One of the hardest things that creatives and other business owners have to deal with is running our businesses when life gets in the way. Our personal life is never a straight line and when there’s a bend without being able to see what’s next, it can take a toll on our professional life if we let it. I know you may think that your story is different and that no-one else has to deal with death of a loved one, divorce, being single, getting married, moving, disease of a loved one, having a child or just feeling down in general. Guess what. We all do, we all get slowed down by life roadblocks but only those who develop resilience and stubbornly go ahead at times accepting slower pace will thrive. I’m not encouraging you to shake things off. This doesn’t seem sustainable. Accepting our feelings and processing what we have to process is necessary. It’s important to realize that we need to run our business in parallel. There’s no point in waiting for something to pass because there will be something else to deal with ahead.
