I started my digital marketing business in January and was really excited.
In 3 months I pulled in 10k in revenue... this was behind what I anticipated.
My main drive was to find work for a contractor who is an amazing graphic designer and website developer. I was pulling in work for him and holding back taxes and 20% for myself.
Things felt promising.
Now, he's left because he doesn't feel motivated anymore and I'm minimally skilled in our value proposition.
Business has slowed, and I'm left feeling completely demoralized and like I never should have tried this entrepreneurial road.
I'm getting FB and Instagram ads for all kinds of SEO, marketing, funnel packages and have been barely holding myself off from buying everyone I see.
I told my partner this morning that I was ready to give up, that maybe this was a mistake.
Have I just been action faking so far? I've invested a website, emails, various design subscriptions etc.
I feel like 3 months ago I was unstoppable.
Now I feel dead in my tracks
