I bought ThriveCart last week.
And let me tell you, a flaming pile of dog shit would’ve been a step up.
It was supposed to be the “easy button.”
A fancy, streamlined, everything-in-one-place solution.
Spoiler alert: it was none of those things.
I bet I’ve spent 20 hours in the last 8 days tinkering with it.
I emailed support on Monday about an issue. They didn’t have a solution, so they escalated the issue to their development team.
No solution, yet.
I’ve spent more time chatting with customer support bots than to my own children.
And honestly?
This is just the tip of the chaos iceberg.
The last 6 weeks have fucking sucked.
Tech headaches.
Sales slumps.
Content burnout.
The whole “Am I even good at this?” inner monologue playing on repeat like a bad breakup song.
It’s zapped the fun I used to feel in my business. I’m not having fun, anymore, because I’ve let this consume me.
I’ve pissed away so much time overanalyzing things.
Spent hours “researching” new platforms.
Constantly questioning myself.
Very little time spent on the actual business.
I realized this:
Sometimes, it’s not about fixing everything.
Sometimes, it’s about taking a breath.
Stepping away from the desk.
Going for a walk.
I’m trying to let IT suck, and reminding myself it doesn’t mean I suck.
And you don’t suck, either.
You’re not broken.
You’re building something real, and real things take time, patience and occasionally yelling, “FUCK!!!” at your screen like it stole your car.
If this week’s been rough…I see you. Me, too.
But we’re not done.
No where close.
Keep fucking going!!!!
YOU GOT THIS 🙌
In your corner,
Adam
