Hey guys , I thought I would do a little bit of a different approach . I'm just walking around because I am going through some ups and downs in business and the roller coaster ride has got me going right now , and the best way to describe it is I just needed some time to walk around and think , and the thinking is helping me . Why not shoot a video ?
Why not shoot a podcast and just talk about what's going on ? And the best way I know how to describe it is just to be transparent and upfront with you guys of where I'm at .
I'll probably get up and walk around during this time and see where it takes me , but my thoughts are this Business is tough and when you're in a struggle point of trying to figure out how to make everything work , you have to realize that there's bigger forces out there than you .
Faith , god , universe , all those things play into it and I believe in all of them . But the one thing that I know I struggle with on a daily basis is having faith that this is all going to work out . I hope , I can hope a lot , but I don't have faith and I don't know how faith plays into your business , but I know for me personally and business-wise .
I got into this space to help others . My heart has always been there to help others that couldn't otherwise buy a home . That couldn't otherwise buy a home .
And I think at times that's a struggle to remember because I've got so many other things on my head or I've got other worries , whatever the case is and that's when I really started thinking about I don't have community . I started thinking about I don't have community .
I don't have enough community to help me through the lean times and I don't have community to help me during the , able to share some of the things that I'm going through . And that's a struggle for me .
I don't know about you guys , but that is a struggle that I need to share what's going on in life with other people and I just don't think people should have to put those burdens on others . But when you have a strong community , it works .
I've been struggling a lot with that and last week I went to a small group of like-minded entrepreneurs and it went well . I got introduced . There was about 14 , 13 , 14 people there Got introduced . Some people was able to talk and just connect . It felt good .
I'm going to go back this week and try it , but how this all relates to business guys is for me . I'm really looking at is how do I build myself up , and the only way I know to do that is with other like-minded individuals . It can't be done by myself , because I've been trying to do it that way for far too long and it doesn't work .
It's a struggle every single day to try to do it on your own and I'm taking on every single burden that I possibly can deal with at once and I said this last week is that I want to get what's dealt with in the past off of my today's plate , because it seems like I'm circling back to stuff that was in the past . It's just frustrating .
It's nerve-wracking at times because you're like where do I get everything from ? Where do I make everything work ? How do I take care of everything ? That's the problem , and that's what I'm trying to understand is how do I get everything that I'm dealing with in the past to be moved forward and get past it ?
And I don't have that answer , and I know that is partly from faith . I've got to have faith that it's going to happen , but I also have to understand the things that are happening , for whatever reason . There's some type of lesson in there , and I'm trying to learn lessons in all of this , but sometimes it's just overwhelming , it's too much .
But sometimes it's just overwhelming , it's too much , and the best way I know how to describe this and just again , being as transparent as I possibly can be is it's frustrating . It's like why does this continue to happen ?
When I put my heart into this , I'm trying to do exactly what I intended to do from the beginning and I continue to struggle and I don't have answers other than I have to own . I need community , I need to have faith , I need a God universe .
All that has to come into play and I think for the longest time I've been doing this , trying to do this on my own , and it doesn't make sense at all . I feel like if I have to put my burdens or talk to people about what's going on in my business , I feel like I'm putting a burden on them .
But I was able to share a little bit in the last week's meetup group and it was nice , talking about faith versus hope , and there were some other people that were struggling with the same thing , so it was nice to hear their perspective on it and I was able to get some ideas put together and work on it .
It's a lot , and I'm not saying I'm going through anything unique . I'm sure there's other entrepreneurs that are going through this , other business owners . You could be going through it in your nine to five . It's life , it's all part of it .
I don't know what else to say other than when you're in this space , it's tough to see out , and when you actually find a way to get out , you need to make sure that you are out there sharing it with others to help them , but also being able to actually learn from the situation and see how far you've gone .
And I tend to look back at where I was at to now and there's some great things that have happened . And I've been journaling for a while , so I've been looking at my journal and there's been things that I've asked for , things that I wanted to get through , that I got through . So that's great .
It's just I'm in the midst of the storm right now and it's just a lot going on . And it's just , I'm in the midst of the storm right now and it's just , there's a lot going on and it's tough not giving up .
I'm just sharing with you guys that there's truly options out there to get yourself in a better space , but it starts with faith and you have to believe it , because I do a lot of hoping and that is a huge struggle for me and I don't know . I honestly I don't know how I'm going to overcome that and understand that things will get better .
But all I can do is be consistent and persistent . Like I say on a daily basis , it's just being in the eye of the storm for so long you actually forget what it's like to have some calm and peace , and when that happens , I'm going to be very thankful .
I'm going to really make sure that I tell God that thank you very much for getting me through this but also leaning on more faith , knowing that I can get this done and there's always a way to get it done .
It just might not be the way that I want to get it done or the way I thought it was going to get done , but it gets done and it has a positive outcome . Life and business they're intertwined and we tend to have blurry lines with them , but I think in this instance they're truly . They are separate . In this instance they're truly .
They are separate in this instance , but it actually bleeds over to my personal life , which makes personal life more difficult , and I need to find a way to solve my faith issue and being in that mindset of the secret , you envision it , you ask for it , you pray for it .
However , you want to speak about that and you envision it being in your space , it'll happen . It just doesn't happen on our timeframe and that's the struggle that I have is this is just a lot of items at once to be able to get things done and be able to get through the storm . So , guys , I hope you guys have a great day , have a good one .
