Feeling
like you want to give up and go back to your “safer” life is 100% normal.
and the….
"FACT: Some people DO give up and go back to their old lives."
"FACT: You’re not some people."
If you’re building a business Part Time, I can assure you one
thing…
There will be times when you feel like quitting and going back to
the “safer” and “Comfort” life you have leave behind.
Even the job you hate sometimes seems a better option than
continuing pounding your head against the wall trying to break though in your
business.
So let’s talk about it.
Let’s shine a light on those undesirable thoughts that everyone
has but no one wants to talk about.
Let’s talk about the times you feel like quitting and giving up.
It’s No Wonder You Feel like Quitting
First… there’s nothing wrong with you if you’ve felt like quitting
your business.
You are completely normal!
- The Challenges: finding the time, beating back the exhaustion, feeling the
pressure to “do it all”.
- The Obstacles: tech issues, the mindset shifts from employee to business
owner, lack of focus.
- The Fears: fear
of failure, fear of success, fear of looking stupid in front of coworkers, fear
of rejection.
- The Negative Self Talk that is eating you up.
So here I am sharing that what can you do to
keep going, when you feel like giving up?
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED IN
THE
FIRST PLACE
- There was a reason why you
started your business.
- There was something you
desired… to get or get away from.
- There was something in your
life that you wanted and did not have.
- Go back to that.
- Remember the pain.
- Remember the yearning for
something better.
- You see, if the only reason you
started a business was because “you always wanted to” or “it seemed like
something fun to try”, you would have been gone a long time ago. You
would never have lasted this long.
- There’s something bigger.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO QUIT?
· Most times when we feel like
giving up on your business, it’s not the business at all…
- It’s some PART of your
business.
- Maybe it’s the business model.
- Maybe it’s the business you’ve
partnered with.
- Maybe it’s YOU!
· There are usually parts of your
business you’ve become frustrated with.
· You need to focus in on what
they are so you know what may need changing.

UNCOVER
THE SOURCE OF YOUR UNHAPPINESS
Now that you’ve zeroed in on what’s bothering you about your
business, it’s time to find out and really look at the source of your
unhappiness.
So you think maybe MLM isn’t for you. Why?
What is it that makes you unhappy with MLM as a business model?
- Does it have to talk to strangers?
- Is it trying to recruit family and friends?
- Is it the pressure you feel from supporting a team?
- If it’s talking to strangers and/or friends and family, you may
just need a different approach.
But if it’s team building that scares you and puts doubt in your
head, you may need to switch to a business model that doesn’t involve that
aspect of business building, like any other marketing model.
Have you become unhappy with your company?
- Maybe you are getting less attention from your leaders.
Well,
If you don’t believe in your company 100% it may be time for a
change.
And what if the source of your unhappiness is YOU?
What if you see yourself as somehow making mistake?
- Your lack of focus.
- Your lack of execution.
- Your ability to help others
- Your lack of success in any form.
When YOU are the reason you feel like giving up, you have 2
choices:
1. Work
on yourself to get better at your shortcomings, or…
2. Give
up on yourself and go back where you came from.
I know this is harsh, but these really are the only 2
alternatives.
When you uncover the true reason for your unhappiness, this
provides you with a clear path for change… if you want it.
REACH
OUT FOR HELP
This may seem obvious, but you might be surprised at how many
people feel like quitting and don’t reach out for help.
And that’s a shame, because there are so many people out there
willing to lend a hand.
Maybe the problem is that you’re afraid someone else will just try
to “get you”.
The kind of help I’m referring is…
Your skills (or lack of skills).
Your self-doubt.
Your ability to focus and take action.
There is help…
·
There are free trainings.
·
There are coaches available to
help.
So don’t be afraid to ask.
It beats quitting.
take a brake
Finally, one of my best tips is one of the simplest…
Sleep on it.
Lots of times when we feel like quitting, the best thing is to get
away from it for a while and go do something else.
Take some time to let your feelings calm down and come at things
when you’re less emotional and more rested.
Lots of times, that feeling of wanting to give up passes with a
little break.
