Running any type of business is hard work. The road to success is often a long bumpy one, often littered with potholes and pitfalls before success comes knocking.

On the bumpy ride to success, it can be easy to get down and lose your motivation. During tough times like these there isn't much you can do, other than keep the faith and keep going.
