One thing that often gets lost in the day-to-day of the entrepreneurial life is the opportunity you have created for yourself. Sometimes you have to take a step back and see how the work you have put in throughout your journey has created significant opportunity.

Even if I had to start from zero, I have learned how pick up my phone and find deals. This knowledge is an asset I created for myself, and it only came to me through time and input across the years. Even in difficult seasons, I am reminded and grateful for this opportunity. No one can take that away from me.

It's important to reflect on the by-products your inputs have led you to, even in difficult seasons of your business.

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of fear and concern around the market. I've been experiencing longer sales times in my own business. But, in my opinion, it's a pretty standard expected market correction.

If you are worried about the market to the point that you're questioning if you should continue your entrepreneurship, I want you to consider your vision and plan. I always say, "plan your work, work your plan". Doing this backwards will cause you to work off of the issues you encounter along the way, when you should be executing based off of your vision for income, time, etc.

Most people don't have a clear plan for their business on paper. Ask yourself, "What does my business feel like in 5 years? What are realistic targets in three years? What are the measurables? What are the actions that move us closer to those goals?". If you have this plan in place, the market should not significantly impact your business.

One of my strengths in this business is building solid teams. As we've grown, we have put great leaders in our team, which has brought a certain level of safety and comfort that has allowed my business to operate very smoothly. Lately, two of those positions left for personal reasons.

When this happens, it leaves us in a tough position. We can either be upset and puff our chest out, or bless and support the people who have served our business for so long. I heard a quote that said something to the effect of, "How you treat your employees on the way in versus how you treat them on the way out is what differentiates you as an employer".

This attitude, in the short term, has increased serotonin levels among the group. But, in the long term, these decisions will lead to more referrals, more people interested in working for our company because we treat our people so well.

We have been gifted an incredible opportunity to lead and work alongside people, to learn and grow together. Eventually these people will come and go, and it feels like a breakup. But, how you treat people in your organization whenever they must leave says a lot about your character as a business owner.
