Entrepreneurs Persist To The End
Slow and steady wins the race. All the way back to that story about the slow tortoise beating the quick bunny, we've been taught that patience and persistence pays off in the end - especially when it comes to entrepreneurs and their businesses.
And you know what? "They" were right!
We see a very fine example of it in nature with the Chinese bamboo tree. Plant a baby bamboo tree and for the first four years water it and fertilize it - and see absolutely no outward results from your efforts. Nada. Then, in year five, water and fertilize just like you have for the previous four years. In five weeks you have a 90-foot tree! Here's the real proof in the pudding, though. Had you NOT watered and fertilized for those first four years that tree would have died and never lived up to that 90-foot potential.
A work from home business is like that; heck, life is like that. Just as you think your dream is not going to pan out, just as you think it's time to throw in the towel and quit - that's the time to redouble your efforts, put that Internet marketing plan into place - whatever it takes to see things through. It really is darkest just before the dawn, and if you don't stick around just a little bit longer you'll never see the sunrise. I, for one, like sunrises - a lot.
See the race through to the end and never give up on your dreams. Hold on tight just like a bulldog whose nose is slanted backwards so it can keep a grip and continue to breathe. Develop the habits of persistence and patience. And they ARE habits that can be developed and nurtured or allowed to wither and die. It's all up to you.
