Intro:

Welcome back everyone, this week I will be discussing the obstacles and setbacks of any business. I will define what an obstacle is and give you examples of some of the obstacles that you may experience.

I will then do the same for a setback so that you will know better how to define for yourself what an obstacle or setback truly is and how they are different from any failure that you may perceive you are experiencing.

I will then go over how to avoid them and how to work around them. I will also go into how to deal with any disappointment or let downs you may face.

So without further ado that jumps on it.

Defining an obstacle:

So what is an obstacle? It is something that obstructs or hinders progress. Almost everyone has experienced some sort of obstacle through their own life experience.

We all run into obstacles from time to time in our lives. The same can occur with any business endeavor you may be involved in. Some of these obstacles could be

• Account complications
• Not enough finding
• Distribution issues
• Lack of knowledge
• Lack of resources or tools

Anyone of these could be considered an obstacle and could hinder your progress. Now that we have taken the time to define what an obstacle is that looks into what a setback is.

Defining a setback:

Aset back is defined as a change in progress. Sound a lot like an obstacle, Right?

It has its difference an obstacle is something you have to work around where a set back is something you will have to be patient for. Patients can be a hard thing to deal with but unfortunately, it is a requirement whether in daily life or business.

Some of the setbacks you may face in business could be

• Delays in funding
• Delays in contracts
• Delays in shipments
• rescheduled meetings
• Coming down ill

Any of these could be a setback that could put you behind schedule in your day, week, or even month. So are there ways to get around or avoid altogether some of these obstacles or setbacks?

I would like to say “Sure there is. “ but the truth is that all things can be avoided. Let talk about a few of the things you could do.

How to avoid them:

• You should always start by taking thing slow at first
• You should take it one step at a time building on the progress as you achieve it.
• Always be well prepared before taking the step.
• Draw from the skills and knowledge of others.

These are ways to avoid any setback or obstacle you may face by simply being prepared and only moving to the next step after the previous step has been achieved but as I stated before you will not always avoid the setbacks or obstacles.

How do you work around them:

So what are some of the things that you can do to work around them? You could do any one of these suggestions.

1. You can not allow any of your setbacks or obstacles to make you feel defeated or like you are a failure. When you allow this to play out in your mind you are only setting yourself up for more of the same.
2. You could simply start looking for the solution. Every problem as a solution if you only look for it.
3. You can recruit help or support new ideas and perspective. This is also a great way to help you get outside your own disappointments and focus on a new avenue or approach that could work better for you.

The greatest way to come past anything in life is to just not give up. As long as you do what you can as you can at some point you will find success.

Dealing with disappointment and let downs:

So how can you deal with the disappointment of not finding success the way you thought you would? You can see things as they are for starters.

This is not the end, only one way that didn’t work. This is just a learning experience and the more you learn today, you can teach tomorrow.

I know that sounded a little corny but it is true.

You can simply remember a moment that you had great success and achievement in your life and use that to help you get through this disappoint knowing you found achievement once you can do it again.

I would encourage you to remember what you are working for. It also helps you to shake off any disappointment simply by refusing to be willing to accept defeat.

 

Final Thoughts:

If you have ever had a setback or an obstacle in your life or in starting, running or maintaining your business and I am sure you have. You have likely already figured out that giving into the thought that you have failed or you will never find success is crippling.

Never lose hope and always be in the frame of mind you can do whatever you put your mind to and the sky will have no limits for you.
