"Running a business as a creative entrepreneur often feels like you're running a marathon—complete with unexpected hurdles, detours, and moments where you question if you can keep going"
Damn, I needed this one, it reflects exactly what I feel when I get burnt out or what I feel when I cannot overcome a struggle in my career.
Man thanks so much for reading and I'm so glad that resonated with you. Being able to pinpoint how you feel in words has helped me so much. Keep going man. It's a marathon for a reason!
Man that’s a lot on your plate bro but I’m sure you’ll find your rhythm! Glad this could be a helpful framework for it. It’s definitely helped me a lot
Temi I don't have the words to express how much I appreciate you writing this. I have these same feelings all the time but this is refreshing to see it explained this way. I feel you - being a creative entrepreneur has its challenges and I'm glad you touched on these key issues.
Am I frustrated because of a gap or hurdle? Increase my knowledge while successfully getting over temporary hurdles. How do I handle barriers and the things out of my control? Make adjustments when necessary and keep moving. When I can answer these questions and understand that barriers, hurdles and gaps are part of the process, making the adjustments don't seem so terrifying. I can create a new plan and continue to stay positive while going through it.🖤
this just made me smile! You get it! Exactly that. It feels better when you can name the issue. Whether it’s a barrier, huddle or gap and adjust accordingly! Identifying what’s in front of you is part of the solution!

LOVED this bro!
I'm finding myself a bit stressed with:
• The start of the school year (I work as a PE teacher and Athletic Director)
• Grad school classes beginning
• Figuring out where I'd like to take my newsletter
I'll be reflecting and labeling the challenges and circumstances associate with each base on the framework you shared!
Thanks so much Jamal!

Exactly and if I refuse to correct the issues that I am capable of fixing, then nothing gets done and I'm the problem. 😮💨
