                                                  Keep Going

As much as we think we have had enough or we have used up all our energy on something.  We still have a little bit left in us to keep on going.  We stop to fast we give up too soon and it’s because we can’t see where it leads.  The fact of the matter is the last bit of push we have in us pushes us to success. Whether it be in business or weightlifting, building something, running etc.  If we only knew to keep going just a bit more so we could see what success looks like.  The times that we seem to keep pushing towards something is when we have nothing else.  You have all heard the stories of the entrepreneur that lost everything in a divorce or lost a job.  Only to build something from nothing and he build it because he had nothing and wouldn’t take no for an answer. He sold the stuff on street corners cooked out of his moms kitchen slept in his car.  You know all the things that happens. 

 How do we harness that passion for success without losing everything?  We have to be hungry for it that's how.  If you really want to get something in your life and continue to fight or continue towards it you will have it.  I personally have tried to work for companies only to find there was nowhere to go nowhere to advance.  A glass ceiling was there that a woman with children would never break thru.  I had to decide to make my own destiny. 

 I asked myself what would I want to do, and I pondered it for a few weeks.  I came up with this (My children suffer from ADD and we have always gone to Doctors only to be sent away with prescriptions that made them sleepy and took their personality away.)  I wanted to formulate a product that was natural and so safe you could give it to teenagers in place of Ritalin and Adderall that would curb their symptoms but not take away what I love about them.  So I started by finding a formulator that was very good at what he does and was very smart thank God I knew him because he was the key to making the product great.  I then took the formula to a supplement company that would make it for me.  I got a few samples and tweaked it a bit had a graphic designer make a fantastic label and i shopped it to ebay, amazon made a website sold it to friends relatives stood in malls and sold it at church.  Anything I could do to get this bottle in the hands of the public.  

Once I started seeing sales and reviews that the public liked what I had and that best of all it really helped it was worth it. I cried I wanted to give up I spent my last $4000.00 and that’s hard to do when you have 4 kids.  I had to throw caution to the wind and just gamble baby.  The odds were against me but i had no other choice but to try.  In the process of all of this my significant other complained and moaned and said it wasn’t bringing in money.  I always replied when it does bring in money will you jump on the band wagon?  It’s almost harder to do when you have a nay sayer in your ear trying to get you to stop telling you that you can’t.  I say fuck you and keep going and don’t look back because one day it will work and it will be because I didn’t listen to crud like that.  You can do it, I made Cerebra Ultra from the sweat on my brow and the soles of my shoes.
