What advice would you give to someone feeling discouraged or doubtful about their entrepreneurial journey?

Let's start this forum off with some of your best tips you dish out when a fellow entrepreneur needs a boost. We've all been there! 

  • You just have to start. 
    Will it be sacry? Definitely!!
    Will it be worth it? Totally!!! 
    Will it be easy? **bleep** No! 

    Always keep learning, because there will be someone out there that has the newest, shiny thing that will challenge you. But if you dig in and go for it and you know what you are doing, then you have nothing to fear.

      Love the honesty and motivation! It's true—starting is the hardest part, but it's all about pushing through the fear and staying sharp.

  • There are highs and lows just keep at it and never get discouraged when you have your lows because if you keep on that path it will turn into a high!

      It’s encouraging to remember that lows are often just a part of the journey to future highs. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Having a bigger purpose or why has always helped me find my true north when the journey is tough

      Your true north 🙌 what a powerful approach. A strong sense of purpose can definitely guide you through the tough times.

  • Trust yourself, keep learning, and keep pushing forward. Keep learning new ways to do what you need to do.

      I could not agree more about trusting yourself. If you don't believe in yourself and your work, how can you expect your customers to believe in you??

      Absolutely, staying curious and adaptable is key! Any particular resources or methods that have helped you stay on top of industry trends?

  • Trust the process. Lulls can happen, and you can always learn something from them. Motivation is intrinsic so revisit your "why" and tweak it if it has evolved.

      Great advice. Trusting the process and revisiting your "why" can really help keep things in perspective.
