Yes, You read that right.
In this blog, I'm gonna show you how I used a breakup to build 2 businesses, and hopefully you do to.
I can't believe it's been over over 8 months since this happened. well, 10 months ago I stumbled across a beautiful girl down the street, I approached her, we talked for a bit, we danced on the streets and we exchanged numbers ( sure it wasn't as fast as I wrote it)
Anyway, the next day, I asked her out and we went on a 1st date and a 2nd and a 3rd...it was a magical beginning (as usual), everything's perfect and reality hasn't kicked in yet.
After a while, it did, and things started to change. While her attraction started fading away, my attraction to her was amplifying each day. I cared about her. I fell madly in love with her.
Few months later, things started going downhill until one day the bubble popped. I was 23 years old and for the last 15years or so I don't remember crying over anything. But that night I did, I cried and cried and cried on my way home. the pain was unbearable, I never experienced such pain before. I don't think I ever fell in love like that before . That was the first time that I cared so much about a girl. So when she left me, I didn't know how to handle it, I've never had a similar experience before. I was devestated. The first 2 nights were the worst, I haven't been able to sleep, nor keep myself from crying. I tried to call her, I texted those desperate texts (I wish I didn't) . All I wanted was to see her just one more time. It wasn't fair that her presence in my life would end abruptly.
When life hits you, it hits real hard. Just when I thought : my girl leaving me is so unfair, my parents threw away my baby kitten which I loved so much and nurtured from when she was just a baby. Even that wasn't enough, My pc broke down, the internet went down, and college hasn't started yet. So I had a long hot summer day to mourn.
When I wasn't crying I listened to motivational videos to lift myself up, I remember listening to Les brown, T.D jakes, Eric thomas.. I listened to them everyday, trying to get me out of my state.
It takes courage to let things go,
Only a loser would dwell on the past.
You will get through this. It will end soon enough..."
Honestly that's what got me out of that situation. I was facinated by them, they helped me a lot to get out of depression and I started getting influenced by them, so I started studying them and their success and little by little I was forgetting about the girl and started reading more books and watching more seminars. Basically I started getting into the entrepreneurial life. The more I read, the more I discovered, the more I was hooked. I read books for Jim rohn, zig ziglar, Gary vee, grant cardone, Brian Tracy, Tony robbins... All those great people taught me to let go of the hate, the pain, and the negative emotions and start embracing life, I also learned that the more skills you acquire, the more you increase your chances of success in life.
I learned how to make bracelets with very basic materials and sell them. Later I got pretty good at this and more people started to order my bracelets. So I hired other people to do my job. That was my first business. Then I focused on learning marketing, selling and few other skills such as desinging and running facebook ads, since I started selling t shirts on different platforms online. And that was my second business. Now I'm starting some other projects and enjoying this new amazing platfom that I recently found, "steemit". I'm really happy, now, how my life turned out to be. I'm actually thankful for the breakup.
To sum up, my advice for you broken hearted people, start watching motivational videos, and especially start reading more books and acquiring new skills that'll help you succeed in life. I know it sucks when you get your heart broken and you don't feel like doing anything, especailly reading books, but trust me, this is going to help you so much and could change your life 180 degree.
