Every once in a while as an entrepreneur we feel down. Either the cold call or sales call did not go as planned, prospects are not calling you back or a myriad of other issues which can make you feel depressed. Believe me I know. I go through these motions on a daily basis. So how do we get past these feelings. While I would love to hear from others as to how they get past these issues I will share what I do:
1) I do NOT work from home. Although it is much cheaper and convenient to work from home, I have found a friends office in which I squat. Obviously not everyone has this opportunity, but there are definitely cheap options out there. I know in my area there are office parks which offer full services (copier, Internet, conference space and most importantly and office) for $500. Even if you cannot afford the fee initially it is worth it to save up. The home office, just brings too many interferences.
2) Find a friend that you can commiserate with every once in a while. This friend should ideally be in a similar situation to you. Someone who has recently gone out on their own and is not sure where their next dollar is coming from. If you gripe to each other too often it begins a complaint session rather than a support session.
For now these are the two steps that help me the most.
