My business has been doing okay. I am working to automate it, but that is incredibly hard within itself. Finding good people I can trust to do things is hard among other issues.
Personally I am struggling bad. Everything I make is reinvested into the business. I work 24/7 just working on my business. Not always sales, but working on systems. researching, figuring things out. Ie: How do I get receipts for my customers? Seems dumb, but before this I never had a clue. I had to figure it out.
I have no income coming in. Reinvesting my money into the company is a huge reason why my company has done so well. I have some small savings, but after this month its gone.
Watching hundreds, thousands, be reinvested into the company hurts. It is hard fighting the temptation to take some. I made $300 today, I am sitting here staring at it. I know what the money could be used for company wise. I also know what bills it could pay off. I know I could take some, but I do not want to.
My question is this. For you successful guys out there, as you progressed, did it just seem more possible? I am not killing it. But as I go on it feels closer and closer. Like I know I will get there. It seemed impossible in the past. But now I have a strong feeling inside I will get there. As each part of my business is built, or automated. I feel closer. I do not know how to explain it. Today sucked, it was my birthday but I spent it doing a job for a customer. It was 106 degrees outside. But no matter how much it sucked I thought about the company. The company itself pushed me. It's not money for me, its money for my business to grow. Once it grows enough it will pay me. Even a small amount of $300 grows the business ever so much. I'm working like a slave for my company so it will work for me in the future.
Anyone ever feel like that?
