The reality of online business
The reality is, 90% of your time running an online business:
You are in pain.
You want things to go faster…
And you don’t know why they aren’t.
To make that worse, most of the time people are stuck in their room/office on their own trying to figure shit out.
It is brutal.
Then you go online and you see someone saying how easy it is.
Lol.
It is actually kinda easy, but then when you think about it you still have to live every single day while you’re building, and it also feels slow and excruciating at the same time.
Does that make sense?
This isn’t going to be one of those ‘build a network’ emails though.
The only true way to fix this is to get a plan and stick to it.
When you are alone, in your office, running late nights and early mornings, you just need to be able to remind yourself that you are in the right place, and just because you feel bad, that doesn’t mean somethings wrong.
You’re just in that phase.
It’s always that way.
I guess a better way to explain it would be that it is easy when you zoom out, but if you get caught in the micro of the day to day, it’s always hard.
On a long enough time horizon, just do good business and you will make it, but when you’re caught in the day to day of work, everything seems like you need to do 100 extra tasks.
The main point of this email is just to tell you:
If you feel this way, keep going. It is normal. You are not dying. You do not need to act on impulses. You are allowed to feel like shit and keep going. Zoom out. Get off social media where they tell you anyone below $100k/mo is poor.
Of course, strive for your goals, but don’t freak out.
Stick to the plan.

Hope that helps.
