Succeeding in working from home online is like finishing your race. Consider that you are not a seasoned runner, and that you want to run 3 kilometers (3,000 meters) for your exercise. You believe that you can run the 3,000-meter exercise; after all, it is only 6 times 500-meter exercise.
The first 500 meters is very tough. Your body is telling you to quit. Your body wants to go back to the comfort zone — stay at home. If you are not determined, you might just give up. Only your commitment makes you continue running.
You eventually achieve 1,000 meters, and you realize that actually you can run this far! So you continue to run.
After 1,500 meters, you start to feel tired. By now your body is telling you that it is better to stop and rest; after all it is already a good exercise. You are tempted to give up. But because you had aimed — and are committed — to run for 3,000 meters, you still continue to run. You tell yourself: “I must finish the 3,000-meter course.” At this time, however, you need your self-motivation to take over. You start to make the exercise fun; you say to yourself: “Let us run just another 100 meters.”
After 2,000 meters, you see that continuing to make the exercise fun does work! So you hang on and continue that approach; you may change the “intermediate objective” and now say to yourself: “Let us run just another 50 meters.” You play game with yourself and continue making the exercise fun, and eventually achieve the 3,000-meter objective!
In internet business where you are working from home online, there are periods at the beginning where all your efforts produce nothing. It is not an easy journey. In fact, it is a very demanding journey. The followings are steps to ensure that you will finish your journey and succeed in working from home online:
1. Believe in yourself.
You must believe that you have unlimited potential, and that you can succeed in your endeavor — working from home online — no matter what the obstacles are.
When you take the internet business, you must believe that you can do it, that you are willing to and can do what it takes to succeed in working from home online. True, it will not be easy, but you must believe in your capability.
2. Use the MUST language.
The words you use on yourself represent the way you frame the thoughts in your mind. If you say “I would like to run the 3,000-meter course” instead of “I must finish the 3,000-meter course,” chances are that you will give up halfway. You finish the course because the word ‘must’ is firing off in your mind, compelling you to take immediate action. Remember that MUST is Making U So Tenacious.
Likewise, use “must” in internet business and it will get you what you want. Tell yourself, “I must succeed in working from home online regardless the roadblocks ahead.” Your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing.
3. Hang on.
Thomas Alva Edison said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Remember that a winner never quits and a quitter never win and that when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Internet business is not an easy field. There are many things to learn, many frustrating days to pass by. There are times you just want to quit, and those are times when you have to hang on and continue the journey until you succeed in working from home online. Richard Nixon expressed it rightly, “Defeat doesn’t finish a man – quit does. A man is not finished when he is defeated. He’s finished when he quits.”
4. Change the intermediate objective.
At the beginning you break your running objective into 500-meter laps, then into 100-meter laps and later on into 50-meter laps because that is easier and more practical.
In internet business there are moments when you have to change the objectives, perhaps because you select the wrong business or program, or do not see an opportunity nearby. You need to choose more promising program or take a good business opportunity you just see – those that will ensure results and successes in working from home online.
5. Have fun.
You need to have fun with your exercise and make a game out of it. Have passion on what you are doing. Digest what Anita Roddick said, “First, you have to have fun. Second, you have to put love where your labor is.”
With all its frustration and innumerable subjects to learn and to research, have fun with your internet business. Make a list of things to do for each day, and at the end of the day pat your shoulder for the achievement for the day. Better still, have a diary. Celebrate your success and achievement however small, whether it is an opportunity, an idea, a new affiliate program, or a sale (no matter how much), and finally the success of working from home online!
By practicing the above five steps you will be able to complete your journey to succeed in working from home online. You have to continue doing these steps over and over to stay successful in working from home online, because internet business is a never ending journey in a world without limit and barrier. Remember what St. Francis of Assisi said, “Start by doing what is necessary; then do what is possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
