founding by losing

^Hey there...

It was amazing.
A few hours ago i realise that ive lost my usb stick.

With nearly 20 articels ive wrote to post the next hours, my strategic file, files with account data of my marketing blogs und my loved ressource file with tons of links for my IM work. -.-

And a bunch of new idear mind maps.


OK, what can i do?

I could use it as a great chance to laser focus my bizz.

Some information i can rebuild based on memorys.
All other -> couldn't be so important because i dont remember them.

Laser focus to the promotion task i was working on at last to make it most effective.

Don't be frustrated because of losings - try to see them as a chance for a new beginning.

    Nice way of looking at it! Sometimes losing something causes you to focus on what clutter you were in the middle of before.

    Perhaps in some time you've find it and see what you had on there and think "How did I ever get ANYTHING done!?"

    I'd recommend using "Google Docs" instead of a USB - means all your work will be stored online, linked to your gmail account and you can access it whatever computer you are on if you move about - you can also share documents between several people - it's so useful for me:
    docs.google.com

    I lost a whole hard drive with about 5 months worth of work (from when I last backed it up) and I was gutted for ages. But after a while, like you, I realised I had to get on with it and all the research, etc that I did again from scratch was way, way better than the first lot.

    That whole event actually kicked off one of my best business ideas to date. Kudos on the right attitude.

    Thank you for your replies.

    Yes, sometimes a step backwards is a step forward.
