Feeling lost - would love insight (alien.top)

Sorry this is long and I am not trying to complain whatsoever, I’m just feeling more lost than ever and I’m hoping some caring strangers on the internet can help tell me to get my shit together. So here it goes:

I’m sure this is normal in entrepreneurship but I’m feeling lost and wondering if I’m going down the right path at all. I feel like there’s some badass brand in me and I’m meant for greater things, but I constantly second guess myself and question my “why”. Not to sound narcissistic but I have experience/skills in a lot of different areas, especially with small business. I’m a creative and kind of someone that hyper fixates and tries to be a serial entrepreneur. And I love working with small business but I feel like there’s a million different ways I could help them. I’ve worked with business coaches, joined group communities, and I feel more lost than ever because none of them just felt like what I needed. (Not blaming it on these groups — this is all on me.) Its almost to the point that I wish I could create a community of people who are in my same situation and who are tired of being sold just “post on social”. Like have I been brought to this point to do something like this?

Anywho that’s my spiel. I would love to hear the ups and downs of anyone else who is also navigating something similar.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

What you're experiencing is normal. Keep going. It sounds like you enjoy the building aspect of business, but the sales and marketing part isn't exactly your cup of tea. This is the case for most people who want to actually help others. You're probably not a pushy person, nor do you feel comfortable haggling with others. On the other hand, you love the before and after of a project. You love the smile on someone's face when things go well.

Hang in there, and try to figure where you need to make some adjustments so you can push forward.
