It’s easy when you’re frustrated, tired and overwhelmed to want to give up… I’ve been there.
I’ve actually felt that way before but I did everything I could when I first made the decision to make a full time income from home to eliminate any kind of way that I could use to back out! haha. I knew it was going to be hard entering this world that I had no idea about previously. So I took the option away from myself so that I had nothing to fall back in and so I had to find the way.
I found the way and I’m here to help! I promise you it’s worth it if you fully commit and get the right tools!
Here are some quotes about not giving up and below them are some inside to strengthen your mind so you can get strong!

Sometimes, the things that we won’t the most require courage. And focus. Don’t forget why you started…

If you really think about it, every invention that you use today without a single thought was created by a person who had to fail 10,000 times before they found the way. Everyone you perceive to be successful or genius had to face temporary defeat that felt and looked to them at the time like permanent defeat.
The reason this should matter to you right now is because they almost gave up right before they broke through… Right after their temporary defeat, they finally found the way.
Don’t ask me why or how this works because I don’t know. But I can say that I have been through this personally in my life…
If you are feeling so frustrated going after whatever it is that you really want and keep feeling the need to pull back even though you know you want it, it’s because there’s something in you that is in conflict with what you want. It will be very valuable to figure out what that it.
For example, if you really want to have a passionate, unbelievably loving, and out of your mind amazing relationship but at the same time you have an unconscious belief that you don’t want to commit to anything… you are going to have trouble.
You need complete alignment with yourself and what you truly value in order to get that feeling of effortless progress.
The first thing that I would recommend to you is really sitting down and writing down what you value most in your life.
Then write down what values would need to drive you to accomplish what you are aiming for.
If you want real in depth insight on how to do this thoroughly, go get the book “Lessons In Mastery” by Tony Robbins.
Here’s what you can do to set yourself up to win right now…
1. Get Honest. Get really honest about where you are right now. By the way, it’s good if you look at where you are and you don’t like where you are. Because as humans beings we were meant to grow. We were meant to create what we want.
And we all know if we aren’t growing, we’re dying.
2. Clarity. Get so clear on what you want. Get very clear on what that looks like and start picturing those images in your mind every day.
What would your life look like if you had no limitations?
3. Get a Mentor. Find someone who has already accomplished what you want to do and model that person. Study that person. There is no need to reinvent the wheel here and if you attempt to, you are going to needlessly frustrate yourself.
4. Begin To Act Immediately. Do something right away to commit you to follow through. Whether that’s get yourself involved in a community and publicly state what you are going to accomplish, or make an appointment with someone who can help you get there.
“If no new action has been taken, you haven’t truly decided” – Anthony Robbins
This is important because everything that you will need to accomplish something very different than you have already will not show up to you until you fully commit that you are going to do this no matter what it takes.
5. Cultivate Belief. You can even begin when you can’t see the vision so clearly with absolute detail… Your detail on your vision can get clearer over time. The trick to sticking to what you’ve decided you are going o create for yourself is to consistently cultivate that belief so that your vision is always in front of you.
This is also important to stay focused.
When I first started working online, I couldn’t believe how hard it was to direct my focus off of what I habitually focused on which was lack, poverty, watching tv shows, playing around on Facebook…. not income producing activities at all.
How you keep your vision in front of you and train your mind to focus on what you want is to read what you got clear on and wrote down in step #2.
Read it daily. Read it as often as possible. When you have a thought or engage in a habit that gets in the way, read that. As time goes on, you will find your mind automatically going there and will need to refer to it less, you will find yourself just taking action.
