Step up your work when sales are down. That's all I can tell you, based on my experience. Nothing beats working harder and generating new ideas, finding new sites to promote.

Many things have changed in this industry over the years, but ups-and-downs are constant.

Great advice, and words to live by. It's easy to coast when things are going well. The smart people work harder, when sales are down. The more you do this, the less "down" periods you will have.

Words to live by. And once you accept that constant, you're free to use it in your own equations. I've found that one sure way to increase the length of a down period is to waste time thinking about it, dwelling on it, or talking about it. I think it's better to treat it like an expected sampling of a waveform that will peak again soon, and just keep working as usual.
