Patience, The Missing Ingredient To Success
| Category: Home Based Business - Getting Started | Date: 2003-06-19 |
Somewhere online someone gave out the impression that because we can click on a link and be transported to a site in an instant, that starting an online business would be the same way. Unfortunately, starting an online business, or any business, does not move as fast as DSL. It takes time.
If you were to bake a cake from scratch, you wouldnt expect to mix all the ingredients together, put the cake in the oven and 30 seconds later take it out and presto, it is done. It takes time.
NEWSFLASH: Time is not a four-letter word.
Most things that you have accomplished in life have taken time. It took time for you to learn how to walk, talk, and eat by yourself. It took time to get through school and get a J.O.B. Its going to take some time to get your business going. If you havent arrived at success yet, its ok.
Ive read a lot of the articles, books and tips on starting an online business. Ive put most of them to use in my business. Those strategies make up most of the ingredients to your online success. You submitted your site to the search engines, submitted to FFAs for link popularity, placed free and paid classified ads, used banner ads and other suggestions offered. These ingredients to your success should be used on a consistent and persistent basis. But if you leave out patience your success is liable to come out flat.
What does patient really mean. One of the definitions of patient in the dictionary is one who is capable of bearing delay and waiting for the right moment. Notice the definition says there is a delay. Success will happen its just delayed. Why is it delayed, its waiting for the right moment.
So how do you remain patience while waiting on your success?
1. Keep consistently and persistently utilizing all the ingredients to your success.
2. Dont compare yourself to others. You measure your success against your own personal goals and not against the rate or speed someone else seems to be accomplishing their own goals.
3. Set a long-term goal, then set short-term goals that you can accomplish quickly and easily. This will keep you motivated.
4. Visualize your success.
5. Speak words of encouragement to yourself daily.
6. And remember the Words of God: "But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." (James 1:4 NKJV)
