Today was a pretty good day around the old neighborhood. When the deals flow, they flow and when they don't, they don't.
As an owner of a small business, we go through the pains of feast or famine. Today was feast. Some days are famine. I have found that the business rolls in cycles. I have had my own shop for 3 years, but in the same industry for over 10. For the past 10 years the summer has been slow and the fourth quarter packed with opportunity.
Not only was I able to secure a couple of really good meetings, I was able to help one of our partner companies secure appointments as well and was able to refer out two solid deals to others.
I am always worried about where the next deal will come from, but hard work, a referral network and sometimes just plain luck keep us going.
I hope others had a good day as well.
