Time to quit? 🤔

Over the course of my lifetime, I have been doing business. With various levels of success. At first everything was so successful and I was happy and busy and fulfilled. Then things tumbled after the death of my wife.


I have tried starting new ventures but for some reasons I give up along the way.


Right now I have several Business ideas but my self doubts are preventing me from starting them.


What if I fail again? What if I have already lost my charisma? What if I don't generate enough clients? What if my occassional mood swings (from my depression) pushes away employees and clients?


Am at that stage in life where retirement is just around the corner. With all my kids in college I will be totally free. So what will I do with my time?


A couple of years ago I started another business. It was ok for a while and it helped me achieve a lot. And I have never felt so much at peace. But for whatever reasons I let it go to waste. Right now the equipment I had bought are lying to waste. What if it happens again with the new ideas I have?


Am I a failure?


I have seen my peers start and achieve tremendous success over a few years. Why can't I too?


I feel such a waste. Occasionally I feel like just ending it all.


Does anyone really get me?

I’m sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how hard it’s been for you.

I think self-doubts are common when starting new projects, especially a business!

I get how you would be feeling discouraged. Setbacks along the way are a part of the process. <3

Whichever way you choose to move forward is okay💜
