I can’t promise that building a business is all roses and sunshine. It’s just not. It’s competitive! If you step into the boxing ring, you are going to get punched. If you understand that ahead of time, you can adapt and conquer. If you run into those days where you feel burdened, frustrated, annoyed and overwhelmed – KEEP FIGHTING! The people who quit too early are the ones stuck in cubicle farms.
There have been plenty of times when I have thought about giving up working for myself. I’ve even sent out resumes before when I just felt overwhelmed trying to do it on my own. Fortunately, nobody wants to hire me, so I have no choice but to endure. I haven’t considered working for someone else for at least four years, so don’t worry, it’s not like I was blasting out resumes yesterday! We just all have those days where we want to pass on the responsibility to someone else, a boss or a guru or a master that will take care of us and show us the way.
But the terrible and life-affirming truth is that there’s nobody that can take care of you like you can take care of yourself.
