Entrepreneurship is the best thing I’ve ever decided to pursue but I’d be lying if I told y’all it was easy. Its not easy at all but it’s very rewarding and fun but ghetto at the same time 😂 This picture was taken on Saturday after participated in a vending event and let me tell y’all how exhausted, tired, over it, frustrated, and annoyed I was leading up to this day. Most of the time people like to show the glitz and the glamour of entrepreneurship but what they don’t show or tell you is the struggle. Somedays you’ll make a lot of 💰while other days you won’t 🤷🏾♀️. Sometimes your systems will work for you and the next thing you know you have to change them. One minute you feel like you’re on a high and everything is on the up and up and then BOOM something crazy happens and your head starts spinning. Today your employees or independent contractors might be on their A game and the next day they might go missing. One event you may have 100 people the next you may have 5. Sometimes you have no idea what your days will be like. I say all this to say, don’t let social media fool you, this takes work, patience, optimism, money, the ability to look at “failures” as lessons, etc. So if you’re an entrepreneur don’t be so hard on yourself (I’m talking to myself too) we are all or have all faced the same or similar struggles. Just keep going, in the end you will win as long as you push through and don’t give up! If you’re someone who is considering entrepreneurship I’m here to tell you, don’t let these people online trick you into thinking success happens overnight. Nothing comes instantly, trust YOUR process! Heavy on the YOUR because it’s very easy to compare your business to others...don’t fall into the trap!
