The ups and downs of entrepreneurship are something I don’t think you can prepare for. You just have to experience them.
I’ve been feeling so much anxiety lately because I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t know what to do next. I worry about letting down my team and making mistakes. But the reality I need to face is I’ve never done this before.
I’ve never done ANY of this. Why would I know what I’m doing? Why should I know what to do before I gain experience, repetitions, and make mistakes I can learn from?
It’s easier said than done, and I also try to remind myself to be grateful. I’m relatively young, if this doesn’t work out I have time to try again or get a normal job and have a stable career. Anything I do after this can’t be nearly as hard, and I have my health which is the most important thing in the long run.
This is important to me. Other people depend on me. But ay the end of the day I come home to a beautiful family that loves me and I have what I need to enjoy a safe, happy, and peaceful life. That isn’t true for many, maybe most.
I’m new to all of this. But so many before me have gone through the same struggles, almost certainly with less resources, and made it out the other side. I’ve got this. I can do it. I will find a way.
