Dear Entrepreneur,

Have you tried achieving something great, but it feels like life has built a brick wall up, right in front of you? Do you feel like each time you make a move, you end up hitting this brick wall in front of you, multiple times, keeping you away from achieving your dreams? Have you tried so many times to bring this wall down with no success?

I think it’s time you focus.

They say, “when you’re hitting a brick wall, focus on one brick.” So don’t be in a hurry. When life knocks you down, it’s okay to lay down there and figure out which brick you want to bring down first.

Life isn’t a race, so you can take it one brick at a time.

Give yourself a short-term goal; something easily achievable, and then give yourself some time to achieve it. Take it one goal at a time.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

The brick walls are there for a reason. They’re not there to keep you out or away. No. They’re there to give you a chance to show how badly you want something. They’re there to remind you that good things take time. They’re there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people, and not you, so keep trying.

Take it one step at a time; one goal at a time. Good things come to those who wait. But better things come to those who try again.

With love,
Chidi
