Sometimes I feel like I'm doing the same thing over and over and not making any headway. Nothing seems to change, my business doesn't seem affected by the changes I am putting into it (not to mention the work or the ENERGY) and I feel like kicking back and stopping for awhile. Am I supposed to be slowing down or reving up....or is that more of a question on whether you LOVE what you do?
Feel like it....but don't. It is funny how I see how my Persistence pays off later, long after I believe it's not working or that I should be trying something new and scrapping the old ideas. With posting on AR and being busy, I have all but given up my articles. Yet they are still on the net, floating around and some are on some pretty wonderful sites---and are still being found. And after all this time I am still getting contacts from them.
I recently have been thinking about another website; goodness knows I have enough domain names and some of them are pretty good. Except that I am doing well now especially since I have put more time and energy into my old one, having it come up in places it didn't come up before. So am I spinning my wheels? I LOVE what I do but when am I doing enough?
Its fine to try new things and see the reaction to them but you may not know the outcome of a new "venture" for your business in the first few months. Or perhaps longer. I'm glad I've never been the type of person that gives up easily....as a matter of fact, I am just the opposite. Someone tells me I CAN'T do something for one reason or another and it will make me try harder-maybe just to prove them wrong. I guess I have that stubborn streak after all; which may have done well for me in this particular business. I certainly wouldn't have survived in it without perseverance.
The markets are difficult right now all over. But I am not reading on AR about Realtors leaving their fields....they also love what they do and will stick It out; using the "tried and true" and some new methods that just might work down the line. Isn't it the people that truly stick it out that really "make it?" I can think of a few people off the top of my head that have real persistence---and won't let anything stop them; They LOVE what they do! And if you've got that love, I believe it's a real attribute.
