A Setback Doesn't Always Mean You're Going Backward

Sometimes the roadblock in front of you is there to make you reconsider the road you're traveling. In business and in life, setbacks can be frustrating. A plan fails. An opportunity disappears. Sales decline. A key employee leaves. Something you were counting on simply doesn't work out. But what if that setback isn't the end of the road? What if it's a REDIRECTION? Some of our greatest opportunities appear only after we're forced to change direction. A setback can make you: Question what's no longer working. See opportunities you've been overlooking.  Make decisions you've been avoiding. Develop new skills and capabilities. Pursue a better path forward. Don't become so focused on getting back to where you were that you miss the opportunity to go somewhere better. Your setback could become the launchpad that redirects you toward exactly where you need to go. Don't just bounce back. LAUNCH FORWARD!
