Business is important to me, so let’s break some things down. If you or someone you know has a small business or even a large business that once was a goal on a piece of paper you should read this.
In the first few years as a business owner, you will suffer before you win depending how fast consistency picks up. You will have some wins but you will have mostly losses. Losses financially not emotionally (If you’re lucky), you won’t allow things to get to you.
You will self invest because it is what makes you an entrepreneur.
You may or may not want a loan or be able to get one.
You may or may not have sponsors or support.
You will BUILD your brand so all of those things will come to you.
People will tell you “to get a regular job” and give up when they see the struggle.
People will ask you to hire them when they see the wins.
EVERYONE who fake fucks with you till they see someone major co sign you will appear asking for your guidance on “how they can be like you”
EVERYONE who believed in you from the trenches before you leapt into independent times will be proud of you and may even lend a hand when you need it.
PEOPLE who don’t know a thing about you will walk in during a bad or a good day and pass opinion on how you should do what you do or how they know someone who does what you do.. but they will never actually be a positive factor…they are the weeds in your creative garden..they will have a lot to say but nothing to contribute in reality.
YOU will question yourself at times when you have a down moment.
YOU will be excited and motivated at times where things turn themselves around when you don’t expect a win.
YOU will have a win and a loss in some way shape or form DAILY.
It is up to YOU to balance it all and make it work for you.
The only people who quit, are the ones who don’t believe in their own cause or passion.
THERE IS ROOM FOR SUCCESS IN ALL BUSINESS, YOU JUST HAVE TO GET THERE. -JDM
