When Rock Bottom has a Basement

I started my business journey in 2020, I hit rock bottom as my income dropped 70% and I lied to my family that I am still employed. It was a lonely and frustrating journey. I never really got over those moments. I share my stories to whoever that wants to listen. I know I am vain, please don't judge me. Today a friend interrupted my story, he said that my rock bottom has a basement. When the moment that I decide to take action to turn my situation around is the moment that I hit rock bottom. If I choose inaction and blame others, I can fall further. As long as I do not take action, it is like falling into the bottomless pit. His advice is very simple. Rock bottom means hope, it means change for the better, it means taking action. If you are falling in life, do not despair. Keep taking action until your circumstances improve. Shut up and do the work. Do not blame others.
