Spiders are amazing creatures. They never give up.
One day, I was watching a spider on the back deck at our home in the Pacific Northwest while it was building its web. It did so at an incredible pace and with such an unstoppable tenacity, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of it.
The sun shone through like a spot light into our backyard in such a way that it perfectly illuminated the scene for me for just a few moments. I could see each strand of silk being woven by the spider as she spiraled herself around a work of art. She spot-welded each joint like a crazed construction worker.
At the same time, I had a terribly cruel mental image. I thought about how easy it would be for me to destroy all of this hard work in just seconds with one fell swoop of my hand. (I’m not really that mean of a person…but the thought did cross my mind.) But I let her continue and I studied her work.
However, while this web was wonderfully engineered to trap any one of many kinds of flying insects, it was no match for my size - and with one swipe of my hand I could ruin what was probably hours of work.
But you and I both know what would have happened if I did. She would build another one…. immediately. And if I broke that next web – she would start over again.
Spiders are the best kind of entrepreneurs. They work hard with a specific goal in mind. They follow the blueprint of past success and carry out their plan in a regimented and disciplined stride.
Then they wait. Patiently, a spider will wait for her web traffic to arrive, so she can sustain herself and do it again.
If her web site goes down – she builds another one. Nothing can stop her quest – because it is who she is – and how she lives.
If would-be Internet entrepreneurs thought and behaved more like the spider, we would be reading many more true success stories than we do.
Successful entrepreneurs are funny people. They never get PERMANENTLY discouraged – just temporarily set back. Their downtime just causes them reason to stop, re-group, learn from the past and do it again.
That is the making of a success story.
