I ride a constant emotional roller coaster with the ups and downs of my business. When something doesn't happen as planned I get pretty depressed. When I get that next large check though, I'm on top of the world.

When my business is doing unexpectedly bad, I feel my judgement become clouded, and my vision becomes murky. I find it hard to focus on what I need to do to pull out of the problem. I find myself questioning if I can even get to where I need to be.

But when it's doing well, everything becomes crystal clear and I feel like I can literally take over the world. I find it best to give myself pep talks every once in a while, and discuss in my head what it is that I need to accomplish, and what I need to do to make it happen. That is usually a clarifying moment that puts everything back into perspective.
