Persistence... a quality that can earn lot for you.

Do you know what is one of the main causes of failure in a home based business environment? It is the lack of persistence.

Many people lack persistence because they are not willing to move on when they see the first signs of defeat.

Most people, when they meet defeat for the first time, tend to throw their goals, desires and purposes overboard. They tend to give up the first sign of "failure", while very few continue until they reach their desired goals.

When a person starts a home based business opportunity of some kind, it is essential that he never give up and remain persistent.

Many people will start something, such as an Internet business, and as soon as they don't see the results they were looking for, they do the most common and that is giving up. It is very important to go ahead and try different approaches.

You see, when I got my first site, created for me about a year and a half ago, at first I didn't see any results. I announced here and there. I spend a lot of money on many advertising techniques that never did me any good, but I learned that I have to keep going and keep trying new things all the time until I find my advertising niche.

Because of my persistence in trying different advertising approaches and my burning desire to succeed, I am now finding the right ways to get more traffic and more sales.

Now, persistence does not mean this:

Try an advertising strategy and it doesn't work well.  That is not the right word to be persistent. It is simply silly. Why would someone continue to make the same mistake over and over again and never learn from it?

Persistence means:

You should try something else until you find a strategy that works well and then you can continue to do so because you are providing the results you are looking for.


So how does a "persistent" attitude develop?

You must:

1. Have a burning desire to succeed. It is not a necessity It is mandatory.

2. Imagine reaching your desired goals in your home or online business.

3. Have faith goals.

4. Have something that can push you daily to do something. Maybe it's your job that you don't like and this can be a great motivator to never give up. You may want to improve your income, and knowing this will give you the ability to continue despite many failures along the way.

5. Tell yourself that you will succeed and that you will do whatever it takes to make your business a success. You have to feed your subconscious mind with a positive self-conversation.

6. Make your own decision that this will work and do not listen to negative people who will tell you to stop smoking. Choosing to be your own boss working from home is YOUR decision and nobody else's.

7. Read motivational books and listen to tapes.

8. Partner with the right people who will guide, teach and encourage you to move on.

9. Make a commitment. This is one of my favorites. Once you commit, there is no turning back or resignation. In agreement?

So stay persistent. Never give up. And reach the stars. You will succeed.
