A quick mind dump about inspiration through trying times

Originally a journal-like vent on LinkedIn that is worth sharing here, too.


Y'all it's TOUGH for me right now 😮‍💨

Job applications leading to interviews: zero 0️⃣
Freelance opportunities and income: minimal 🔻
My personal projects and startup adventures: going nowhere 🏚️

BUT, three really positive things keeping me motivated:

  1. Further evidence that I need to CREATE what I want in life.
    No one's coming to hand me a silver platter. I gotta dig to find that shit myself.
  2. I'm learning how to do all of this better as I go.
    I'm definitely imposter syndrome-ing a bit with the lack of opportunity, not gonna lie. But that isn't stopping me from researching, learning, and trying new things.
  3. Fantastic colleagues like you have my back 😎

Life, and especially entrepreneurship, is MESSY.

Sometimes I think posts like this can harm your brand. Your message.

I'm trying to manifest a $1 million business, after all! Don't show weakness!

Whatever.
It isn't weakness.
It's trial and error.

Hold my hand, we'll jump off the cliff together!
