Entrepreneurs MUST push past the feeling of “I don’t feel like it” EVERY DAY! I made this post on my Facebook page the other day, and I was blown away by how many people resonated with it. What surprised me even more was realizing just how many of my friends are entrepreneurs. I knew it wasn’t just me who felt this way, but I didn’t realize how few people actually talk about it.

Here’s what I find fascinating: when I used to work a regular job, there were definitely days I didn’t feel like going in. But somehow, I thought running my own business would be different—like I’d always feel passionate and eager to show up. That thought now seems absurd.

And yet, here we are. It happens to all of us, doesn’t it? Of course, doing work we love gives us more purpose and passion, but even the work we love comes with its share of hard days. The reality of running a business doesn’t change the fact that we’re human.

So, what keeps me going when I don’t feel like it? My answer might not be what you’re expecting, but I’m going to tell you anyway.

For me, it’s God. My life belongs to Him, and because of that, my days have purpose—even when I don’t feel like it. The Spirit of God motivates me because I know there’s a work to do. I’m reminded daily that God has been working from the very beginning, and He’s still working now. If He hasn’t stopped, why should I?

When I don’t feel like it, I remember that my part matters. I submit my plans to God and let Him guide my steps. If I have a role to play, I’ve got to get up and play it.

That said, if you’re tired, rest. That’s the simplest, most overlooked advice. When we’re exhausted, our work becomes mediocre—half-done at best. What’s the point of pushing through when you’re running on empty? I’ve learned to take a day to rest even when I don’t think I need it. Most of the time, I end up sleeping more than I realize I needed. On those days, I spend time with God, share my thoughts, and ask Him for direction. He always reminds me why I’m here and what I’m doing.

Now, let me be completely transparent: I’m struggling with this right now. My diet has been off—I’m talking burgers, fries, and pizza kind of off. I haven’t been walking or staying consistent in the routines that fuel me. And guess what? I feel it. That’s probably why this whole thought of “pushing through” has been on my mind.

So here’s my advice:

    1.    Submit your plans to God and let Him direct your steps.

    2.    Rest when you’re tired.

    3.    Pay attention to what you’re eating and how you’re moving—it affects your energy more than you think.

Ultimately, you’ve been called to do a work, and no one else can do it for you. Take a walk, talk to God, and be honest about where you need help. Then get up and go.
