Ever Felt As Though Being In Business Was Meant To Be Better Than This?

Ever seen the original Superman films? He loses his powers. But a shard of crystal from his homeland still had a dull spark. And that brought his powers back to life. Just in time to save the day.

After failing miserably, I certainly felt drained of any power at all. In fact, I still don't believe I found the strength to try again.

I mean all of my dreams in tatters. Overly mortgaged. Far more unhealthy. Lacking in energy.

Why on earth should I even bother trying again.

So why do I feel different? A small spark was still alive within me. Just.

That entrepreneurial seizure that gives you the zeal to break away from employment wasn't just a false alarm. It was real.

But something happened in between. Your first business plan and projections were fantastic.

And then all of a sudden, other stuff happened which got in the way of your goal.

Let me guess if my list was any different to yours:

1) Money

2) People

3) Meetings - what do they achieve?

4) Clients not sharing your enthusiasm and beating down your door to buy

5) The stuff you're not as good at as you thought you were

6) Organising yourself - before you were, now with a million other things to do, you're not

7) Focus - it starts laser sharp, but suddenly you need glasses to keep on track

8) Stuff changes - the market, the product/service you thought you had, the people and clients around you, in fact you too - you change as the reality of what's happening takes a grip

I could go on. But that doesn't help.

You see I failed. And started again. And all the stuff on that list was reversed to be positive. You see I had the benefit of hindsight.

And why am I saying this? Very simply because you can either avoid the mistakes I made, or if you have or are about to fail, consider trying again.

I realise many people would rather run away following a failure.

But this is exactly the right time to re-start. Just when you have the experience and knowledge of what NOT to do, and more importantly, what TO DO.

And if you're struggling, and not yet reached failure, get in touch like others have done.

I don't charge because this is a personal blog and I have a business to run. Nor do I get anything out of it. Except the satisfaction that I've helped people turn things around, or at least given them some support through the rough times.

If I can help you find that spark of life that brings back your powers, get in touch.
