Here is a reality of entrepreneurship:
THERE WILL BE PAIN.
In fact, sometimes the pain will be so great, you'll wonder if it's worth it.
You'll doubt yourself.
You'll doubt those around you.
You'll want to give up.
You'll look at others (colleagues, friends, relatives) who aren't entrepreneurs and are seemingly "happy" and question your decisions.
It comes with the territory. It's inevitable.
But along with all the pain comes the reward.
The freedom.
The exhilaration.
The ability to chart your own course.
The thrill of accomplishment.
And (hopefully) the financial payoff.
To be honest, I've never met a real entrepreneur who didn't jump up after a fall... or who let one failure (or 50) define who he was.
Yes, sometimes, we need encouragement.
Yes, sometimes we stumble.
Yes, sometimes we can barely see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But those who have entrepreneurship running through their veins understand that failures don't define who you are... and... success is only one good idea away.
Dear business owner: Keep being strong and amazing and determined.
If you haven't yet achieved the success you wish for, it may be a lot closer than you realize.
And if you haven't registered for Coptic-Con yet, I'd like to personally invite you to come. Besides hearing great speakers and being around like-minded entrepreneurs and business owners, we can hopefully spend some time together, whether at breaks or in between sessions, etc.
You can still get the EARLY BIRD pricing. Here's the link you'll need: www.copticchamber.com/coptic-con/.
