Looking at an old photo again makes that business feel clearer.
After pulling out a photo of the first store, you keep comparing today’s sales with how you felt back then.
Scenes
- One photo reaches all the way to today’s sales — Late at night, when you pull out a photo of the first store, you find yourself setting today’s sales beside how you felt back then.
- Back then, you kept going even when they were empty. — When you see the empty shelves and awkward sign in the photo, you start thinking that the hesitant person you are now is weaker than you were then.
- A photo only shows the time you held on. — When looking at your business and finances, first separate the effort back then from today’s sales. The photo doesn’t show your costs or customer flow.
- Beside the photo, try placing only today’s facts. — Tonight, briefly write down the money that came in, the money that will go out, and the money you still don’t know about beside the photo. Set your judgments aside for a moment.
- The photo doesn’t decide the answer for you. — If your heart still doesn’t settle after writing things down, it may not be that the photo is wrong. You may have judged two different times all at once.
