We’ve all faced them before. Your driving down the road trying to get somewhere, inevitably running late, and you come up on a detour sign. The detour is going to take you 30 min in the wrong direction. Obviously you don’t have much choice but to take it and that’s exactly why it irritates you. While encountering these detours on the road is one thing, having them impact our life is quite another.
How will you deal with the detours life throws at you? What happens when your business is down 50%? What happens when your great business idea doesn’t take off? What happens when your laid off? What happens when you’ve been rejected by publishers? What happens when your employees quit, like at Zappos? What happens when you loose your best customer? What happens when you get a bad review? What happens when you fail?
Time and time again life throws detours in our path. How you handle those could be the difference between getting back on track or continuing in the wrong direction. It’s something that you should be prepared for.
