Do or die. Nothing in between

For me, startup challenges are just ways to grow. But I gave birth in war. And building a startup with 3 small kids. So I always look with a little bit of annoyance at common problems that startups have. Honestly, you really need to have passion for that startup and be open-minded. If you tried it all and nothing is working - maybe it is time to pivot.

Acknowledge the effort you've put in, even if results aren't immediate. Sometimes, just appreciating how far you've come can be motivating in itself.

Maintaining a positive mindset. Try to remind myself of the reasons why I started this journey and focus on the progress we've made, no matter how small.

I guess when you are facing challenging times in your startup is when you really can laser focus on building insane products. Businesses gets molded under fire.

when facing tough times, I find it really helps to revisit my original vision and long term goals.

Revisiting my original goals helps me stay motivated during tough times.

Leaning fellow entrepreneurs and mentors for support keeps me going.

Being thankful
