To be honest I\u2019m feeling really low. Set a goal and missed it. Now I\u2019m trying to keep my head above water doing something super humbling for pitence<\/em>
<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nA friend sent me this text. We were supposed to be catching up but things hadn\u2019t being going to plan for him with his latest business project. He was off to do a job he didn\u2019t want to do, to earn some extra cash, to keep his business dreams alive. I have been there many times before with my work and business ventures.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis guy has been a massive encouragement and support to me so I decided to write this for him \ud83d\ude42
<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen the Excitement Wears off
<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSetting off on a new adventure is super exciting, full of enthusiasm and optimism. At some point though, you will reach a moment you haven\u2019t planned for or thought about.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou will feel like your failing, you’re not measuring up and you’re not good enough. You will look out and see everyone else being \u201csuccessful\u201d, it will seem like the only person in the world that can\u2019t do it is you!
<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor a while, I felt like this at least 1 in 4 weeks. I would call it the rollercoaster of business and life. How do you keep going when you feel like this?
<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile there\u2019s nothing I can say that will change how you feel right now it helps to know that it\u2019s normal.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s a Normal Part of the Journey
<\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne of the first blog posts I wrote was about failure<\/a>. I wanted to share the other side of the coin. We hear and see so many success stories. It\u2019s easy to think that if your struggling you\u2019re not doing it right and that successful people don\u2019t have these struggles.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere is an excerpt from that post\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201c… Over the years, I have tried numerous business projects that haven\u2019t succeeded at all or to the degree I would have originally hoped for. Ideas that I have put huge amounts of time and energy into only end up fizzling out. Again, at the time, it makes you feel like you\u2019re no good at anything. Each time, though, I tell myself that going through this process is an achievement in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have struggled with motivation and drive; they come and go like a rollercoaster. I can be very lazy. I love to come up with a great idea and get it started, but then I procrastinate doing anything that takes more than 10 minutes of my time. So, I don\u2019t get things finished. If I spent as much time finishing the ideas I started as I did thinking about new ones, I would be about 50 times more productive.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nI find it hard to make decisions; I am naturally quite shy and lack the confidence to back myself. Outwardly, I appear to take the bull by the horns and charge ahead, but inwardly, I secretly question every decision I make. I am constantly weighing what I \u201cshould have done.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\nBasically\u2019 I feel like I have stuffed up a thousand times before, and I know I will probably stuff up another thousand.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, what do I do about all this failure? \u2026\u201d Read more here<\/a>
