The Path

TWT Newsletter #19

The path of being a solopreneur or an entrepreneur is a lonely path, but you realized the path this leads to will serve your higher purpose and bring the wealth you’ve always wanted. Isn’t that right?

Many people don’t understand the path of solopreneurship/entrepreneurship. From an outside perspective they only see the overnight success, but can’t comprehend the doubt, fear, hardship, and sacrifices that come with it.

Sure you may be surrounded by your loved ones, friends, family, and your spouse, but they don’t know the battle and challenges you take on daily.

Life will keep hammering you with opportunities disguised as problems and hardships.

How I see life is that there are two roads. One road is already paved and well maintained, while the other is dark and you can barely see past 2ft feet. The first road describes the path that the crowd takes and it’s nice, but you’ll be just like everyone else. The other is one where a solopreneur takes and leads to a fulfilling life. On the path least traveled, you're going to be in the dark a lot. Just trying to keep moving forward with incremental steps. Sometimes you see a burning tree or car on the road, you hear/feel pain as you keep walking through this path. This is my experience on the path as an entrepreneur. But the thing is the destination once you reach it will be so worth it. You will not regret the decision you made at the start. Rather than following the crowd and following the path already set for you. You took a chance and went with your gut.

There will be many ups and downs in this journey. And the best systems and processes I have in place are these Actionable Things. I do daily that has helped me maintain my well-being, persistence and discipline on this road:

Writing & Journaling

Whether it be in a journal or a clean sheet of paper, use writing/journaling as a creative outlet and emotional compass. Write as much as you can early on in the day. Start with how you want to feel today and start shifting your emotions along with your mindset to match that desired frequency. Hold this frequency throughout the day. If needed repeat this process mid-day and at night.

Meditate (Guides or Non Guided)

There’s been numerous studies about meditation reducing stress and anxiety as well as promoting more self-awareness. You’ll be surprised how a quick 3 to 15 minutes you spend meditating will change your perspective and frequency in this world. I do both types of meditation, but enjoy guided ones in the morning. The current one I listen to on youtube is this one (Not a paid ad or anything).

Daily Walk/Run with Sunlight

Taking time to go on a daily 30 minute walk or run in the sunlight has significantly regulated not just my health, but my discipline. The more you do something consistently, especially something that is uncomfortable for you, it builds more confidence. This confidence compounds and maintains discipline for you to take more actions that align with this identity. The identity that your “Someone who does something hard and something that improves their quality of life.”

Envision The Endgame

The thing that’s going to keep you going is knowing your endgame. This starts with knowing your Why, the deeper your why is, the more you can envision your end game. You must envision how your endgame serves that purpose. For example, a part of my endgame is to retire my mom. She has worked extremely hard, always 2 jobs, making many sacrifices as well as providing the opportunities I have here in the states. Why and how I envision my endgame is in fine detail through a series of questions. How am I going to retire her? What does her retirement look like? Along with that having all her wants/needs served. These are the questions you need to ask yourself and then start imagining it and then realizing it.

Finally, incorporate these things into your life and keep taking steps on the path. Know your actions are leading you closer to your end game. I’m rooting for you and have a great day.
