Sometimes, running a business is like taking a nice leisurely trip down a relaxing river. The current pulls you forward, there's not an obstacle in sight, and everything seems to be going your way and you can do no wrong.And sometimes running a business is like going down that same river except now there's a category 5 hurricane in the area and as you desperately hold on for dear life you become pretty certain that you're going to die in a horrible canoe accident.
