Well, Well, Well for you to have clicked on this blog post it means I’m slowly losing you, but you should be proud of yourself for trying to find answers to this problem, so you can push yourself to keep going in your life and business that you have dreamt of.
But we both know you’re struggling with the thoughts of GIVING UP.
I would never judge you and no one else should, I was in the exact same pain when I was making my blog.
One moment I was really determined to make my blog and I could sit all day laughing and smiling about how proud I was to be taking steps to achieve my dream, then I would have some days where I would think to myself what if I can’t make this work?
However, there was a time that I had the same thoughts, but it was worse than a blog, I had the same thoughts of giving up on life.
I know this may not be for everyone but there are times when you feel like the rug has been swept from under you for no reason.
The upsetting thing is that your reasons for being successful aren’t even selfish or over the top, most of you just want to provide for your family, get out of that rat race of the 9 to 5, say goodbye to being poor, and hello to financial freedom, and many other reasons that you may have.
SO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly one day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole, then it stopped as if it couldn’t go any further.
So, the man decided to help the butterfly he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bits of cotton the butterfly emerged easily, but it had a swollen body and shrivelled wings.
The man continued to watch expecting any minute for the wings to enlarge and expand enough to support the body, however, neither happened, in fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around, it was never able to fly.
What the man did not understand was that the restricted cacoon and struggle required by the butterfly to get through the opening was a way of forcing the fluid from the body into the wings so that it would be ready for flight once that was achieved.
What this story means is that in life we’re going to have struggles, however, it’s how we handle struggles that will make or break us.
This doesn’t mean that others can’t help on the way, but there are times in life when you’re going to have to push through the hardships to make your destination.
Just remember, the world isn’t only picking on you, we all have to go through things, it’s all down to how you handle a situation.
I know you were probably expecting your journey not to be as hard, but this quote I heard from Grant Cardone sums this up…
“Remember everything takes three times as much”
– Grant Cardone
This is very true for example, have you looked at a video on YouTube and said to yourself “They make it look so easy!
Put this in mind next time you start something, at least you won’t be shocked at how hard it really is, and quit straight away, you would have carefully planned things out and become more prepared for the struggles ahead.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that you should be proud of your struggles, since it means you’re pushing through and getting out of your comfort zone.
Some so many people play not to lose, but this mentality makes them shrink and play so safe they never accomplish anything.
But for you to be considering giving up it must show that you have a huge boulder in your path, that can be moved.
Don’t beat yourself up, just realize that your task may take more effort and time even though you have put a lot of effort already.
THAT’S NICE ADVENTAGO BUT HOW DO I SOLVE THIS?
This only works if your reason is strong enough…
1. The first thing you can do to Have endless determination is to look in the mirror and say out loud why you got started.
This method is super powerful since it’s reminding your brain not to lose focus of the destination, a lot of extremely successful entrepreneurs say their affirmations in the morning and at night.
It is a great way of telling yourself the reason why you should not give up, for example, “I’m doing this for my kids”.
2. The second part of how to never give up, is by telling yourself what you would lose if you gave up, as humans we react a lot faster when something scares and hurts us.
That’s why most people take action when there is no other option left, so look in the mirror and tell yourself what the negatives are if you give up, for example, “If I don’t make this business work then I won’t be able to provide for my kids”.

“Success leaves clues.”

This is a very true statement since it can show you what you have to do in order to reach the goals you want in life.
A great thing to do is look at what the successful people in your niche are going and try and get some information.
This will save you a lot of headaches trying to solve problems yourself when you could have simply gone to someone who has already felt, and been through your pain.
IN CLOSING
If you are one of those people who are desperately looking for motivation not to give up, then I am really happy that I caught you.
Since for you to have chosen the entrepreneur path you must have the power not to give up, however even if you don’t harness this skill yet, over time you will become better and better until you are strong-minded and won’t let anything knock you off your goal.
Please stick around a bit longer, no matter what you’re going through, you will see light at the end of the tunnel.
Remember this…
