Life Ain’t Fair and Neither is Business

LANGUAGE WARNING!

We’ve all heard it before, “Life’s not fair”. My parents used to say it all the time. Something I’ve come to realize is that business ain’t fair either. But for some strange reason, most people think it should be.

I’m constantly seeing the complaints about this happened that caused my business to this. Well, who cares? I know I don’t. Shit happens all the time and it happens to all of us. But successful people acknowledge that there are some things they can’t control and choose to react by making the situation better instead of sitting around bitching about what happened.

It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

- Epictetus

In business, the successful make solutions out of problems. Without problems, you couldn’t have solutions. I urge you to remember this when growing your business and don’t fall into the trap of self pity because outside forces are handing lemons.

Like my buddy Ori said:

If life hands you lemons, break out the tequila!

To your Success!
