Tomorrow is Another Day

If you follow my blog you probably know that I am a BIG fan of The Wizard of Oz and all the subtext regarding business that goes along with the movie/book. However, I have another favorite movie/book — and that’s Gone With the Wind. There is a lot of history, business and life that is found in this book as well, but my all time favorite quote is “Tomorrow is Another Day.” That has a lot of pertinence for me as well, especially lately with all the medical issues I have going on.

Many of my days lately have found me lying in bed thinking “How can I run my business from here? Should I just give it up? Call it quits? Shut it down?” And then I shake my head and say, “Of course not. Tomorrow is another day and I will feel better; have more energy, more stamina and a better mindset.”

Have you ever felt like that? Down and frustrated? What do you do to pick yourself up and get back out there again? If you’re a true entrepreneur, you may have days of severe depression and frustration, but nothing is going to keep you down long.

In Gone With The Wind, when Scarlett gets frustrated and doesn’t know which way to turn she tells herself that tomorrow is another day and she’ll go home to Tara her place of security and comfort. As entrepreneurs we need to find that “safe place” too. A place where we can think, can relax and get back up on our feet. Our Tara might be family, a night out with friends, or meeting with a great group of business colleagues that we know have our back and are ready to support us, give us ideas and help us think of ways around the road block that we see in front of us.

Coming up in October there is just such a “Tara” — but it’s in Chesterton, IN not Atlanta, GA. The Dream BIG Retreat, like other small business conferences, is a weekend away from the daily grind where businesses come together to network, to share, to learn, to have some fun and to be able to “think about it.” It is a “tomorrow” where the entrepreneur can get away to think clearly and find their safe place for business support and growth.

If this sounds like something of interest, check out 2016-dream-big and come find your own “Gone With The Wind”, only it will be called, “Here with a Dream”.
