How can you build resilience when starting a new business?

I’d also add to this be ready and prepared to make mistakes along the way. This is a huge part of running your own business and taking stock of what works/what doesn’t, so failing at something will teach you an important lesson within your business. You can also give yourself feedback - try to take a step back from things and look at your business with an outsiders perspective, asking yourself the hard questions and challenging yourself to use this to make the business better.

Building a company is one of the toughest things you can do professionally. It requires patience, grit and commitment. You need to be able to ride the lows as much as you ride the highs, don’t get too excited, and don’t get too affected, being aware of your emotions is very helpful in the process.

Don't let uncertainty paralyze you. Instead, let's turn it into your secret weapon. Here's how: 1. Let Go: Let go of the idea that you can control everything. Embrace the unknown as the crazy, exciting adventure it is. Instead of trying to predict the future, focus on what you can control: your actions and reactions. 2. Small Wins Are A Superpower: Break down your goals into bite-sized chunks. Hitting those small targets will build your confidence and keep you motivated. 3. You Only Need To Be Right Once: Fail fast, fail often. Experiment, try new things, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. (No one gets entrepreneurship perfect the first time!) You only need to be right once for your life to change.

In my POV, this might be the biggest challenge within this whole process as it involves a mindset shift, setting realistic expectations, continuous learning, and adaptability. We can build resilience by enriching a strong network, practicing financial prudence, and scenario planning. While we are on this, let's focus mainly on what we can control, celebrate small wins, and develop resilience skills. Never forget to prioritize self-care, take an iterative approach, and seek feedback. And always remember entrepreneurs can navigate challenges, learn from failures, and position their businesses for long-term success as much as the resilience plan is mature.

Celebrate Small Wins I am not a party woman, but I like to celebrate every win no matter how small. Tell yourself that you deserve it! It doesn't mean that you brag or boast, but it can motivate others to follow your path and succeed, and it will help you boost your energy and aim high. Celebrate yourself and don't forget to celebrate others. Remember, successful people don't feel jealous of others' success, instead it made them happy to see them succeed and motivate them to work more smarter than others. Your perception decides your success.

When starting a new venture, fight the temptation to spend money on every little idea. You’ll quickly burn through valuable cash and more than likely have nothing to show for it.
