THIS Is the Sweetest Victory of All…
I was explaining to someone who feels stuck in their business because they have no more money to continue advertising and so forth.
This person stated she is feeling a lack of momentum and lack of motivation because of this.
She was a part of my business community, though I’ve never met her personally.
I’ve needed motivation myself after losing it over the very same things: lack of money and my current buyers/customers don’t seem to be doing or buying anything.
So I told her what helped me.
But the main thing is that this is all mental in nature.
Winners act in spite of fear while losers run away with their tail tucked between their legs.
So I told her to #1) Never Give Up and #2) Remember what her WHY is – of why she started this online business thing in the first place.
That should be motivation enough right there – and it is a mental issue.
Negative thoughts creep in all the time to all of us – so I also told her to STAND UP and face the fear which we all surely have because, if you give up, then nothing will ever change for you and you will still be right back here in complaint mode when that’s the very thing you’re trying to change.
She said she is in big financial trouble. But giving up is not going to change that. It will only continue the tragic cycle and possibly even make it worse.
So when fear, uncertainty, self-doubt, lack of motivation, lack of momentum, lack of money, etc, etc, start to tell you that you should just give up, you STAND UP and tell those thoughts to GET LOST!
Those thoughts don’t matter – only the mission matters! Her mission in this case is to generate leads for her business. That’s it! Don’t dwell on anything else.
Have no money? So WHAT! DO IT ANYWAY! Your ‘WHY’ will find you ways to do it for free for now.
Scared and uncertain? So WHAT! Do it anyway! Acting in the face of uncertainty is a sign of a true winner.
Your current leads, if you have any, aren’t doing anything? So WHAT! Get more leads!
Lacking confidence and don’t know what to do next? So WHAT!
Learn more about your business in the countless resources our business community already provides for you. This will surely get you the confidence you need to keep moving forward.
No matter what negative things you may be feeling – THEY DON’T MATTER. YOU STAND UP and keep moving forward anyway!
Let me tell you what I think the sweetest victory of all is…
Many people come into our business with lots of money and they can advertise, build their business, and seemingly succeed from day one.
But the sweetest victory is when I can say that I came into this with nothing…no money, no motivation, no certainty, no confidence – just a burning desire to succeed – AND I STOOD UP AND I DID IT ANYWAY!
This, my friends, is the sweetest victory of all!
Cheers,
