Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and ahhhh

I knew starting a business was never going to be easy.

Today, I feel like I'm the only one who's cares about what I'm doing. But instead of connecting with people on a more personal level, I'm in the background doing all the admin back-end stuff, and doing my videos and post on mental health was enjoyable, now it's all starting to feel overwhelming and frustrating.

I know a big part of that is because I'm doing it on my own.

I just wish I knew I had a little guidance or knew who to reach out to for support.

Then again, sometimes I prefer to work alone, but now I feel so alone🤦

You've run across a situation many entrepreneurs have experienced. You get into business because you enjoy the skill you have to offer, and then you wind up doing all the things to run the business except the thing you loved. I have 3 business and have experienced it more than once. There is help out there. These times are called "growing pains".

Stay committed. It gets better.

@JestAJester it's so overwhelming.. I not giving my self a deadline to be fully set up, I'm just doing what I can while working a full time job 🤷

@missashash2 About all you can do. I make cement vessels but it seems people want them bigger so I have to make my own molds out of buckets and bowls I find. I also had to build a vibrating table to get out the air bubbles. Ive been doing this on my free time for a few months, its a steep learning curve but ive made success

@JestAJester everything is a learning journey. It's stressful sometimes but worth it in the end 😊

If you don't know how to delicate the work to others, you'll keep doing what you are doing

Mark Cuban owns the Dallas Mavericks and is also on Shark Tank,,,,He's a billionaire and is buying parts of different companies to give his knowledge to others in business....how to succeed ....and how to avoid not succeeding....It's a show called Shark Tank....I know the British have the same show or concept but I'm sorry I don't know what it's called....People come on and explain their businesses to the sharks a nd the Sharks ask questions about the business..etc.....You can learn a lot about business jusy by watching the show I enjoy show as well....Good luck!!!

It sounds like a major commitment indeed. No wonder it gets overwhelming... I hope you find a way to manage and enjoy it though.
