And in the world of ambitious entrepreneurs, I&#8217;ve made some amazing biz besties along the way who have felt the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running a business is hard especially with so many other situations like family, jobs, and money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nustreamdesigns.xyz\/ATB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/That-Feeling-of-Wanting-to-Give-Up-on-Your-Business.png\" alt=\"That Feeling of Wanting to Give Up on Your Business\" class=\"wp-image-2934\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sometimes you wonder, &#8220;Why am I doing this?&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wanted to share my story on giving up because I came so close to throwing in the towel, but I&#8217;m so glad that I didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November of 2018, I was extremely discouraged. There was barely any money coming in, yet I was overwhelmed with things to do. I had no motivation to do anything business related. There was this huge cloud of doubt and fear following me everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I even contemplated what I would do instead of being a content writer and social media strategist. Let&#8217;s just say that being a Sims 4 gaming streamer, sounded really good at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So here I am, depresses, stressed and looking for what&#8217;s next.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has happened to me before when I was so anxious and sad that my business seemed impossible and I knew it would happen again. So, I had to make a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I could just do what my mind is telling me and give up. Or I could accept that I feel this way and keep moving with what my heart desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You see, running a business is a huge risk.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, naturally our brains try to keep us safe from big risks. And it will throw anything our way to keep us from danger. But, it&#8217;s up to us to tell our brains that we are safe and this is a good risk to take (even when it doesn&#8217;t feel that way to us).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Related Post:<a href=\"https:\/\/atbsocial.com\/2018\/10\/24\/self-care-guide-entrepreneurs\/\"> Self Care Guide for Entrepreneurs: Cleveland Influencer Event<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Okay, so I did something I literally never do.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I opened up and shared with my biz besties, my family any stranger who would listen that I was struggling (pause for gasps). There were tearful sessions with my business coach and I even hired a mindset coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is unlike me. I&#8217;m not someone who shares their struggles, but I realized this was necessary for my healing and to be able to bounce back from what I was dealing with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me tell you. When I did this, it was like i was telling the universe, &#8220;You can&#8217;t get rid of me that easily. I was made for this.&#8221; And then the universe was like, &#8220;Okay girl! I was just testing you, let&#8217;s get back to killing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, I started getting new clients, partnering on some amazing collaborations and feeling better about all the things. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">December 2018, I had my first 4 figure month!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">January 2019, I&#8217;m already set to pass that. If I would&#8217;ve given up, I wouldn&#8217;t have know what&#8217;s in store for me. I wouldn&#8217;t have found my killer clients that make me excited about my business. I wouldn&#8217;t have this exact opposite overwhelmingly good feeling about the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That feeling of giving up is normal, natural, and apart of the process. What makes us successful, is our willingness to push past it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re an entrepreneur, it&#8217;s pretty likely that you&#8217;ve contemplated the idea of giving up on your business.
