Have you ever wondered why some people find it so easy to bounce back after a crisis yet others find it nearly impossible? We see some people, after having a major crisis in their lives, bounce back so easily and even sometimes create more opportunities within their lives after they have had a major crisis. We also see businesses bounce back sometimes more stronger after having a major crisis, or even sometimes more then 2 or 3 crises straight after each other yet they still manage to find greater opportunities.

Then you have other people that when they have a crisis in their lives everything changes for the worst. After one crisis everything just seems to go wrong, and within a short period of time they seem completely in a different place as to when the first crisis happened. Same with businesses, after just one crisis comes massive destruction and before to long the company has gone belly up… Why is this?

It’s interesting the people and businesses that are resilient to crisis and even turn crises into opportunities. But then on the other hand are some businesses and people that can not see the light at the end of the tunnel after a crisis. The Chinese have a 2 syllabus word for the word “crisis”; its ‘Danger and opportunity’. Crisis = Opportunity. But the BIG question is how do you discover the opportunity in the crisis especially when you are in the middle of it. We can all get so involved in the crisis and have the more reactive approach as in many cases it is the only option.

I would like to introduce you to a theory I’ve created that comes under the title of my new book called ‘Bounce’. When a ball “bounces” it hits a hard surface and bounces back, and in many cases it bounces higher then the position that it was thrown from. How to “Bounce” is a theory that every person and business needs to learn and develop, to ensure a sustainable and enduring life. If we do not Bounce we will suffocate under the crises that is life today. But if we can teach ourselves and our people to Bounce, there is a world full of unlimited opportunities and crises to be overcome.

We often hear stories about how a death in the town brings the community together or the family that’s going through a major crisis and their friends offer help. Crisis is the greatest change agent in discovering the new. You see things differently then before the crisis happened and you change rapidly to suit the current situation. You are out of your comfort zone and think more creatively as it is not familiar territory. You have not experienced this situation before so you are walking in the dark, exploring the unknown. Adrenalin is pumping, eyes are wide open, your brain is operating at maximum speed, fear is nowhere to be seen, and survival is our goal.

To “Bounce”, there are 8 indisputable keys that you need to posses in order to bounce back stronger, higher & better then you ever were or ever have been. These indisputable keys will ensure you have the Bounce that every person & business needs after crisis. Each key will unlock and awaken motivation and potential and help every person and organization handle crisis.
