I was having a conversation with a successful entrepreneur about business, and we talked a little bit about my journey: basically, I started at Digital Marketing about four years ago, failed, failed, built an Instagram account with 39k followers, and made a little bit of money, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, still failing. And, while some people I know are going to college, I`m still pursuing this dream of building a successful business and failing at it.
I invested thousands in self-help, therapy, books, courses, and mentorship because I`m obsessed with self-mastery, I just want to be the person I dream of being, and I`m not sure my quitting my dream of becoming an entrepreneur will get me closer to this desire.
I`m not a victim, I failed multiple times and it`s all my fault: not studying and just working, not having the courage to apply advanced strategies, depression, victimhood, porn addiction, self-sabotage, anxiety, studying but not working hard enough... you name it, there are about a thousand reasons why I'm still not successful.
There's a lot of pain in those words. I'm sure I won't quit, but how long will I keep trying? It's even worth the effort? I am talented when it comes to learning things in general, especially languages, I could be going to college so that I can have a good life, but I just don't accept quitting on my vision of building a business.
Hi Higor, you know it better than I, it's only when you quit that your chances of succeeding at building a successful business approach 0. So, NEVER QUIT. Even if you do something else, which might be a good idea to always have a fall back plan, you can still work on your project slowly but surely in the evenings or weekends. Now, imagine how inexperienced you where when you started and what you've gathered along the way from all your attempts. Your failures to build a business didn't bring you the results you wanted, but think about how much you learned from them. That's no joke, no course or book can teach you that. If you had to retry building the things you did, you would do it much better and much faster. It's unlikely to succeed early, because we don't understand how things work, lots of energy, but little know-how. Reading your text, it is evident that you have a lot of energy and if you manage to focus it on your projects for a long time, you have all your chances. All the best!
Wow, I truly needed to read that. I
