You want to quit? You want to be labeled a failure? Think again!

I hear about so many people that give up on so many things before they even give it a fair chance. Why did they even start? Did they research to see how long it would take for their project to blossom? Most likely they did not.

Let me tell you a short story. Many, many years ago, a friend with whom I had gone to High School told me this story. After graduating, he went immediately into the U.S. Marines. I, on the other hand enlisted in the U.S. Navy. I knew I was going to Viet Nam and I wanted at least a little bit of control over what happened to me. Anyway, around his fifth week at Parris Island during bootcamp he wanted to quit. He went to his Senior Drill Instructor and to his face he said he wanted to go home. What the DI said and did during the next 5 minutes changed my friend. Well the entire 3 months of bootcamp changed him. No Kidding! Seriously though, He told Mike that he was not giving up on him cause he had more potential than anyone he had seen and he was going to forget they had even had that conversation. He refused to let Mike quit. Mike thought afterwards, "Why had I given up, no one else had given up on me."

Mike gave up because he was looking at the now (the pain, the homesick). You know, all the negative things. Had he quit he would have missed out on so much in life. He traveled to 7 different countries. His college was paid for. He gets many benefits as a veteran now, etc.

The same applies to your Online Business. We look at the now and quit. You think that no one is paying attention to what you have done so you quit. The website is shutdown and, consequently, the advertising you did. The people you thought were not paying attention come to your site for your products and services and you are gone. The money you could have made, you now will not make. The extra time you could have spent with your family and on vacations will not happen. The financial freedom, being your own boss (what I call true freedom) will never be. Why? Because you quit way too early.

You say, "Well I have not made any money in six months! What am I suppose to do?" The answer ... Before you started you should have researched to see what kind of demand there was for your business. Set a schedule up for your business and stick to it. (ex. follow a daily schedule and set aside 1 hour for emails, 2 hours for advertising, etc.) The Internet is full of easy tools for building websites and you can find people that will help you. (Click the link below.)

You have got to continue to advertise, build up an opt-in list. These people will become your support, your customers and some may become your business partners through Joint Ventures. If you have done everything possible and still are not getting any sales, I would say take a close look at what you're doing and see what is wrong. There may be nothing wrong. It could just be your market and you should try looking into some other niche. You don't have to quite!

If you don't quit, keep looking for your perfect niche, than you will enjoy success on the internet and I challenge each of you to do this. The easiest way to find the perfect product and business is to just ask....go to forums. Ask people in your opt-in list. Ask them what they want or need to help with their problem. Take the answer you get the most and find a solution or a business to cater to it. This approach will bring you success most of the time. I guarantee it. Give it a try.

Most of the people who fail with their online business fail because they quit. You can join them or stick it out, achieve your goals and ultimately your dream of working full time from home. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to work for yourself from your own home. I know that it can be aggravating sometimes. Especially when just starting out. But remain positive and keep a positive outlook. Stay Motivated to do the work and be dedicated to it. Most importantly. it does require a lot of work, so work hard at it. Remember...you get back what you put into it so don't cheat yourself. I know you can do it and I will not give up on you.

All the best to your success.
