Hey, it’s your boy Mark Evans DM, and today I want to talk about something real—what do you do when you’re lacking support? Whether it’s in business, from your family, or even from your closest friends, not having the right support can make you feel like you’re climbing a mountain with no end in sight. But here’s the thing: even when it feels like you’re going at it alone, you’ve still got the power to push through.

I’ve been there. I’ve had times when the support I needed just wasn’t there. But guess what? Those were the moments that made me stronger, more focused, and more determined than ever. In this post, I’m diving into how you can keep moving forward, even when the support is lacking. Let’s get into it.

4 Thoughts to Kickstart Your Day

  1. Be Your Own Biggest Supporter: When you’re lacking support, you’ve got to step up and be your own cheerleader. Believe in yourself even when no one else does. Your confidence will carry you through the tough times.

  2. Find Strength in the Struggle: Sometimes, lacking support can make you stronger. It forces you to rely on your own abilities and to grow in ways you never expected. Embrace the challenge.

  3. Seek Out the Right People: Not everyone is going to support your journey—and that’s okay. Focus on finding the people who believe in you and your vision. Even one strong supporter can make a world of difference.

  4. Don’t Take It Personally: If others don’t support you, it’s not always about you. People have their own issues and limitations. Keep your focus on your goals, and don’t let their lack of support hold you back.

4 Lessons Learned

  1. Support is a Bonus, Not a Requirement: I’ve learned that while having support is great, it’s not a must-have for success. What’s more important is your own drive and determination.

  2. You Can Create Your Own Network: When you’re not getting the support you need, build your own network. Reach out to like-minded people, join groups, and connect with those who share your goals.

  3. Use Doubt as Fuel: When people doubt you or your dreams, let that light a fire under you. Use their doubt as motivation to prove them wrong and to push yourself even harder.

  4. Success Attracts Support: Funny thing about success—when you start achieving your goals, the support you were missing often shows up. Keep your head down, work hard, and let your results speak for themselves.

4 Challenges to Conquer Today

  1. Boost Your Self-Belief: Spend 5 minutes today reminding yourself of your strengths and past successes. Write them down and keep them close as a reminder that you’ve got what it takes.

  2. Reach Out for Connection: Identify one person who aligns with your goals and reach out to them. Start building a network of supporters, one connection at a time.

  3. Set a Goal and Crush It: Pick one small goal that you can achieve today. Show yourself that you don’t need anyone’s approval to get things done.

  4. Let Go of Negative Energy: If someone’s lack of support is bringing you down, distance yourself from that negativity. Focus on what you can control—your actions and your mindset.
