🌟 My “Failures” Include Flare-Ups. My Success is Still Showing Up. 🌟

There’s a quote I hold onto tightly on the hard days:

“Success is the willingness to keep on going despite all the failures which come your way.”

For most entrepreneurs, “failures” might mean a missed goal, a ‘no’ from a prospect, or a product launch that fizzles.

For a disabled entrepreneur with chronic conditions, “failures” feel different.

A “failure” for me can be:

* Waking up in so much pain that my “office” is my bed. 🛌

* Having to cancel a team call because of a sudden flare-up.

* Watching others “hustle 24/7” while I have to schedule mandatory rest days.

* Brain fog so thick that answering a simple email feels like climbing a mountain. 🧠

It’s easy to feel defeated when your body and your business goals seem to be in a constant battle.
But this is where that quote’s power truly clicks.

My “willingness to keep on going” doesn’t look like hustle. It looks like resilience.
It’s…

✨ Sending that one follow-up message from my bed.

✨ Honouring my body’s need for rest, knowing it’s not quitting—it’s strategy.

✨ Celebrating the tiny steps forward, because I know what they cost.

✨ Building a business that supports my health, not one that demands I sacrifice it.
Success for us isn’t about speed. It’s about stamina. It’s about adapting. It’s about giving ourselves grace on the “failure” days and showing up—however we can—on the others.

Whether you’re a parent juggling kids (a #Mumpreneur or #Dadpreneur), a fellow #ChronicIllnessWarrior, or just someone tired of the “go-go-go” mentality, know this:

Your pace is valid. Your struggles are real. And your willingness to keep going, one small step at a time, is a form of success all on its own. 💪

We are transforming our health AND our lives. And we’re doing it in a way that lasts.
