Getting past survival mode in you home business can be tough

Are you becoming a professional at just surviving week to week in your home business? After about a year and 4 months I was. I even had my emotions pretty much under lock and key. But that was a matter of neccesity given the fact the money you invest without very many results.

I'm still very much a part of networking my opportunity. I almost caved in a few times and gave up, and you probably know what I'm talking about if you think your home business is the greatest thing. It's hard to imagine letting go, and wished others felt the same way and joined your team.

I was a part of every traffic generating device that had a lot of members, and hardly any success to speak of. I had this resolve to succeed, and try not think about my problems because that would bring failure. Maybe I'm hard wired to stay inspired no matter what, but I think many of us are like that.

I have spent a lot of money on warm market leads, and have spent a lot of time on the phone. These leads get passed around so much, it's even crazy to consider this kind of marketing. Calling a hundred people in 2 maybe 3 days to get 1 or 2 intersted prospects with no guarantee's. No thank's not no more.

I was a desperate survivor, a professional one at that. Should I spend the money one more time on a traffic generating promise? But I was lucky to get a grip most of the time, because I knew the results would be nothing, just the same old thing.

I never was one to drive my sponsor crazy with a ton of questions. But one day he was not returning my messages, I figured he had thrown in the towel. But not me, I would survive this not going anywhere in my business and find that solution. I had a vision, and wanted a successful downline.

When it comes down to it, we can get a grip on our destiny if we don't let go and stop looking and learning. I still read things that might give me new idea's, and will even sit in on web training classes. That's how I came across a very unique system that made marketing crystal clear. I am no longer a professional survivor, and I pass this system to each new downline member that join my business.
