It's not easy being an entrepreneur. 

It may look like it is, judging by a lot of social media posts that you see entrepreneurs putting out there: 

- "Woohooo, I made $86,414.32 before 11 am this morning!" 

- "I get up at 4 am every morning and run 20 miles ... I feel greeeeeeeeeeat!" 

- "I LOVE my life!" 

But it's really not all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. 

This week, I saw two big players in the online/coaching/personal development world open up and reveal to their communities that they're having a tough time. 

Kimra Luna, who's had massive success as an online business strategist, shared a vulnerable post detailing her struggles with PTSD and what it's done to her business since it was triggered about a year ago (I'm not revealing anything confidential here, she shared it with thousands of people and it's been shared all over Facebook): 

- She didn't execute on promises to her clients and potential clients 

- She lost opportunities by having to cancel interviews and speaking opportunities 

- She had to not show up to events that she committed to going to 

- She lost sales ($100,000 of committed revenue) by having to cancel a mastermind group that she had planned. 

Yesterday, another successful coach that I know shared with her tribe (20,000+ members) that she's going through a rough patch personally and has to pull back from them for awhile to rest and take care of herself. 

Kudos to those people for going out there and being honest that they're having struggles. Judging by the reaction that both got, their tribes have their backs and they will be rewarded for being open with them. 

Steve Furtick has a great quote ->>>

"The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.” 

If you're going through a rough patch at the moment, remember that even the big players have their difficulties too. I don't think that any successful people made it there without them,
