Are you thinking of giving up?

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!!
