Are you at the end of your rope like me? I have to admit that I’m really tired. Since trying to avoid going out into the real world and getting another J.O.B., I have spent countless hours on the Internet, trying to build a home business. I haven’t gotten very far.
Giving up seems the only alternative. I have listened to too much advice, signed up for too many programs and spent too much time getting nowhere. Does any of this sound familiar? Do you feel like giving up?
When my first husband left me two days after Christmas for my best friend, I felt like giving up. When I lost my job two months later because the same best friend had more seniority than me, I felt like giving up. A couple of weeks later, my car died and a couple of days later, my TV shot craps. I REALLY felt like giving up. But my mother said something to me, only to make me laugh, but she was right. “It can only go up from here.”
Now, 11 years later, I just celebrated my 10-year anniversary with my fabulous husband. I have had several different occupations, some of which I loved, some of which I hated. All of which made me realize that I wanted to be my own boss. I wanted to be in control, decide how things would be run and work hard to further my career, not someone else’s. Does any of this sound familiar? Do you really want your own business?
I do admit that I have learned more in the last four months that I have in the last 4 years. I have learned marketing, promotion, self-discipline, communication and many other skills I didn’t have before I started this. I have made mistakes but I know that everyone makes mistakes and smart people learn from them so I guess that makes me a genius. Wow, I have come a long way.
I do believe in the businesses that I have chosen. I don’t really want to give up. I am intelligent, I have courage and I love this World Wide Web. I know the key to my success is out there somewhere, if I keep working hard. Frankly, this is where I want to be. Does this sound familiar? Do you love being on the Internet?
Be patient; remember the excitement you had when you started this endeavor. You know success is possible; people with less intelligence and less drive are doing it everyday. Did you forget that Rome wasn’t built in a day? Did you forget that most businesses take years to build? Are you really doing the recommended steps that your sponsors have given you? Did you really think this was going to happen in weeks? Are you honestly doing all you can to succeed? Let’s start today!!
I have been online since February, 2001, learning marketing and sales techniques and love to pass on any info that might help others. Currently, I'm having great marketing success with 10 Minutes A Day Marketing plan http://www.10minutesaday.net/members/thdesigns/index.shtml
