An Entrepreneurs Dream No Hope, No Future! That Can Not Be Right

How do we move forward from here, covid 19 has put a wrench in our plans and no clear way of how we will be able to move forward. Being an entrepreneur I am use to coming up with solutions to a variety of problems and up until now I have never faced a situation I could not find an answer to. In a way I feel helpless and extremely confused. Am I losing my gift to work my way out of problems, will I survive all of this financially? I sit at home looking at my walls for answers expecting that something will come to light. After a few days of this I realize I am being stupid and I need to come up with a different plan. I start researching past events and current statistical data. I survey the internet for clues and magical cures but nothing pops out. Then I wonder if the world has gone mad and all of this is a massive over dramatized issue.

Now I have moved on to consulting with others in my industry to see if maybe, just maybe someone else has an answer that can help me move forward. But once again, nothing. Lastly I have decided to put the pedal to the floor and just keep working, although I have no clue to what end because I can not invoice anybody for any of this work that I am now doing and it’s a guarantee I will have more bills to pay in 30 days. So what do I do, where can I go, and does anybody anywhere have any answers. My fear is nothing can be done and there are no answers. So I wait and hope that everything will eventually work itself out. I am not a mystic and I never live my life based on unadulterated hope, so this is extremely hard for me to do.

I have made a pact with a few entrepreneurs to stay in touch daily and discuss our options and how we can come out of this above water or even should I dear say better off than we where before covid 19 took over the world. I feel bad trying to find ways that I can take advantage of a very difficult situation but on the other hand what type of entrepreneur would I be if I didn’t at least try. I find myself conflicted regularly and fearful of my future. I realize now things will never be the same and I need to adjust how I think if I want to survive this and whatever else is coming in the future. At the end of the day this is what we do as human beings. We adjust and move forward, those of us that are courageous enough to take extreme chances may lose everything or win big, this is the life of an entrepreneur.

I will keep looking for answers and hopefully come up with a solution that helps everyone and also generates profit. I will not feel bad for this any longer because what I do generates jobs for people and products that enrich peoples lives. I hope I can figure something out or at least change my current model to something that makes sense for the new future we are all facing. The only thing I know for certain is I will never give up hope or stop trying to find a better way of doing things. This is who I am and what I was born to be, an entrepreneur with hopes of one day making a positive difference in the world and with any luck a positive bank account to go with it. For all of us out there that feel like their lives are being torn apart and there may be no hope for the future remember when you first started your business and had no clue on how to get your first customer, how to service your customers and how in the world you where going to do all this work and hire whoever you needed with very little or no money in your bank account. You made it happen then and you will make it happen again, this is what we do, this is when we thrive. Stay positive, keep planning, and believing in yourself, you did it before, you can do it again. This is just a moment in time, we will look back on this one day and say, thank goodness we never gave up.
