I always go back to my why and make sure I’m very clear with it when I am struggling I am the sole provider for my family and also own a company it can be a lot to back to your why and focus there

Looks interesting but is it worth the subscription fee or is it just another LinkedIn?
Subscription fee?
I don’t know anything about a subscription fee…
There was no subscription fee when I joined.
It may not be worth it to you if you aren’t going to utilize it to build a professional network and don’t want to be open to opportunities. If you are going to report legit opportunities plus don’t like people sharing opportunities then it’s not for you
Visualize the future you really want and imagine living in it
Talk with other entrepreneurs
Sometimes venting the stress out to a loved one helps ALOT
Enjoy problem solving and ask people how much value you brought them and how much they enjoyed what you’ve offered them
Remind yourself of why you started and your motivation, never lose track of it
Do it to prove all the doubters wrong and so on
Good luck!
