Life is tough at times...

For the last 2 months I have been out with a back injury. I'm not sure how or what caused it but I have been to the Doctor four times and have had x-rays and MRI's done. I missed work for awhile and have been on meds for going on 2 months now...it really makes it hard to focus on anything, especially because I am worrying about what the hell is wrong with me and those meds really cloud my thinking.

I had to drop what I am doing here and try to get my head straight. What happens if i can't walk? What about my job and supporting my family? The questions I ask myself are endless.I'm not looking for sympathy by any means. I just want to stress that the things in life that are important to you shouldn't be taken for granite.

The thoughts that run through ones head can really be confusing because you rarely know a good thing when you see it so you can take full advantage of it. Why am I not a full time marketer yet? Man, life is full of choices and no one said it would be easy. Sure I am still making some money, but 2 months can really set a person back and you have to keep on top of things or you can easily get discouraged.

Prior to this, the company I work for split and was separated from 2 other stores so we were on our own. Take a second and think. We are a car dealership and were selling on average 20 new cars every month. Now, not only do we have to increase our new car sales but we are now selling pre-owned cars as well. New Face Book page, new advertising, new employees, new attitude.In the 1st month we sold 36 new cars and 15 used cars, in the second month we sold 56 new cars and 25 used cars...what took us to this level of sales...Ideas I learned from this community. Now we are so busy I am having difficulty trying to hire qualified personnel to handle the traffic we have coming in and I can't even see or think with a clear mind because of my back.There really is no point to this blog post other than, do what you can and do it now, really, you CAN do it. Prepare yourself for the worst and plan for the best, which I didn't do. I really didn't think I could do it. DON"T do this to yourselves!
