Hello Everyone
I joined some times ago the fastlane forum, It was on february 2013, And I was the most ambitious I've ever been in my life, everything seemed to be possible and I was the only thing it would depend on, But a lot of things changed in my life since and I'm now in a situation I'm having a hard time to overcome .
You won't hear me cry or complain about anything on this thread, This is not the reason why I'm writing right now, But I really need your help, this is a fact !
I've had a terrible 2013 year, even if it started on a great note, A lot of project, things were getting on the right lane, I even had a great discussion with Mr DeMarco about his book translation, When suddenly I lost a very close member of my family, on april 2013,
Since this day, I'm having a really hard time, As some of you may know, dealing with this kind of sadness is something really difficult to overcome, But I decided to be strong and continue what I had started, Everything was pretty difficult, because you can't really get your mind on your project without getting lost, anyway I tried, this is too important, my future is not something I could give up ..
I started to make a new product, which was manufactured in China, the selling were really encouraging and I started to have more and more orders . Great !
4 months later, the factory in which my products were made got flooded and devastated by a Typhoon, destroying at the same time the original samples and all the molds, I didn't have the fund to be prepared for such a situation. I received the last pieces of what had been saved and decided to give up on this project since it was almost impossible to find the original sample, and manufacturing it in another factory would have been way too expensive.
Then, this is not the most important thing, but my hairs start falling some weeks later, at age 21 , that's not a drama, but I didn't need that.
A month ago, my Grandmother got diagnosed a Cancer, she is my neighbor as I'm still living at my mother's house, and I've seen her everyday since forever, Seeing her getting weaker and weaker is difficult, My mother is really tired as she had to take care of her, and also work everyday, my father lost his job, And I'm just here, asking myself how am I going to make all of this change while people thinks I'm not working since I don't have a JOB
I've been working on a new product that I received some days ago, which seems really promising and could get me where I want if things are going well, With a very low manufacturing cost for a decent selling price but I'm just not as excited as before, ambition is still here, but not the motivation because everything seems so flat .
As I said, I don't need pity, And I'm not doing this for attention, My life is not a nightmare at all,
I just want to have advices since I'm not the only one getting into these kind of situations . And some of you are older,wiser, have gone through worse and would certainly have perfect advices on how to handle and get through these life's steps and go forward in my projects and professionnal life without turning crazy .
From now on, What would you do if you were me to bring my motivation back ?
Thank you for reading this long post
