With Perfect 2020 Vision Year coming just around the bend in the road ahead -- what will it actually look like or be like this Year of 2020?

When we truly do not know, then, what are we to do?

As we journey along on this amazing Wealthy Affiliate platform, there's an ancient proverb that has served us well in steadying our travels through-out the virtual world, as well as, in the real world . . .

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"To know the road ahead, ask those coming back."
Ancient Chinese Proverb.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

That's right, there are many, many experienced, successful members of whom we might ask because they've already taken the trip on the road less traveled before us.

They've plowed the path as trail blazers!

Take note of their experience and see if it may work for you. . .


Enjoy the rest of your 2019 in splendid peace, love & harmony! . . .

*** hi STAR Sunshine! ... always appreciate your quotes & quips here, Tom! ... home soon, hopefully? ... all the very best to you for everything good ... cheerio ... β­οΈπŸŽ…β­οΈπŸŽ„πŸŽβ­οΈπŸ§‘πŸ˜Šβ­οΈ

2020 has a certain ring to it. I must be a little slow on the uptake, I have just realized that we are at the end of a decade, where have the last 10 years gone.

Then when we think of it 2020 vison is laser-focused as we head into the roaring twenties again, time to bring that laser focus to our businesses.

My take-home on that proverb, observing the ones who have traveled before us means that we do not have to reinvent the wheel, it is doing a great job of going round and round.

We just need to follow.

Yikes, that song has just started looping in my head, the wheels of the bus go round and round.



.... funny of how most of us feel we've lost 10 years or maybe 20 years somewhere along the WAy! .... lol .... maybe there's been a 'wrinkle in time' that we're unaware of ... who knows? ...

.... yes, there's an old adage that says, ' why re-invent the wheel and fix it when it ain't broke!' ... or something similar to it ...

... keep well, keep happy -- always a delight to see ya, Alex! ...

Enjoy a wondrous, bright, joyous holiday season .... β­οΈπŸŽ…β­οΈπŸŽ„β­οΈ

I've heard that proverb before, it's a good one .
2 of my favorite sayings are,

1. The way to overcome a problem is to first realize you have one !

2. People see things the way they are and say why, I like to see things the way they could be and say why not !
Robert Kennedy

Have a great day ! πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘Œ

.... Yes, always did love the second quote -- such an inspiring statement -- thanks!

.... enjoy a wondrous holiday season ... β­οΈπŸŽ…β­οΈπŸŽ„β­οΈ

Another version of it is, call those ahead of you with a phone or a radio, not those coming back. Those who are coming back are probably quitting and canceling their accounts. So, better radio those who are ahead in the highway, ask what it would be like being there.

Never thought of it that way, Gomer--you're probably right!

Jeff

hi Gomer -- good to see ya here today! ... interesting version -- more like a modern day version versus an ancient one where they likely rode on horseback or pack mules! ... chuckles! ..

super points -- your insights are appreciated, cheerio ...

enjoy a wondrous, bright holiday season ... β­οΈπŸŽ„β­οΈπŸŽ…β­οΈ

Yes this platform isn't built on theory it's built on results of the founders and the many other individuals whom offer their insight and expertise....2020 is going to be a banner year.
