As a Christian Parallel-preneur and business owner, I will not believe you when you tell me that there is not a single day that you have not had a bad day. Because we all have. Sometimes we see things not going our way, and sometimes we see all the other entrepreneurs who seem to have it all figured out and for whom everything seems to be going perfectly. Well, think again. They did not know how things really were before they got to where they are now. What they had to go through to get through. Surely they failed so many times, at so many things. Just like you and me.
The journey of a Parallel-preneur is very interesting. It may not always be a pleasure, but there are also times when the challenges seem overwhelming, especially if you have had several setbacks in business, so it’s easy to fail. When the going gets tough, giving up always seems like the easiest option you can think of. You begin to doubt yourself, your abilities, your attitude, and even the things you believe in. Instead of being optimistic, self-doubt gnaws at your heart, and despair sets in.
There will be nights and days when you feel like giving up, but I am telling you to never give up. You are valuable not only as a Parallel- preneur, but also as a human being. People are inspired by you. They may not always tell you, or maybe they tell you the opposite, but the truth is that they always look up to you. There is always someone who needs your service or your products and even you as a person. So before you think about giving up, take a few minutes to think about those people, no matter how many there are. The most important thing is that they are people who believe in you.
Change your negative mindset to a successful mindset.
Whatever you are feeling right now, shake it off, get up and try again. Is not it exciting to work until you drop again for someone who now has your back? Not only does your business bring home the bacon, but it feeds your hunger for excellence and your heart for providing great products and services to the people who truly see great potential in you and believe you can do so much more. How amazing is that right?
If you give up too soon, you could miss out on success. You do not know what you could have achieved and what the world could be missing out on because of you.
I hope you learn something in this post and I hope it inspires you to always believe in yourself and your dreams. Don’t give up.
