I was talking to my team yesterday and we were discussing the market and the general sentiment.

Now those of you who know me will know that I don’t subscribe to a “market downturn” of any kind.

The market just changed. (yes it’s as simple as that)

It’s only our knowledge of the past that determines how we look at the current situation. I mean if you were to wake up today after being asleep for 10 years.. would you say that things are bad?

No way.

There is so much opportunity out there right now… all you have to do is look… HOWEVER… the market has changed… so you can’t look in places where you used to look. There are new, more exciting places to find opportunity… and there’s so much opportunity (and so many places to look).

It’s a shame that our view of the past affects how we look at things today… but that’s the reality. People’s feelings affect everything.

We live in a world we we all allow our feelings to be controlled (much too often) by others. (Isn’t that crazy?).

However… we starting to see those feelings change…

Is it that people have just got fed up with feeling bad?

Is is that people have got used to feeling bad… and it’s no longer news worthy?

No idea.

But they are changing.

When our feelings change so does the world… the signs of change are everywhere. It’s happening one person at a time… one person saying “I’ll invest” or “things are not so bad”.

The next few years are going to be an amazing time… what will our new world look like?  what will the opportunities be? Where will you fit in?

As this great new time unfolds before our eyes, and you find your new place in this new world.. remember one thing… don’t get too comfortable, and like Hem in the story of “who moved my cheese” – keeping your running shoes tied around your neck.

You never know when it’s time to run and find new cheese.
