We can learn a lot from horses; I sure did. Before my wife got me interested in them, I couldn''t even spell hoarse (!); now I am learning from them while learning about them.
Today''s lesson was learned when Kelly, our mare, found her way into the breezeway of the barn. The breezeway is the area where we humans walk when we feed or visit the horses Cheap Zach Cunningham Jersey , and also serves as a storage area for horse-related supplies. It runs alongside the two stalls, which are on the left as you walk in. (We get into the stalls from the breezeway, the horses enter and exit through doorways on the opposite side.) The breezeway is full of horsey temptations and dangers, including bags of food, treats Cheap Deshaun Watson Jersey , and medications that, if ingested in large quantities could make them seriously ill: think of it as a candy store for horses. A very narrow candy store for horses.
Kelly got in there when I carelessly left a gate open that should have been closed. There she was, sniffing away and looking for goodies in a fairly confined space, considering she weighs in at about 1100 pounds.
Uh-oh! She can''t be in there! She could get sick or hurt! What should I do?!? I remembered being told once that when a horse is in a dangerous situation, you must remain calm. After all Cheap Whitney Mercilus Jersey , what do you think she would have done had I run in there yelling at her? She would have bolted, perhaps further into the breezeway, perhaps towards me trying to get out. Getting run over by an upset horse is not my idea of a good time. Who knows what she would have bumped into, broken, stepped on Cheap Johnathan Joseph Jersey , or??? Causing her to panic could have easily caused 10 times more damage than I was trying to prevent.
So, I stopped to think. I made sure she had a clear route to where I wanted her to go. And then I walked in there and said in a firm, but quiet and somewhat disgusted voice, "Kelly! You know you''re not supposed to be in here!" She slowly looked up at me, turned around Cheap Jadeveon Clowney Jersey , and casually walked out with a look that said, "Gee, dad, you''re no fun!" She went where I wanted her to go, I closed the gate behind her Cheap Lamar Miller Jersey , and that was that.
It occurred to me that this was a great lesson for our businesses. Things happen all the time that could have very bad consequences for us. New competition, new laws that adversely affect us, loss of an important client, significant world events such as September 11... the list goes on and on. How do we react? If we react emotionally, we could make the problem worse.
Your gut reaction may be to yell at an important customer that''s giving you a hard time. Stop. Call them back later.
Cash flow not what you need it to be? Don''t panic. Think it through.
Does your local government suddenly want to slap license fees on home businesses? Be calm. Discuss it with one of your peers.
My point is this: if a horse gets into the breezeway of your business Cheap DeAndre Hopkins Jersey , remain calm and carefully consider your options before reacting. The business you save may be your own.

Self-Funding Conviction and good business plan are the most valuable assets a business owner can have. If you believe that you have game-changing business ideas then you can risk leveraging your personal assets. To be truthful, it depends upon what kind of business activity you are into and how much financial risk appetite you have. Only if someone has financial assets he can invest the money using self-funding, besides if your business activity is too big chances are that self-funding will not be a viable option for you. Identify Angel Investors Some people with huge surplus cash can risk lending money to business owners on certain terms and conditions. You can present a business plan transparently to your investors with appropriate valuations and costs involved with the project to convince them to invest in your business.
