Feeling betrayed and lied to. Get angry. But there is a risk. Anger, if not well directed, can turn in on you. If suppressed, it acts against you. It needs to be ventilated. But how do you do this and remain positive in thought and action. It needs both. Thought alone is not enough because thought alone can turn into a prayer, dream or fantasy. That’s yielded little for most. Action is the difference.

We live in unstable times, and a brief look at the news headlines is almost always disheartening.

When we look at the business owners that fall into one of the three behaviours, we notice a consistent line of logic that begins to make sense as to why they behave in the way they do.
