As I’m sure you know by now, I’ve been going through the ProVeg Kickstarting for Good incubator for social impact entrepreneurs. It’s been an amazing experience and I’ve been sharing my journey and everything I’ve learned through my incubator video diary. In the last diary entry, I did something I’ve never done before – I shared that I’d had a bad day.
A long time ago, I learnt that our ‘product’ at Vegan Business Tribe isn’t the advice we give or our online events and resources. What we sell is ‘positivity’. I truly believe that you’ve already got everything you need to be a successful business owner else you wouldn’t have joined this community. And a lot of the time, all you need is the motivation and belief in yourself to make it happen.
And I am a hugely positive person. The energy you see on the calls and podcast is genuine. But on this day, things just weren’t coming together. I’d not got the feedback I was hoping for, I’d not had enough sleep and I took an emotional dive. So I reluctantly shared this on camera to show that even I can have a down day.
But what an amazing Tribe you are. After I published the episode I had a couple of messages checking I was OK and saying how much you appreciated seeing that sometimes even I struggle. And that’s what surrounding yourself with others who share your mission means. When we struggle, we’re there for each other because we’re all working towards the same goal of fairer, cruelty-free world. I lend you my seemingly endless positivity and energy and, sometimes, you lend it back when I find it’s not always as endless as I think.
