The Lonely Labor

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey.

Even when family and friends support you along the way, it’s easy to feel alone. They might not understand your vision, your obsession, or the possibilities you see.

And, if you’ve been an entrepreneur for longer than a minute, you’ve likely fallen into the biggest trap of them all:

Comparing your journey to the journey of others.

You see another laundromat owner flaunting their success, washing and drying machines overflowing with quarters, and you wonder what you’re doing wrong.

It happens more often than any of us would like to admit. 

Entrepreneurship is hard, but it doesn’t have to be lonely.

What if I told you that there are a few strategies you can employ to make running your own business easier? And a few books that can help you cut through the noise and get your mind in the right perspective?

Intrigued? I thought you might be.

In this week’s Wash Weekly, I share my strategy for staying motivated and focused on this entrepreneurial journey.

I include everything from mentoring and self-care to a list of books I recommend for challenging your mindset and helping grow your entrepreneurial knowledge.

Head over to the Wash Weekly website to uncover the entire strategy.

Wow. That Notes To Strangers photo message is spot on, Waleed Cope 🏴☠️. Our brains are wired to worry. We must let that go and not lean on our understanding. We must lean into our higher power. My power and faith are in God. I have to lean on Him to remind me who I am. I love the newsletter book recommendations. Thank you for sharing!
