As we in the northern hemisphere transition through Autumn into the colder winter months, I am reminiscent of the warmer, sunny days of the summer, longing that the cold dark days fly by quickly. Last winter, we had plenty of snow and I did manage to have one day of rolling snowballs with the result being my family's best snowman ever.
As you roll a snow ball for the snow man, starting with a small clump of snow it grows in size as you roll it along. The snow clutches on to additional snow as it rolls over and past increasing in size and weight as you continue to roll it. Standing downhill from one of these can be catastrophic!
I can not help but think of the similarities in business practices and the principles in place with physics. I believe that successful and sustainable business practice includes the understanding and principles keeping in mind that the major principle in place is "reaping what you sow".
A principle of Momentum-
In the same way as rolling snow balls will gather snow, so a growing business will continue with the momentum to grow. The downside is that companies can easily find themselves contracting and the same principle of momentum seems to be like a noose closing round the company more and more.
I believe that at the moment that the global economies are facing consequences and fighting the unwinding momentum triggered by the Chinese slowdown. Africa as a developing market is adversely affected and grouped together with the Chinese, having many international investors pulling away from their investments. With Africa's market so heavily invested into the resources and minerals sector, the bump in China's road has left the economies scrambling, kick starting the downward roll of this economic snowball.
All is not lost, especially if the momentum is tackled early, reversing the shift and momentum. We are seeing more and more the US and European central banks involved in this activity, but each business and person in our global economy can play their part in restricting the downward movement and reinforcing the growth. You can see from this article publish in the Star newspaper today, that the research is done with people that choose their view.
In our daily roles, within the global economies, are your actions and decisions impacting the growth or contraction in your communities economy. Your actions ripple throughout the global economy, so act in a way that will reverse the downhill slide for the path of growth.
