PW and the Badger
That’s me with Bucky Badger, the mascot for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We were getting ready to cheer the Badgers on to victory against the Fresno State Bulldogs.
That was our last win so far of the season.
It’s been a disappointing season so far for Wisconsin football, as both the Badgers and Packers are on losing streaks. Hopefully they’ll get themselves turned around this weekend.
And that leads me to a small business tip for the day – never lose hope. Things can turn around for you on a dime. You see this in sports all the time – one good play can turn around a losing game, one good game can turn around a season. But you also see it in business. So many people stop a few steps shy of actually seeing all their hard work pay off and success to start coming in. And many successful people are that way only because of years and years of perseverance (Thomas Edison had 10,000 failures trying to invent that light bulb before he got it right.)
Do you have any stories about how you almost gave up and success stepped in? I’d love to hear your stories.
