"Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do!"
by Carol Oon
I really love that quote from Robert Schuller. Think about
it ~ "tough times never last, but tough people do". This
seems to have become my motto in life. If you were to ask
me if I'm tough, I would honestly have to say that
sometimes I'm tougher than at other times. Are you "tough"
when it comes to this crazy Internet business?
Whenever I think about past failures with my Internet
business, I wince. I've failed so many times. People
thought I was crazy to try a "home business" that promises
overnight wealth. There were times when I thought I was
crazy! It not only made me poor and miserable (because I'm
an "opportunity junkie", when I first started out, I joined
almost all the programs that came my way) but also
frustrated. I spent countless hours, money and effort
trying to make this business work.
I thank God that one day I managed to find the key to
success on the Internet. Not only have I learned how to run
my business so that it's simple to operate, but it brings
me a good income so that I'll be able to retire
comfortably. This is where toughness comes in. Even though
I spent so much time and money on the net, working very
late hours and seeing little return, I didn't give up! I
don't consider quitting an option and I'm so glad! Back
when times were tough, I told myself I couldn't quit
because I hadn't yet achieved the goals that were so
important to me.
Now, as I look back over those years of struggle and
frustration, I'm so glad I kept working. Otherwise I
wouldn't have the sense of achievement or the financial
independence that I enjoy today. And, best of all, I don't
have to work long hours anymore. I've made it!
Yes, I finally found the secret to my crazy "Internet
success" and, once you find it, your business will bring
you unspeakable joy. You'llsee that the nightmare of
trying to make your business work was just a passing breeze
~ nothing compared to the satisfaction and achievement
success brings you.
Persistence is one of the most important keys to success ~
on the Internet or in life. Don't give up easily,
especially when you're just starting out. Giving up is one
of the main reasons why many people don't achieve financial
success. Success could be just around the next corner but
you'll never know if you stop before you get there.
Worthwhile goals don't come easily. But, are you content to
live a life of disappointment and frustration rather than
go that extra distance to achieve them? Henry Ford and
Thomas Edison were just like you and me. The quality that
set them apart was persistence!
It's persistence that will lead you to the fulfillment of
your dreams. You may need to struggle through times of
disappointment and even ridicule but if you stick with it
... dreams do cometrue!
And so, my friend, through all of life's struggles, pain
and frustration, never think of giving up. I encourage you
to be the "tough" one who won't allow quitting to be an
option.
As the saying goes, "you are never a failure until you fail
to try" ~ so just keep trying. Remember, "tough times never
last, but tough people do".
