HI @Arcs

I think that you do not need motivation, but habits. Build some habits that would help your store, and bit by bit they can help you out in the long run.

For example, have a habit of “Search community for tips” and spend 30 minutes or an hour a week on just searching topics with “No sales”. You could learn a lot, but also get some tips to try and implement in your store.

Agreed with @Laza_Binaery on building habits. Chaining up your habit with a trigger, action, and reward can go a long way.

Hey @Arcs

Your customers are out there, it just takes time and consistent effort for them to find you. Keep experimenting, and most importantly, keep dreaming big. The right people will come.

Consistency and the right habits are the key. Also there’s one line that keeps me going through the days. With every hardship there’s ease.

Success isn’t owned, its leased. And rent is due everyday. When momentum fades, I focus on protecting the win.
