It’s natural to have wishes and prayers.

If you’re not wishing for something to go your way, you’ll not aiming high enough.

The danger is that the strength of your wishing can sometimes trick your brain into believing the wish is a certainty.

It’s not.

Whether it’s a client paying on time, or a new client signing on, or an imminent capital raise, prepare for the worst.

Keep praying/wishing/holding thumbs, but never ever run your business on a wish and a prayer.
