When you run a business, it is hard. Period!
Keep going no matter what! It may seem that you have hit bottom or have no place to go but keep going. If you are reading this, you are already winning because whatever has you stumped, stuck, sad, scared, or worried has not taken you out. If it did, you would not be fighting back with this message I am writing specifically to you.
YOU ARE A WINNER: In life, when someone like you is on their way to the top, people will either try to downplay your success or may try to ride your coattail. So they latch on, and it gets heavy. Let them folks go. That extra weight is not helping.
YOU ARE A WINNER: In life, when someone like you is on their way to the top, people will try to force doubt upon you because they could not do it and think it has to be the same for you too. So they call out your weaknesses because acknowledging your strength highlights their weakness. Do not let the blind lead you. They are blind for a reason.
YOU ARE A WINNER: In life, when someone like you is on their way to the top, people will try and question your motives. No one knows what is in your heart; if they did, they would be called a Doctor. So do not let anyone question what your passion is. You keep going.
Lastly, WINNERS have to accept that because they are winning, it means people will lose or are losing. Losers will make you feel guilty for their lack of ambition, but that is not your fault or your problem. It is theirs. So remember, when you are above the pack, you are the easiest entity to point to and pick on. Ignore them. Do not look down; look up to where you are heading.
Keep on going, and you will find that these folks do not matter. YOU ARE A WINNER!
