10 Best Home Based Business Success Tools No. 7 A Stubborn Determination to Keep Going
This is the seventh in a series of articles and videos that I have put together to reveal some hidden truths about what you need to succeed in any home based business. Here is the list at a glance:
No. 1 - A Great Marketing System
No. 2 - A Fantastic Sponsor or Business Coach
No. 3 - A Millionaire Mindset
No. 4 - A Big Dream That Fuels Your Engine
No. 5 - A Strong Desire to Succeed
No. 6 - A Powerful Belief in Your Own Ability
No. 7 - A Stubborn Determination to Keep Going
No. 8 - A Continuing Education
No. 9 - A Purpose Beyond the Money
No. 10 - A Product You Can Connect With Personally
Ranking number 7 on my list of 10 best home based business success tools, having a stubborn determination to keep going is often the only difference between success and failure.
We've all seen the football game that comes down to one play. The underdogs have fought back and have victory in their grasp. This is the play that means the championship or a crowd of thousands booing them. The player with the ball has just 3 yards to the goal line, but 5 players from the opposing team have grabbed him from all sides with more players piling on trying to bring him down. Somehow he stays on his feet, inching his way step by tackle-laden step. The sweat pours down his face and into his eyes; the pain of his burden twisting his features into a maniacal grimace. The crowd is going wild and you can see he is losing strength.
Nothing but pure stubbornness kicks in, giving him the muscle to push one more agonizing step over the goal line before he collapses under the weight of his opponents. He has singlehandedly carried half the opposing team a distance of 15 feet and carried his team and his hometown to victory.
Let's face it, building a successful home based business is not easy - you've heard it before, if it were easy everyone would be doing it. Thousands try every year and most fail; why? One reason and one reason only: they give up when it gets tough, or too much time passes with no results. It is hard, it is work, it is discouraging, and it is disheartening at times. But the only thing that the ones who make it do differently than the ones who don't is that they just refuse to quit.
I've talked about persistence in other articles, and a lot of people ask me: how do I keep going? How do I hang on in the face of such odds? This is where the answer seems to be the most elusive, complicated mystery, but in fact this is where it gets very simple: just keep going. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time. If others have gone before you and made it, keep following in their footsteps. Ignore the naysayers, ignore the mental exhaustion and just keep going.
One way that I have used to engage my stubbornness is actually the next item on my list of 10 best home based business success tools - No. 8: A Continuing Education. In my next article I illustrate how taking a mental recharge by seeking new information can not only give you an edge, it can sometimes make the puzzle pieces you've been struggling with fall right into place!

Books for Women Entrepreneurs
- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!
