Ascend mountains of the wise; tread valleys of the dead
I've seen many people having a special place on here and thought why not? Although I do journal with a physical notebook, I thought that maybe some of my insights and experiences could benefit others. And maybe help me feel less alone. I probably won't write here everyday, only if I feel I need to.
You might be wondering the title. I have a startup and the title is supposed to symbolize the entrepreneurial journey. The crazy ups and downs, the huge goals, the loneliness and fear. I would like to share my story in progress with others who may also have similar dreams.
Comments are not necessary, but greatly appreciated. Feel free to read silently or provide your own input.
Let the story begin...
My mind drives me crazy. Sometimes I feel like no one will like my products. It hurts very much because I've spent a lot of time sourcing high quality printers and I make sure my designs are great. I know it's stupid to doubt my ideas because competitors and this niche in general sells incredibly well. Of coures people will love my things!
Ugh. The back and forth is crazy. I find it interesting how humans are the only creaturs on this planet who can hold contradicting thoughts at the same time. It drains you. Maybe that's the true meaning of "seaving two masters." You can't hold two concepts of thought and if you do, the stronger one wins.
I have to put more emphasis on the positive. Of course people will love my ideas. Look at the market. Numbers don't lie. I should do reality checks more. It'll save me some trouble.
@persistentartprenuer Good luck on your path of life my friend

Thanks. You too 
Today I'm having emotional trouble. I can tell from the pressure in my head. I'm just planning some possible sales for the year and I'm feeling a little depressed about it. While looking through the long list of weird national holidays, I just felt that 98% of them don't apply to me. What the hell am I gonna do for the year? It feels like the only time I could get sales is from Halloween and Christmas. Then what will I do for the rest of the year? Just rot away?
I did have a thought though. Maybe instead of relying on sales, I could make more limited edition designs. If paired with the right marketing, that could start a frendsy

I guess I'll just rely on my instincts. I have found that they are very good. I always somehow know what to do. I end up making it worse through my worrying. On top pf that I gave myself a headache as well. I should just chill for a bit.
Shit's getting to me today. I had a small time today when I was feeling creative. Now it's gone and I can't concentrate. what's going on? Why does this keep happening? I work out my emotions. Am I not doing it enough? Am I trying too hard? I'm just sabotaging myself. I'm tired of it. I have no one to talk to. Where am I going? Am I just being overdramatic? I want shit to go back to the way it used to when things were more simple. At least for a few days so I can rest properly. I wonder how much more I can take?
I don't want everything I write to be negative, so here I am. On bad days I can look back on this entry to remind myself that all things come to pass. Today's a great day. Why? It just is. Because of that, I got so much work done. Maybe it's because I woke up early and stayed up. I don't know. The point is, I'm great!!!!!!!!!!
