Hey Tim,

Thanks for giving us those wise words from Jim.

Persevarance I have a plenty - but it is mixed with an unhealthy dose impatience.

So, I tend to run too fast - drive too fast - move too fast - talk too fast - and can not wait in line long enough to pick up my prescription for my patience. 

But here's a good analogy of persevarance, if anyone cares.

Think of life as 12 rounds of professional boxing: 

You may get knock down several times,

but as long as you get up before you're counted out,

you still have a change to win the bout.

At the end, you might even get a lucky punch in.. and whalla -

you're the winner, my fella.

But if not, you know you have given it your best shot - you played your part well - and that's all we can ask.

That to me is the reality of life - although Luck has a way of making fools out of experts and critics.

the advice you give and the advice of perseverance are are absolutely correct...I go mentally and emotionally through these ups and downs of not yet having sold a single product on my website...I wonder when I will have to shut it down b.c of this too....but I after regaining control...of a positive attitude...I must be available for the long term  b4 I quit....do anything I would regret....I want to be good enough and happy (as much as everyone else) ... my point is I want to try until...I have exhausted all means to make my first sale... 

if what plan to achieve in life were easy...all  of us would be masters now at our profession....instead, we need to learn, more and more, day by day, so that one day will can be show mastery       

Hi Tim,
