Description: Looking down the slope of a heavily forested area, with the Grand River present in the background.

Story: Excerpt from the rough copy of "End Down, Start Up: The Parabolic Arc of Business", Chapter 3:

After starting out you'll quickly run into setbacks, most minor. There will be large problems though, like maintaining a budget, paying yourself a salary, supplier problems, and so many others that it may seem overwhelming. At those times you need to remember why you're doing this. You had a vision when you started out, and that vision still exists today.

You have to lead the company and remind everyone of where you're headed. Take solace in the little victories, celebrate together for the large ones, and always keep an upbeat attitude. If you keep positive then everyone else can find strength in that and carry on. Through all the obstacles and setbacks, never lose faith that your goal is still attainable.
