Today’s the day.
The sun will be blocked by the moon. It’s a partial eclipse here in Connecticut, maxing out at 2:44 pm, and I, for one, am staying glued to the TV to see it safely and soundly.
The ancients thought it meant the end of the world; no surprise, since it becomes dark in the middle of the day. As the planets line up, strange things happen: birds stop chirping, insects come out, it gets cool quickly, even just for a few minutes.
As an entrepreneur, it’s one thing to keep your eyes upward, but not this afternoon. A positive, optimistic outlook is part of what we dreamers thrive on.
When the business planets align and something and marvelous happens, like earning a big new piece of business via an initial LinkedIn introduction, or finally meeting that great new colleague you vetted before you connect, or receiving an unexpected recommendation from a client on LinkedIn, or you are quoted in an article…ahhh, that feels good.
Real good. Enough to remember to update us on LinkedIn, too, please.
Shoot skyward, be a heavenly body in your field, and appreciate the rewards.
Eclipse your competition.
