Now we are living in uncertain times, that\u2019s for sure, but the passion inside a true business person remains the same, you&#8217;re a leader or you&#8217;re a follower. It\u2019s true businesses have taken a fall in recent times, but those who choose to lead and take the reins with a passion to succeed no matter what problems they face will lead and succeed again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all you business minded people out their don\u2019t give up! There is a old saying I would use in my ads often &#8211;  \u201cHe who Hesitates is Lost.\u201c<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my memories I will never forget, and still chuckle when I think back:  I had arrived in Mataranka Some hours from Darwin, a stinking hot day. My last vendor had told me about the Mataranka springs, how beautiful and soothing they were on a hot day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As my drive was exhausting I was determined to bathe in these springs! So I arrived later that day, and while floating around the springs I saw a ranger looking around the shores. &#8220;What a beautiful day!&#8221; I called out to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes!&#8221; he said. &#8220;Gee you&#8217;re game! I just pulled a heap of spawning crocs out of the springs right near where you are right now!&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shocked, I said &#8220;Have you ever found any bodies?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but I have found a lot of thongs!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crikey!!! Jesus Christ had nothing on me, I walked on water that day!\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude06\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/1f606\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude06\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/1f606\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude06\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/1f606\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude06\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/1f606\"><br>Stay safe my friends, till next time\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude37\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/1f637\"> Cathryn\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome Readers!
