Happy Entrepreneuring!

I love the movie Meet the Robinsons. Yes, it’s a kids movie but it has a great message:

“Keep moving forward!”

That’s one of the many messages of the movie, but it’s my favorite. In the movie, Lewis wants to give up when his experiments don’t work out the way he wants them to. Then he meets a family that helps him understand that failure is useful and should be celebrated as a learning experience rather than a reason to give up.

I’d been frustrated because I hadn’t been able to allocate my time the way I wanted and development of a product I’m working on kept getting pushed to the background. I always try to make the best of any situation, but I was fighting the urge to be a little whiney and wallow in the frustration.

Do you ever feel frustrated when your plans get waylayed? Tired of pushing, especially when it doesn’t look like you’re making a whole lot of progress? In the beginning it can look like that a lot. And in the middle. And 10 years down the road.

It can feel that way, but Keep Moving Forward. Even if it’s baby steps. Those baby steps will add up to ground covered and eventually position you to take the leaps when the opportunity appears.

Happy Entrepreneuring!
