peers is a gift, but taking advise does not spread
the responsibily for the actions that follow. If you can't own a
decision don't make it.

Bad economic times are neither negative or positive, they are
simply a force of nature beyond any one persons control. So I
say; update your business plan, consider the obsticles, revise
your strategy, and set your path directly towards your goals.
If you stay on course, you WILL arrive, be it with or without
a few battle scars.
