    Hey Fellow entrepreneurs! I just wanted to say and encourage those of you who have great passion for your business idea and your business model is right, PLEASEEEEEE keep going with your venture! No matter what you do in this life, it will be difficult at the beginning, and requires time and effort before you will see results. This video is in NO WAY designed to discourage small business owners from continuing to hustle. Instead upon reflection, I just had to come to terms that my time and effort was better used elsewhere - it wasn't being invested in the right place. So keep smashing it if your time and effort is in the right place. You may be one order/booking away from a breakthrough x

    Thank you for sharing this Ire. I 100% relate as i closed my first business few months ago after a year and a half of very hard work, persistency, thousands of pounds invested in the business, including getting business coaching, yet nothing. I made the hard decision to close up as like you i realised it was simply not the right business FOR ME. Even though peoole thought and still think i'm crazy for closing it i believed it was the right decision. Few months later i still believe it's the right decision as for one, it's freed me up to think of better ideas and spend my time with family & other ventures. You articulated my thoughts so well in this video👏🏼👏🏼. I recently came across your channel as i'm learning about project management👏🏼👏🏼.

      Girl I’m glad I ain’t the only one. And honestly I think it’s the best thing to do sometimes. Take the emotion out of it and go back to stage one , learn from mistakes and smash it the second time around: happy for you girly 🙌🏾

    I think this depends on whether you enjoy the process or not. There are few successful businesses that get it right at the start ( Apple, Disney etc) If you enjoy what you do, profit wont be your only motivation.

    • @pitolinmotion
      @pitolinmotion  Рік тому

      Hey Yerp, not disregarding that. I also know that all the big ceos had failed businesses before they actually struck gold with the brands we know and love today. This just wasn’t my ‘apple’ that’s all, and had to let it go. May be every different for other people
