Mindset & Productivity Y'all feel like you don't make progress fast enough?

This is a real "am I the only one who" ass type question but idk, I guess I'm just wondering how y'all cope with it.

I've been working on my business for awhile now. Pretty much since last year.

I don't want to give y'all my entire story but basically, my only client un-subscribed today. I'm kinda grateful because he was a PITA client (finishing him up certainly taught me lessons about ever working with someone like him again) yet also frustrated because I'd worked so hard to satisfy him in the first place. He literally would've been charged in just 3 days, which would've been a decent amount of money for me.

Prior to that, I had an employee this month I had to let go. He was a sales rep, a great one too, but unfortunately outside forces came and ruined his communication, and at that point began eating my finances having him on board only for him to not show up.

My new sales rep is great. But we 2 of our 6 appointments didn't happen this week, and while some agreed to the follow up appointment, some decided they weren't interested.

I really, sincerely feel like I should have not just one, but several clients by now. Yet somehow there's always just one little adjustment that has to be made, and it's always "alright, next week for sure".

How do y'all handle that?
