In business, even in our career path, what we think is a setback, in most cases is our comeback and is one of the things that rewards us and redirects our path towards a wider and greater destiny. There are bad things that happen to us and we feel a lot of pain, but after sometime, we look back and appreciate them.
Sometimes I think that if adversity was absent, life would be boring. Don't give up on your small business just because you are encountering difficulties. If I ever gave up on my online business I wouldn't be here to tell you of my success.
