How to Keep Going When Everything Around You is Crumbling

I am writing this article because I have been there. Many people know that when I decided to get divorce I ended up in a shelter with my 4 children. What many do not know is that I had opened up a new business two weeks before I ended up at the shelter.

The night I left the house was the night before my first client meeting.  Looking back I am not sure how I kept going. I know that some people would have put their projects on hold while going through personal setbacks. There are times that I have done that however this time it was different.




I threw myself into my new business, first because I needed the income, second because I would be dammed if I let my ex win.

Let me explain. I left my ex the night before because he came through the door drunk (nothing new) and started to make fun at my new business. He insisted that I had no ability to make money. That I was a loser and would never make it.

I could not crumble.

I moved on and kept on and pushed through my own conceived barriers and worked so hard that from the first month my business was open I recovered my investment and by the second month it was 80% profit.

I read somewhere that “you can make excuses or money but not both”, and I believe that will all my heart.

So my answer to how to be an entrepreneur while everything around you is crumbling? Keep moving, do you and everything will be alright!
