Have you ever heard that saying 'the darkest hour is just before the dawn'? (that may not be entirely word for word what the saying is!) It's all about how close you are to making things happen when you have reached the point at which you are ready to give up entirely. It feels like the universe is conspiring against you, testing you at every turn and that it just wants you to piss off and stop hammering away at it like an annoying chisel.
However...I have so many examples of when this has turned out not to be too far from the truth and an explanation for why this is so often the case.
My Mothers Cousin is the racing car driver Derek Warwick, the Warwick family had reached the end of their tether....they had tried so hard to make everything work in their business but they were about to go under and things were looking bleak.They had an enquiry in at the last minute from someone who wanted an order and with a dismissive wave of his hand Mr Warwick quoted them way above what they normally quoted because what did they have to lose...that massive quote was accepted and the business was saved. It took near disaster for them to really value what they had (even without knowing it!) and what looked like the brink of disaster was in fact the brink of success.
It is that moment when you feel that you have nothing to lose that you suddenly reach out for something bigger than you ever dreamed was possible because what the hell, you might as well now! Who cares if you are about to give up anyway you can give it one last big shot and not worry too much about the outcome...
But what if we were to give it 'one last shot' in everything that we do? What if 'one last shot' was just part of our strategy for keeping up momentum? So that client you haven't heard from in ages isn't responding to you...give it one last shot and give that shot everything you've got because it might be the only shot you need. What if you have been frightened to charge more but you are not getting many clients anyway? Give it one last shot with the next client who comes your way and charge what you are really worth not what your fear tells you you are worth - you might just find you suddenly become a more attractive proposition rather than less of one!
So act as if that brick wall is there to be broken, see it as the brink of success and not of disaster, give it one last shot and make that shot the highest aim that you can!
