How To Remain Positive, When Everything Is Going Wrong…

This post has been a long time coming…

Over the past few months, my business has taken some massive hits….

I’ve dealt with the loss of my business & personal PayPal accounts after 17 years of being in business with them (and they still haven’t been told me why my account was shut down). That essentially wiped 80-85% of my income off the table. My partnerships have taken a step backwards. My latest passion (STEEM and crypto) have been diving deep into the seas of red almost daily now since the beginning of the year…

And you know what?

I’m more excited and fired up than I have even been when it comes to online opportunities in business and also in the crypto space!

Yeah you read that right…I’m actually MORE fired up even when things are going horrible on paper…

I wrote this ‘Tweet’ a day ago and it summed up my feelings when it comes to business…

Remaining positive when everything is going bad isn’t really a strategy for the masses…

I guess that’s why entrepreneurs are cut from a different cloth. Let’s be honest…Telling someone that they are going to go through hell and there are no guarantees that they will succeed in the end…Doesn’t breed confidence!

However there is an aspect to entrepreneurship that fires me up and why I’m so positive when things seem so bad…

I KNOW my competition won’t follow through!

I know most people will give up….

Sell their businesses…

Get out of crypto….

Write STEEM off….

Go get a 9 to 5 and write off online business as a pipe dream…

Stubborn? Foolish?

I’m staying the course! I will continue to create in this down market especially here on Steemit because there is now more STEEM to go around for content creators and less people creating. I’ll also be looking at my online businesses and see how I can improve them and develop strategic partnerships as well as build relationships with my customers. I’ve learned a lot over the past 2 decades but the one constant has been…The people!

As long as you put them first, and deliver value daily through your content and engagement…Things will get better!

So maybe I’m dreaming. Perhaps this will all go to zero…

Remember, that your competition ISN’T sticking to it! They WILL give up and that gives you an advantage when things start to improve…It’s a roller coaster, and we’re supposed to have up’s and down’s. Embrace them!

As for the price of crypto and STEEM in general….If you BELIEVE in the product and how it has the potential to change the world…Price doesn’t matter!

We’re here for the technology remember 😉
