Running a business is never easy, there are always ups and down, there are times when things might not go the way you want it, and there are times where you might actually feel like giving up. When faced with these difficulties, what do you do to keep moving forward, what is the source of your motivation that stops you from giving up?
what is your source of strength that keeps you going when faced with a setback in business?

What motivates and keeps me going is when I remember that no ugly situation will be permanent, knowing that there is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel,I get more motivated and resilient towards keeping on.
It is very true that business cycles can be depressing at times. I keep myself motivated with looking at te progress I have made so far in the business and keep pushing on.
It's never easy at that point but then I source for mentors and motivational talks, I read stories of successful business owners that have encountered issue with their business in the past and how they overcome it, then finally tell myself that if they can do it , then I can too .

There is no greater motivation than your dreams. Same here my goals and dreams are also a great means of motivation for myself as well. It keeps me going that one day i would get what i want.
You just need to look at the big picture beyond the challenges that you face at present. This would motivate you to push ahead. And you must understand that the challenges come to make you better.
I believe in the adage "failure is success delayed". So that I won't give up and keep looking for ways to innovate so that my business can revive. Apart from that, it is no less important to pray a lot to God to make things easier.

Hmmm failure is success delayed actually have a deep meaning. Which means because you failed does not mean you won't succeed later on. Keep pushing, learn from the past mistakes and you would definitely succeed in the end.
Yes, that's true, this proverb exists to advise people not to give up when they fail. He will continue to try and learn from past failures until he achieves success.
When facing challenges or difficulties in business, having a positive mindset is important. I would tell myself "there must be a way". I would think about my achievements in the past to encourage myself.
My family is my source of inspiration and motivation. I always want the best for my children and I will not relent in giving them the best. My family give me the courage to do more.
