When Things Fall Apart!

Let me start with a confession, I was furious for most of yesterday. Not annoyed or mildly irritated—furious. The kind of anger that makes your pulse race and tests your self-control.

I’m sure you’ve been there. Maybe you’ve built anticipation for something, poured your heart into it, only to watch it start shattering before your eyes. When that happens, how do you handle it?

I’ll get to my story in a moment, but first, I’d love to hear yours.

Now, about why I was furious.

Imagine a week long preparation and hype. You’ve rallied your team, invested time, and created buzz. And then, at the last minute, you find out there’s been a miscommunication, and the scheduled video isn’t going live.

The Entrepreneur’s Fork in the Road

At that moment, I was caught between two impulses. On one hand, I wanted to confront the team member responsible, to make it clear how much their oversight had cost us. On the other hand, I was reminded of something powerful, a phrase from the very video we had worked so hard to create:

"Entrepreneurs have the trait of being able to adapt to situations."

Those words stuck with me, cutting through my frustration like a breath of fresh air. Instead of spiraling, I channeled that energy into action. Fueled by this renewed perspective, I sprang from my seat, fired up my laptop, and pulled up the video file. Luckily, I had a version of it saved for editing.

Now, here’s the thing: I had never used CapCut before. But in that moment, nothing was going to stop me. I watched a few tutorials, got to work, and powered through the night. By 4 a.m. West African Time, I was ready to upload the final cut.

And as I clicked "publish," all I could think about was the resilience of entrepreneurs everywhere. The people who keep going, adapting, and pushing forward, no matter what obstacles are thrown their way.

A Message for Dreamers and Builders

If you’re planning to start a business, I want you to watch this video. It’ll help you set the right foundation and mindset for your journey.

And if you’ve already started but feel unsure whether your foundation is strong enough for the growth you envision, stay tuned to this series. It’s designed to shed light on those dark and uncertain corners, helping you refine your path forward.

What Do You Think?

Now, before you go, I have a question for you. What do you think of my video editing skills?

I’m no professional, but I poured everything I had into making sure the message was delivered. Because that’s what entrepreneurship is all about, figuring it out, even when it feels like the odds are stacked against you.

Let’s keep the conversation going. What do you do when everything seems to fall apart? How do you keep moving forward? I’d love to hear your thoughts, and maybe even your own stories of resilience.

After all, this isn’t just about me—it’s about us, the builders, the dreamers, and the doers.

Let’s write the next chapter together.
