Now does it happen after a natural business cycle, normal human behavior, yes but you don't have to participate." </p><p><strong>Walker</strong>: "Read books. I don't care if they're business books, I don't care if they're history books, I don't care if they're personal, I don't care if they're fiction. But feed your mind with something besides the fricking doom news which is always negative." </p><p><strong>Walker</strong>: "What's happening today is noise. When we write about it 10 years from now it'll be history which is written through a certain lens. But today, all we can control is us and what we do, and how we approach things and what happens when you get punched in the face. What happens when things don't go your way, what do you do next?"</p><p>Where to find <strong>Walker</strong>:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/walkermckay/">LinkedIn</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/walkermckay">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nobssalesschool/">Instagram</a></li><li><a href="http://www.7salesmistakes.com">Free training course</a></li><li><a href="https://www.walkermckay.com/">www.walkermckay.com</a></li></ul>
