Stick to Your Business Plan

Every morning when you open your eyes do you feel thankful?

Today I opened my eyes and felt sleepy. Thing is, I went to sleep early last evening (around 1030). It’s not that I am not thankful for the new day and new hopes and prospects, it has nothing to do with that for me. But, I am feeling a bit weary in well doing. I got attacked by a naysayer again. They’re out there - so watch for them if you have a dream, because they will attempt to squash you like a bug. The bad thing is, most of the time these naysayers are close loved ones. It doesn’t even matter if you have always been encouraging or supportive to them. They may not grasp positive reflection.

The attack came yesterday when I was reminded that I don’t have orders bogging me down. Probably wasn't meant maliciously. I came back with, one day soon I will have that many and more orders. But then I started thinking what if I never get any orders? I have put so much time and effort into this business. I don’t have the funding to back me when it comes to the necessary PR so I try other avenues and have to depend on others who I can’t pay right now. And no I don’t have orders bogging me down. How much and how long does one go when one doesn’t have the support of a loved one or how long can one listen to the naysayers whose words cut even if they are true?

I’ll say this from a place deep inside my heart. I appreciate everyone who has supported me in the building of l’Amore Intimo (especially the readers who commented so positively on yesterday's post, I needed that boost) - it’s a viable venture and I will work hard and do all that I can to build it, even if that means having to cut loose the naysayers. You can’t go forward if you allow negativity to drag you backwards.

To all you entrepreneurs out there - stick to your business plan, know when it’s time to revise it, and don’t stop believing. I won’t stop.
