Everything can change in a second

It's odd sometimes how something that seems so down and out can suddenly pick itself up again in an instant. Take this very post for example. I didn't really feel like writing a blog today until I took inspiration from one of my favourite bloggers Paul Castain who shared these words of wisdom in his post yesterday:

"The majority of people are ready to throw their arms and purposes overboard and give up at the first signs of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on despite all opposition until they attain their goal.”
-Napolean Hill

Since then I've been desparate to sit down and write a blog myself. I saw this very concept put into action just the other day and it reminded me that I planned to make a note of it on here. Inspiration is a brilliant thing isn't it?!

It was a sales situation, where all seemed pretty much lost. The writing was on the wall, the moderately obese lady had sung and the project had come off the rails. Basically, any imagery of a deal ending would have been appropriate at this point... Then one internal change within the business, a new strategy, a new direction that was picked up on the great World Wide Web and the door was once again flung wide open.

One action, one change, one article. That's all it takes to completely restart everything and completely change the complexion of a sale. So if I can add a somewhat poetic and meaningful quote to sit alongside Napolean's above it would be this - If you're not looking for a lifeboat chances are you won't be saved. Monitor your market, the smallest change for someone else could be the biggest change for you.
