As entrepreneurs and business owners there is going to come a time that you start feeling frustration while you are working on developing your businesses. Now because of this it's important that you have a support system in place, but we will get into that in a minute.
First let's look at two of the possible reasons that you may be getting frustrated.
1. No sales or traffic.
This is one that I have personally have dealt with and still deal with daily. We all know that for any business to be profitable it needs sales and in order to get sales you need traffic. To get traffic you need to promote your company. Now traffic is important for any business but it's the lifeblood of any online endeavor.
2. Generating traffic.
With this you have two options.
You either buy traffic, and that can get expensive, or you try to get free traffic, and that can be hit or miss. Right now this is my biggest stressor because I have several affiliate programs that I promote and for those to work you need traffic to make sales. There are multiple ways to get free traffic. One well known way we already do, and that is using social media and marketing your site or company that way. The easiest way to find other places to promote is to do a Google search and see what you come up with.

As I mentioned earlier having a support system in place is imperative. As it allows you to have someone that will listen to you and also give you encouragement to keep going. Entrepreneurship is hard and it sucks at times, but you can make it through. As you know I have a wife and she is my rock at times, especially on this journey, and last night we were talking and I told her that I was frustrated and why. She gave me some really good advice. She basically said don't worry about the few followers that you lost because you will recover from it, but instead celebrate how far you've come, and that is what is important. To learn from your mistakes, and celebrate your gains. So frustration is natural and to be expected in this life, but don't give up. Rely on your support system and you'll make it through.
