HOW TO COPE WITH THE UPS AND DOWNS OF A STARTUP BUSINESS

  How to cope with the ups and downs of a startup business

Entrepreneurship is a roller-coaster. From a distance you see the ride and get excited.

You think about when you invest your life savings into a idea on a napkin. It can be very scary. The people that work 9am-5pm can seem the sane way to go. When you get on a roller-coaster there is an upward slope. Remember you just did not look at the ride, you was brave enough to hop on it. Well don't stop until you get the reward.

If you're an entrepreneur on the journey of a startup business I have 3 tips for you

Know Your Why

Define the true why of your work and keep it in the front of you and your team at all times. Remind yourself daily of your why. Post it on your wall in your room. Don't keep checking Facebook. Your friends and family members will be posting exciting things that they are doing. You will wonder, why you are working on your business, instead of having fun. Don't stop until you get your reward. You will get to do exciting things later. 

Surround Yourself With Entrepreneurs

Find a group like the Entrepreneurs organization and dig in. Like minded people may have ideas and input that could make your slope on the roller-coaster shorter. Talk about what you are going through. By talking to someone that is flying high in there field, it will give you confidence to soar.

Celebrate

When you reach goals, celebrate. You may look in the mirror and say I'm the only one hear at my party. Well at least you have a party. Some people don't have anything to celebrate. You only reach heights in life when you celebrate small victories. 

Entrepreneurship is not easy, if it was easy everybody. Folks grandmother and great-grandmother would jump on. 

Remember, the slope separates success from wannabe success!
