Ya know.....Success doesn’t always come easy. Most of the truly
successful people I know have a Cinderella story of some sort. The
other day I was talking on the phone to a inet marketer friend of
mine.....we were talking about our beginnings in this industry and how
we each had HUGE obstacles to over come.
His story is pretty "cliche".... he was bankrupt and was living in a
single room apartment up to his eyeballs in debt. And then he decided
to change things. The story ends that Matt now has a 3 million dollar
internet business.
Mine? A little more complex.....
In my experience, I’ve certainly had my share of hard times. And here
are a few of the life lessons I have picked up along the way.
1) Hardship happens Your work at home business won’t always go
smooth as a baby's behind! Tough times are where you will learn and
grow the most! They are a vital part of the journey to success. Accept
it and don’t dwell in it.
2) Look upwards when times are down You get more of what you
focus on in life. If you keep focusing on what’s wrong, you’ll attract
more of that in your life. Keep your chin up. Keep that vision of what
DOES matter to you in your big bright future as motivation to keep you
going. You need a really big reason “why” to help you get through the
tough times.
3) Look for ways to make lemons out of lemonade Make the best of
your situation. What can you learn from your mistakes? How can you grow
personally from the situation? How can you use what you learned to make
things even better? And the ultimate gift, how can you turn your
hardship into a mission or service to help others overcome that same
challenge?
In the movie The Secret, they talk about
how whatever you think about most is what you attract into your life.
So.....if all you think about all day is your problems? Guess what it
is that you are attracting more of?
MORE OF THOSE SAME PROBLEMS!
So.....when you are goin through a "rough spot" in life.....remember it
is part of the process to better times....and it's only temporary.
AND......unless you want more of the same - STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR
PROBLEM AND START FOCUSING ON THE SOLUTION!
Remember to think positive......and make it a great week!
