Part 4. Despondency and Perspective..!
Carrying on with what I’ve learned, what I’m learning and what I’ve observed.
I think it doesn’t matter who you are or how successful you are, you will feel despondent at some point.
Sales slowed down?
Lost a bit of fire in your belly?
Believing everything that everyone else is posting on social media?
Wandering what in gods name you are actually doing?
And on and on.
Generally I just ride it out. Let it take its course because somewhere deep down I know I’ll come out the other end and be ok.
Sometimes I feel like quitting but then I feel like I’m in too deep. Easier to swim on and take a rest at the next stop than turn and go back.
Gotta keep perspective. It’s easy to do nothing, take no risks, snipe from the sidelines - God knows I’ve done a lot of that in previous years.!
But If you’ve got up and put yourself out there then you’ve done something that a lot of people want to do but don’t quite get there.
So if that’s you? Give yerself a break. It’s easier if you are doing things for the right reasons. Not so easy if you see yerself as the next “insert famous rich person here”.
So go have a pie and look at what you’ve done.
