Well, there’s not much you can do, but press forward and try to figure the problem out. Which is exactly what I’ve been doing the past couple days. Not only have I hit a few financial road blocks that have had me scrambling to get some new business plans into motion that I had been working on, I was recently emailed by a reader of this blog that told me my rss feed is currently down. 500+ readers subscribed and noone can see my feed, and no new readers can subscribe (sorry to the new readers that cannot subscribe yet. I promise I am working on that now).
Bootstrapping is all about jumping in and getting things going, so when you bootstrap your business and hit these road blocks, it would be nice to have a set plan of action in mind on how to dodge bullets or jump over burning bridges. So, what do you do when trouble hits? Do you hide and curl up into a ball, or do you fight back? If you’ve got an interesting story on a time you hit a road block and got through it, please share it. It will help inspire all of us who are in the same boat you were once in.
Editors note: I have a brand new series coming up on The 17 Principles of Success according to Napoleon Hill. It’s going to be a must read and will definitely answer a lot of questions on what is needed to be successful in business.
