You’ve tried Plan A, Plan B, Plan C—and it could be forever until you stumble across a plan that works for you. We all come close to giving up, willing to settle for less than we deserve because it seems to be the easy way out of a difficult position.

All of us procrastinate—some more than others. Often, when we perceive a particular task to be uninteresting and time-consuming, we turn to activities that offer more enjoyment and instant pleasure.

On the surface, you may perceive goal setting to be a flimsy exercise, something that doesn’t really get you anywhere. Naturally, merely setting a goal isn’t enough to achieve it. However, doing so is the very first step in doing what is required to become the person who can actually accomplish said goals.

At some point in their lives, almost everybody becomes a recipient of a ton of negativity that comes with tough times. We’re not talking having a bad day at work tough, but the intense tough of losing a promotion and facing relationship fallouts and struggling through financial crises.

Everyone has days where they feel like giving up. When life has pushed them to such limits that all they want to do is quit their work, isolate themselves from their social life and come home to burrow in their bed and not move…ever.

So, a while back you started out on your entrepreneurial journey. For a while it was exciting, you were inspired and doing well…till you found yourself balancing too many responsibilities at once, got stressed out and eventually lost your passion.

The life of an entrepreneur is a challenging one. Every day there are new decisions to be made, new roadblocks in their startup’s success, new business relationships to form. It’s not unheard of for entrepreneurs to lose their spirit when things consistently take a turn for the worse.
