WE ARE SURVIVORS, PUSHERS, GO-GETTERS, DOERS. WE DON’T CARE ABOUT LIMITATIONS — OUR GOALS ARE BIGGER THAN OUR TO-DO LISTS. WE’RE FINDING OUR STRENGTHS, AND PRESSING ON. WE’RE FORGING OUR OWN PATH, AND MAKING OUR OWN MISTAKES. WE CAN’T TURN BACK NOW. WE ARE THE SURVIVORS.

Your native genius

Supernatural ability to keep on keeping on, no matter the challenge

Survivors have much to offer, but have been dragged down by doubt and apprehension. You can be your own worst enemy. You tend to believe people generally don't respect small business ownership as much as they do a corporate job. You need someone who can guide you through the insecurity and the doubt, and deliver digestible but concrete action items that will bring them quickly visible results so that you can feel the satisfaction of forward motion.

Your spirit animal is the Phoenix

The Phoenix is all about overcoming impossible odds and welcoming significant change. Like the Phoenix, you rise from the ashes, refusing to be blocked or defeated for long. Remember to call upon the spirit of the Phoenix for strength and renewed energy when undergoing a trial or seeking a new beginning. You’ve clawed your way up from the bottom a time or two, and you know all about starting over. Embrace transformation. Evaluate the underlying themes in your life, and break down the routines that aren’t contributing to positivity, optimism, and your overall well-being. Move on to the next big thing (like your wild and crazy entrepreneurial success).

Inspirational quotes for entrepreneurs like you

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Thomas Edison American inventor

If you are feeling low or trampled, unappreciated or forgotten and you are reading this, realize it is an illusion. The hope is real, you are valued, and what lies ahead is brilliance.

Tom Althouse American author

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.

Maya Angelou American author

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.

What the stars say about you

Okay, Survivor. We’re going for no holds barred, no punches held here. After all, if anyone can take it, it’s you. There’s been more than once over the last few years where you’ve questioned your sanity. The road has been rough, the hours long, and the money? Maybe not quite what you’d hoped. But here you are. Still hustling. Still hoping. Still with that dream that got you started in the first place.

Modify, adjust, and learn from your mistakes—but don’t quit now. You are closer than you know. Don’t think you’ve got to do it alone. Network. Reach out. Find others who can help lift you higher, get a fierce business coach to light the way, seek encouragement in the people and places and things that lift your spirits, and don’t forget to take care of yourself. Above all, be kind to yourself. This is a journey—remind yourself of just how far you’ve come, and just how seriously amazing you are.
