Your business is you.

You will be needing to bring more than great idea to the table.

Aside ideas, your personality and belief system will be on the menu too.

I’ve since learnt that building a business is beyond having great ideas, an office space, nice furniture and good looking staff.

You will need an indomitable WILL on this journey,

A faith in yourself and what you have to offer.

A truckload of resilience along the unpredictable road to success.

You will need fire and passion up your heart,

And grease of motivation to your joints each morning, to enable you show up.

You will need to commit to something, anything that keeps you on the track to achieving your goal.

What does not fit, don’t force it.
Use it as a pointer to what else could fit or let it serve as a signal that it isn’t time for things to fit in. Be easy on yourself

And when you are weary, discouraged and bone tired? Let your feelings find an outlet. But if you must complain, do so from a place of strength and not weakness. Don’t say “I don’t know what else to do now” rather you can say “this is tough but I need to find a way around it”

Did anyone say it was going to be easy?

They lied.

……just remember that it will be worth it at the end.
