ENJOY THE PROCESS OF BEING A WORK IN PROGRESS

When you first start a business, you typically have no idea what you're doing, so you'll just fight until you get to the other side. It is also well known that making your business profitable in the first year is difficult. That also means that every day will bring new problems for you to deal with in your personal life, knowing that all of your time will be spent on making the business viable in the early days by shipping good products, spreading the word through content, and contacting people one by one to persuade them to buy your product. At the end of the day, you'll have no energy and very little time to cope with the problems in your personal life.

Daily life's problems doesn't give a damn about your goals or business; every day that passes will bring something new. Problems with your health, expenses to pay, another person who needs your assistance, etc. All of this, despite the fact that making a profit in the first year or so of a new business is rare.

In the short-term, time will always be against you, but what about in the long run? If you put in the time to improve your business one day, you'll eventually get to the other side. Nobody can tell you how much time you'll need to be lucrative, but even if you're bad on a daily basis, you'll grow better over time, and you'll finally be good and earn great results. Time can be your ally in the long run.

We must learn that patience is essential in business, and we must understand that time will not be kind to us in the early days or years.
Time will always work against us in the short term, but it may be our ally in the long run if we learn how to be patient.
