There are many trials and tribulations when starting a new business, including plenty of ways to get discouraged and feel sorry for yourself. This week was rough for me. Someone who I trusted stole from me and some promises were broken. I took it personally, but then I started thinking about the Boll Weevil.
What is the Boll Weevil, you ask? Well, a Boll weevil is a beetle measuring an average length of six millimeters, which feeds on cotton buds and flowers. Here is a picture.
Ugly little bugger… Boll Weevil.
This bug started infesting the cotton crops of the southern US in the late 1800’s: this little bug contributed to the Great Depression in the south.
It took awhile for fate to show itself and reveal why this infestation happened. Eventually, the farmers figured out that the annoying bug presented a new opportunity. They realized, “maybe we should grow a different crop”. That crop happened to be peanuts, which were easier to grow, pick and ultimately resurrected farming in the south.
When you feel like something is working against you, stop and think— it might be a Boll Weevil! It may force you to realize better and more lucrative options.
The lack of service and lack of education that you have received from the big three companies is your Bow Weevil and Screen is your better and more lucrative option.
There is hope!
