Feeling drained

This is the most testing period of my business.

Trying to secure a long-term contract with XYZ, reaching out to clients in publicity, and initiating contact with eminent schools. Above all, awaiting the sentiments of the authorities.

Fear, yet of a different sort from the past.

Back then, stress comes from the fear of being evaluated negatively. The goal was self-esteem.

Now, stress comes from the fear of failing. The goal is survival.

I finally understand why running a business is emotionally draining.

And I'm really only into the 3rd week since launch.
