No man is an island as sn entrepreneur you would always need a good support system to help keep you together mentally, business wise, physically and otherwise
so you need to make conscious efforts to create one for yourselves. You can do the following

You can start with reaching out to family and friends for emotional support.

Seek out either entrepreneur or business networking groups to be in touch with like-minded entrepreneurs

Go ahead to get mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs to be aided and guided.

Go for workshops or conferences to expand your network

If you are new to entrepreneurship and feel awkward about your performance, it is best for you to seek support from your family, that is if they are willing, and if not, it's yourself who could support you through being honest to your customers and understand their needs.

Another way is to join communities. Like my self as a graphic designer, I tend to join different graphic design communities on social media. Getting does with more experience around you helps a lot.

Networking with other entrepreneurs and professionals in the industry can provide valuable insights and support. By connecting with those who have experience in similar ventures, you can gain access to a wealth of knowledge and resources. Networking events, industry conferences, and online platforms can be excellent avenues for expanding your professional network.

It is very difficult to build a support system, when powerful officials and companies are constantly criminally defaming small online business owners, making fake allegations without any proof to ruin their reputation.

There's no other building support system except money. You need savings intended for a sudden change of business momentum. Another support system is your property in case worst comes to worst you can loan your property in case no savings made.

You're right, my dearest friend. Above all, I think that every person who wants to build his own business must also be well informed of the costs and risks he might encounter.

That is the best support you can give to someone close to you to get informed about the possible risks. That's one way to show concern especially to the new investors. Money is always the answer to support one's investment.

The best way to get going is by connecting with like-minded people. IN this case, entrepreneurs like you. Your problems and aspirations will be understood only by the people who are in the same field.

I completely agree, money is an important factor for any business, as it provides stability and safety in times of unexpected changes. Also, having other assets and investments, such as property, can also serve as an additional support system and provide a backup plan in case financial resources are depleted.

That is right, other things can't support us like our family or friends who are also struggling. The best is to save and have the savings serve as a future support system.

Savings does serve as a future support system. By having a solid savings plan in place, businesses can be better prepared to face the challenges of an ever-changing market and economic landscape.

No savings, no support system to rely on in case worst comes to worst in business. Little savings can become big once continuously do it according to plan. It must be given special attention.

Adequate savings can act as a cushion during periods of economic instability, unforeseen expenses, or market fluctuations. Businesses with sufficient savings are more likely to weather these storms and emerge stronger in the long run.

As, long as there is saving, there is stability of feelings. no one feels insecure because there is money kept in the right place and when the time comes to build a business, it is not impossible.

True, this year I am planning on making a lot of restructuring for my business, last year there was very little planing for most of the things I did, I believe this year will be different.

That is a very good decision to make your dream business happen this year. Do it because if you don't, you will lose interest and the possibility to postpone it in the next years.

That sounds like a great goal. Planning and restructuring can really help improve a business. I wish you all the best in your restructuring efforts and hope you see positive results for your business this year.
