This message couldn't have been a more timely one (swipe to see). I saw this popped up in my FB today. It was a message from myself a year ago.
I took a break from social media for a while. It was much needed as these past several months were nothing but frustrating and tiring when it comes to getting momentum in business. I was exhausted, anxious and frustrated with everything.
A break was wonderful, it gave me time to refocus and peace which I hadn'texperienced in months since this pandemic.
This morning when I woke up, my 11 year old handed me a card (swipe to see) and an envelope. That almost brought tears to my eyes. She gave me $80 from her piggy bank. I never told her how challenging busines has been. I told her to keep money and I'd only keep the card π That was the sweetest thing.
Another thing I learned was I love doing what I do..digital/website design, photos and connecting with new people. I love EVERYTHING about them.. They keep me alive and creative. I can't tell you how many amazing places and people I've discovered and met along this journey.
Surprisingly, once you stopped chasing, things started coming your way. All of sudden, multiple new prospects contacted me over the last few weeks and my my feelings haven't been as heavy as before. Everything is beginning to change for the better I truly believe.

If this year has been rough for you, know that you aren't alone. Entrepreneurship is a stressful road but so rewarding if you can handle the heavy loads and challenges that come with it.
Take a break, don't compare with others because each person has a unique journey. I hope your difficulties and hardships come to an end soon. Hug and encouragement to all that need it.
