Adversity overcome in starting or running a business?

Do you have any stories about adversity you've faced during your company's startup or operations and how you overcame it? Here's mine:
I didn't have a lot of experience in my industry when I decided that I wanted to start a business. In addition, many people I knew in the industry including family members were very unsupportive. I overcame this by digging in and taking the experience that I could get and learning from it until I started to attract real clients for whom I could produce successful results. I also went back to school and got a master's degree which helped my knowledge and credibility as well.

Have you ever read "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield? It takes on the concept of Resistance and provides great encouragement and strategies for moving forward. It's a quick read (you could get through it in an hour), and I highly recommend checking it out from the library or picking up on Amazon.
Last thought on adversity: If entrepreneurship were easy, everyone would do it. We should expect and anticipate the adversity. Then, ultimate success is that much more fulfilling because we've persevered through the challenges.
