Keeping The Faith

On the road to business building,
you will, unfortunately,
have days
when you question WHY.
Why are you building this business?
Why are you sacrificing time spent
with your family
for a success that might or might not happen?

This WILL happen.
It is normal.

So plan for these days.
Design a support system
to help you work through the doubts
and continue.

One of the tricks I use is
when I start a project,
I’ll send a loved one
a list of reasons
why this project will succeed
and why it is important.

I ask the loved one
to send this list back to me
whenever I sound like
I’m doubting myself.

Because the encouragement
is written for myself
by myself,
it uses words and concepts
I understand.

Doubt is normal.
Doubt is to be expected.
Plan for it.
