Do you ever ask yourself that? What the hell am I doing?
Haha, if you have, then you must be an entrepreneur!
Some days I wake up, look at my to-do list, and ask myself that very question. But you know what? If you’re doing something, then you’re moving in the right direction. If you have a plan, you’re doing something right. During a product build or your early stages, the stretch ahead of you seems so… long, doesn’t it? Remember that success is a journey, not a destination.
Sometimes you think you’re doing the right thing, and a little butterfly sets you back two steps in the wrong direction. But sometimes you need to go back those two steps to realize how to jump the next 10 steps in your startup’s future.
Sometimes you plan your business around this one aspect, and that aspect falls through. The beauty is, when one door closes, 10 million more open ahead! Don’t be discouraged by something you thought may have been right- pick yourself up, lead your team, and find value in your “mistake”. Remember that a mistake is not a mistake if you learn something from it.
It’s okay to have those “Oh, F#$%” moments (we all do). It’s okay to freak out every once in awhile, but it’s also important to pick yourself back up and focus- get back on track! Don’t let anything deter you from the success you are achieving! Don’t feel successful? Look at the people around you that believe in you. And remember that- they believe in you because you believe in yourself.
If you think you have no idea what you’re doing, think again. If you’re doing something, you’re doing something right. :)
If you need some support, reach out and be support for someone else. You’d be surprised how that support comes back 10-fold. I truly believe if we all hold each others’ hands, we’ll all ride the wave of success.
Ta-Ta for now, and keep that smile shining. :)
