A couple of months go by - the roller coaster starts. You start doubting your decisions; you don't know who to ask, you wish you hadn't spent all that money on fancy pens to hand out. You start losing sleep. You didn't think it was going to be this hard.

You've been living by the saying, "Fake it until you make it."

Your faking is wearing you out - doubt starts creeping in.

At The Launch Track, we are here to support you on your journey of entrepreneurship.

Has our journey been perfect - heck no - and anyone who tells you their business journey

was a breeze is lying.

It's natural to have highs and lows; it's natural to have some sleepless nights, wonder why did I start this business. We've all been there. However, there are some lessons I wish I didn't have to learn the hard way. The super expensive ones - the Gosh I wish someone would have told me not to do XYZ or I could have bounced some ideas off of someone else.

Every business is different, everyone's path is probably going to be slightly different, but some fundamentals are valid across all industries. Wouldn't it be nice to learn the fundamentals and not have to recreate the wheel? Learn how to organize your clients correctly from the beginning; know what to ask when hiring a marketing person, talk about your business in a concise manner. Have real conversations that aren't discouraging but give you the power you need to move your business in the direction of success --- whatever that means to you --- dollars, freedom of time, impacting your community, creating purpose in your life.
