[OBO Digest] Adversity… is there a *secret* to overcoming it?

Adversity WILL define you … how it does is your choice!

Online Business Owner • March 09, 2023

Welcome to the latest edition of THE DIGEST… we’re excited about this one because THIS impacts everyone.

And when we say everyone, we mean… EVERYONE!

What is this “one thing”?

ADVERSITY

Maybe it’s an obstacle; maybe some form of internal resistance; maybe something brought on by something outside of your control.

The specifics will differ, but your role as a business owner remains the same…

You NEED to rise to the occasion.

And in a few short minutes, you’ll know how

So let’s dive in, starting with this thought-provoking piece by Abi Levine.

Feeling Stuck, Stalled & Frustrated? Try These 3 Practical Steps!

Instead, as Abi Levine suggests, you may have simply reached an “upper limit”.

and this is fine and totally natural and every business goes through it (many times)...

What matters is that you take a step back so you can take the “right” steps forward. Abi shows you how with some clear and practical steps.
