Some Cave In; Some Bounce Back
How does it happen that some people cave in at the first sign of a challenge, and others bounce back and keep on going in spite of apparent failures? Did those who bounce back swallow some magic battery and turn into the quintessential Energizer Bunny?
To be frank, the people who drop the bat or give up when the going gets tough really didn't have a compelling reason to try nor a mindset to win in the first place. In other words, their "why" wasn't large enough to pull them through.
Those people who seem to get better when things go wrong, who stand up tall and enter the fight have the stamina and drive to continue forging ahead to meet their goals because their reasons for doing so are more compelling to them. They know how to stick to a commitment and aren't afraid of a bump in the road. They keep their eye on the prize the whole time.
Start to Empower Your Reason
As you begin a business endeavor you must make it a priority that has your commitment and devotion. This means that every minute of every day you need to be thinking and moving towards your goal. When you figure out your reason for succeeding that has to remain the one thought that keeps you moving and allows you to keep trying when things get rough.
If your reason for wanting more is simply to make your life a little easier, to improve the living conditions your presently have chances are you will not be able to hold out for the long run. Your "why" will not have enough meaning to move you forward. Once you acquire the things in life that you wanted or set out for you will have little left to gain so giving up will be easier. Even with more time on your hands and comforts you will become bored and les motivated.
While material possessions are of great importance they cant be the only element that fuels your "why." Once you get all the things you want, your purpose will be gone and with it, your drive and determination. Think outside of the box and make reasons that are compelling on your various levels of existence so you will never run out of reasons to keep your nose to the grindstone. Set high goals that are inclusive of not just vacations, but the reasons "why" you want those vacations as well.
There is a phenomenon that exists among people who retire young. Studies indicate that many people who retire at age 55 double their risk of an early death than those who work well into their 60's. The main reason for this is that with the early retirement and no compelling reasons to live they lose their purpose in life.
How to Know if Your Why is Big Enough
You may be reading this article because you have started a few online businesses, but when they didn't take off like you thought they should, you quit.
Perhaps it was in an area such as a home-based business (of any type), network marketing, internet marketing, internet businesses, direct sales and or other online money-making programs. And your actions toward them more resemble a roller coaster ride than an out and out fight to win.
There are things you can look for in yourself to see if you have made valid and meaningful reasons to succeed. If you experience any of the following sings or symptoms, chances are you need to take a step back and reevaluate your "Why's."
Watch for the Signs
There are tell tale signs. If you have any of these characteristics then your reasons for wanting wealth may not be enough to carry through you the battle:
Inability to achieve regular goals or procrastination Worried about what others might be thinking, or self conscious Unable to trust your decisions, worried or fearful Inability to make quick decisions that you feel good about Unsure of what you should be doing Afraid to fail or make mistakes (because you wont pick yourself back up) Lack of motivations Always planning, but never doing! Lack of organizations in actions and plans
In the words of Jim Rohn
"When you know what you want, and want it bad enough you will find a way to get it."
That is quite possibly the best way to understand the importance of your 'why' or reason for wanting to be successful, and wealthy.
Allow No Excuses
