Solution: Find learning opportunities, not failures

Dear Omar,
Reading your story, it seems like you are standing in a place where many people give up in the battle of life. But I believe you are not one of those people. You have walked the path of your dreams, and that in itself is a great achievement.
1. Fear of failure is normal, but it shouldn't stop you.
If you're afraid of failure, know that it's perfectly normal. Even the most successful people in the world have failed at some point in their lives. But the difference is, they didn't run away from failure, they learned from it.
2. Remember why you chose this path.
There must have been a dream behind starting your business. Was it just to make money, or to build something independently? Whenever doubts arise, remember why you chose this path. It will give you strength again.
3. Celebrate small successes to boost your confidence.
Something good is happening every day, but you may not be seeing it.
- Getting the first customer
- Good reviews coming
- Daily sales volume increased
Celebrate these small victories. This will boost your confidence and you will find that you have the strength to move forward.
4. Don't be influenced by the words of those who discourage you.
There will always be people who will say, “You can't do it,” “Business is hard,” “It's not worth it.” But if you stop at their words, you will regret it one day.
- Don't just listen to those who are positive and inspiring.
- Read the stories of successful entrepreneurs, you will see that they too faced this same situation.
5. Take failure as a lesson.
Suppose something goes wrong in your business. This does not mean failure, it is an opportunity to learn.
- Analyze where you are going wrong.
- Think about how you can improve.
- Talk to a counselor if necessary.
6. Be patient in difficult times.
Business is not just about profit, it is also a game of patience. If you give up after a few months, you will never know whether success was waiting for you or not. Many of the world's biggest brands lost money in the beginning, but they became successful because of patience.
7. Improve your skills and plan
Make yourself more efficient—
- Learn new business strategies.
- Learn how to do better marketing.
- Increase connections with customers.
The success of your business depends not only on your luck, but also on your strategy and hard work.
8. Believe in yourself and move forward.
Omar, you are already a brave person. You have left the security of your job and stepped into the path of your dreams, which many cannot do. Even if failure comes, it is not the end for you, but a new beginning.
If you ever feel, “I can’t,” tell yourself— “I’ve come this far because I can. I will succeed.”
I believe you can. Just move forward, fearlessly.
Best wishes to you,
