The worst of any journey. The crushing low point

[Tommy92l]

Can't quite find the image, but it was essentially a little graph that showed your excitement/motivation when you first start your venture, but before it skyrockets, it goes through a very large dip and nearly flatlines. Yes, I just described a graph.

So, I think I'm going through this now but my question to you guys is - have you had this crushing low point where everything seems to be slowing down?

If you have had it, what was it? Low sales, motivation, ect?

It seems like we all start out really pumped up, but you need that true motivation and drive to get your through this low area.
