5 Ways to Power Through Difficult Times

Table of contents

Entrepreneurs are the biggest dreamers on the planet. We are slightly crazy at times, but that’s what gives us the ability to “go for it” while others sit back thinking, “This might not work out as planned.”

Being an entrepreneur can be an emotional rollercoaster. We often experience fear, stress and anxiety. Sometimes we do fail. Not every startup idea is a unicorn. In fact, . There are going to be difficult times throughout every entrepreneurial journey. Here are five ways to remain highly motivated when the going gets tough.

1. Have a purpose.

Have a larger purpose, far beyond just your business. Once identified, use your entrepreneurial journey as a means to fulfill it. 

There is no right or wrong purpose. Some might want to be able to start a charitable foundation that supports a specific cause, such as cancer research. Other people might want to start a family, and build a larger house. Some might want to travel the world. There are unlimited examples. Whatever yours is, make sure you write it down and look at it daily.

When you have something to work towards, and it consumes your mind, it makes the difficult times and situations much easier to confront and deal with. 

2. Surround yourself with a strong support system.

Often times when faced with difficult situations, our friends and family become our sounding board. The biggest hurdle most entrepreneurs have to overcome is being able to ask for advice when it’s needed. We are a very proud and sometimes stubborn group. Once you get over the initial fear of asking for feedback and advice, it becomes clear that your support system can help you get through even the most difficult times.

Talk to your friends and family on a regular basis if you don’t live near them, meet up weekly with friends to socialize, and consider hosting a weekly family dinner for your closest friends and family members. Positive energy is contagious, constantly interacting with positive individuals that have your best interest in mind is very healthy. 

3. Press pause.

Many entrepreneurs assume that if they face a tough time, the only way to power through it is by working 20-hour days until it has passed. If you work nonstop, it’s just going to make difficult times worse, and you will experience burnout.

Not only will pressing pause and getting away from your business allow you to recharge your batteries, but there is a good chance you will come back with amazing ideas for your business. When you are unplugged for a few days, it allows you to think more clearly than you would if you were head first in the daily grind. 

I recently , and it was on that trip that two new startups were conceived — a and a — both launching this November. We also have another half dozen products rolling out over the next few months, and all of them were ideas that were sparked on this trip.

4. Don’t give up your hobbies.

A hobby away from work is a great way to break up the constant stress and worrying an entrepreneur endures. The time away, focused 100 percent on your hobby, is healthy for you, as well as your business.

Whether it’s fishing, playing a weekly round of golf or hiking, make sure you don’t give up what you love to spend all of your time working. I’m guilty of putting my hobbies on ice because of work and just recently started to incorporate them back into my life.

5. Always make yourself priority number one.

Difficult times are extremely stressful, which can really have a negative impact on your health. Always make yourself the number one priority, because if you aren’t around, who is going to run the business?

Get regular exercise, eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and get quality rest every night. Feeling healthy and full of energy will make it much easier to deal with tough times.
