Life and business are both full of ups and downs. Anyone who has been up, never forgets the time they were down.
In the 60's, I sat in a large New York hall, listening to a famous Italian Hairstylist describe the latest technique in men's hairstyling, to an audience of young, small-town barbers.
Three other barbers and I had crammed ourselves into an old station wagon and had driven ten-hours straight through, from North Carolina to New York City, to hear the 'statue'. None of us considered ourselves pigeons. But looking back now, it was clear.
It didn't matter! We were willing to do what it took to perfect our scissor cuts and master the new 'razor-cut styling trend'.
Every setback, every disappointment, is just a stepping stone on the path to success.
Some days you're the pigeon. Some days you're the statue!
Be prepared to have setbacks and disappointments --
They are opportunities for growth, not your defining moments!
In order to fully enjoy your 'statue' days and take on new challenges with confidence, you first have to remember you were once a pigeon!
Like I always say,
"ONE DAY YOU'LL LOOK BACK ON THIS AND LAUGH!"
