Have You Ever Wanted To Quit Something?



I’m sure you have…most everyone at some point in life feels like throwing in the towel when something gets hard or frustrating. It’s common nature to want to do so. I mean look at our society…

Think about how many people stick with their New Years resolution?

What about a business? How many people do you know who have started a business, but end up quitting because they feel it’s hard or they get discouraged? It’s more than you would think. At the end of the day…it’s not necessarily the business that’s the problem…it’s usually our human tendency to get discouraged or let outside factors get us down that makes us want to quit.

So what can you do when YOU feel like quitting your business? Here are a few things I recommend:

1. Look at others who are successful in your business and emulate what they do. Usually you will find that these people have been at it for more than just a few weeks or months. Most of them years. I guarantee you that they wanted to quit during that time! But they stuck with it because they knew to be successful at anything in life it takes consistent effort and time.

2. You have to have a BIG WHY. The reason you are doing your business has got to motivate you so you won’t quit. Sometimes you hear people say…”You need to have a Why that makes you cry.” Maybe you want to get out of the corporate Rat Race. Maybe you want to be a stay-at-home Mom or Dad. Maybe you want to volunteer and change lives? You have to have something that motivates you to stay with what you are doing.

3. Ignore the naysayers and eliminate negative people in your life. Believe it or not, some of the people that are closest to us can be our worst critics. If you are surrounded by negativity, reduce the amount of time you spend with those people and find new people that are positive to be with.

4. Read positive, uplifting books that will help you grow. Work on your Personal Development. There are hundreds and hundreds of books and audios out there that can help you…take advantage of these and make it part of your daily routine.

5. And most importantly … TAKE MASSIVE ACTION in your business! You see when when you take action, you will have positive results which lead to success…which causes you to want to take more action which in turn leads to more success! See how that works?

Hey everyone wants to quit at one time or another…it’s just natural to want to do so. If you REALLY want to reach your goals though you can’t quit. Stick with your business for a long time and with the right activity you will achieve everything you ever hoped for.

You can do it!

 

 

As you’re working your business, there will be times when you’ll wonder whether what you are doing is working. Sometimes you’ll get immediate results, but most of the time it won’t happen that way.

Marketing is not a one-time effort. It’s important to be consistent in marketing. Often what you did weeks, months, or even years ago pays off. It should become part of who you are.
