It’s very strange how all of the stress associated with getting some sort of approval from Facebook and Instagram can just burn you right out.
The intensity of the worry and concern and trying so hard to get the approval just zapped me.
It’s like reaching the top of the mountain and not having any urge to go back down to celebrate lol.
So yeah, that one Shopify site. Mission accomplished. I think it took me a week or more to decompress from the struggle. The sincere struggle and insanity of it all which is out of your control because the process is not a process. It’s you at their mercy. Directions are clear as mud. You just do the best you can and cross your fingers.
Now I’m in reboot mode to restart the war lol. No, it’s not war lol. But I feel like the wind got kicked out of me so that it was hard to do the next steps.
This? This is why every one is not an entrepreneur. You have to have an impossible amount of stick-to-it-iveness lol.
And I read an article yesterday that the whole 10,000 hours to mastery is now a crock of you know what because we have to just think on our feet nowadays to succeed.
The kinds of traits that made people successful in the past no longer work to our advantage unless you’re in a very specialized field like brain surgery.
You have to be inventive and roll with the punches and not expect routine or patterns. You know who succeeds in this type of environment? The anti-student lol. Well, that’s not wholly true, as you have to be a quick study.
And you have to be able to dust yourself off and keep going even if there’s no clear path. You just have to put one foot in front of the other and do your best. Because everything is in flux.
You don’t put in your 30 years and retire with a nice watch or clock.
You keep moving.
And from everything I’m reading, Shopify is poised to keep doing that and be the next megillah, rivaling Amazon. I don’t have to read the people doing the analysis, I see it in my every day intereactions with their staff.
They are effing on top of things at Shopify. It is power. They are a force to be reckoned with even if no, not everything they do is perfect. They get it though. They get the tech. They get the customer service. Frankly, I don’t see how they can lose.
But it’s not a magic bullet if you don’t do your due diligence. You have to keep plugging away and not get frustrated at the little setbacks.
This is me. Trying. Reboot. Let’s do this.
