Have you ever been caught up in a trafic jam?

Have you ever been caught up in a traffic jam caused by drivers slowing down to view an accident?
Ghoulish isnt it but thats human nature.

Maybe were thankful for a split second that it isnt us but more of it is hoping to see a really bad accident that we can then discuss forever with anyone wholl listen.
I feel like that about this current financial scandal.
The papers are full of how bad it is, and if you are like this family or that family this is what you can expect. How ridiculous. Each family is unique and their situation has come about because of a unique set of decisions and events. Some they controlled and some they didnt.

But like any event that happens to us we do have choices. One of them is definitely how we deal with it. Speaking as one who has been dealt some unhelpful cards in my time, I refuse to define myself by the cards but my reaction to them. Which means that for me whats happening to my business is yet another defining challenge. I can sit there and say this isnt the time to be positive and go ahead with plans, and join in the general doom and gloom. Or I can roll my sleeves up and get stuck in to create the opportunities and move my business on.

Yes of course its a challenge. But thats why we are here.

Visions writer told me this story. A man was told that there were 1,000 buckets in front of him. In one of the buckets was a contract to do work he had been chasing.
What would you do in that situation?

I would be turning those buckets over as fast as I could move. And so would you.

So what is stopping you turning over the buckets in your business life?
