Things To Do When You Feel Like Quitting Your Online Business. Motivation: 4 Steps to the Death of Someday.
There are many business skills that need to be learned during your online business venture, but there is one that needs to be mastered. That skill is the ability to not give up, despite many failures along the way.
Here are 9 things that you can do when you feel like quitting your online business. It has worked well for me and others. It can help you too.
1. When you do feel very stressed out, frustrated, angry, and about to quit, take some nice, deep cleansing breaths. This will relax your mind and body.
2. If you feel like quitting, step back and give yourself some breathing room. Don't spend too much time online. Instead, spend shorter times going through your business (15 minutes each time).
3. Exercise is one of the best stress relievers that you should do on a daily basis. Walking, running, dancing, or whatever form of exercise you choose has many benefits for a stress free mind while building your online business. Do this on a regular basis.
4. Shut the computer down for the day and turn your attention to other things in your life that make you feel absolutely great. Anything that takes your mind off your business can and will help.
5. Tell yourself that you are a winner. Winners like you never quit, and quitters never win. You are not like them. You have to know that you are a winner no matter what.
6. Don't give up and quit when you feel like it. Success could be just around the corner. Desperation has a way of getting your mental juices flowing and there just may be a solution in that flow. Now, if you were just one step away from reaching your goal, would you take that step? What a shame it would be to stop making the effort, when just a little bit more would make it all worthwhile. What a shame it would be to have taken all those steps, only to miss the very last one. The next step you take may very well be the one that makes all the others count. At some point success is just one step away. Keep going and you'll be there.
7. Many successful people online today overcame many obstacles and road bumps along the way. Every time you feel like quitting, think about those people and know that they never quit when things were down for them.
8. Reading motivational books and listening to tapes can be a great way to stay motivated. It has great powers to inspire people. Everyone does it and you should too.
9. Giving up is NOT an option. Look for other ways to improve your business until you do find what works for you.

One of the main keys to success in life is to get rid of our silly belief in "someday."
You know, the sentence that starts with "someday I'll...........
get in better shape
spend more time with my family
lose weight
take the kids to Disney
get more organized
start my own business
(fill in the blank)."
Just make sure you fill in the blank with something you never want to see happen, because here comes the bad news - someday never comes.
A really nice way to get your head around the notion that someday never comes is to grab a calendar and take a look at the days of the week. Let's see, my calendar has:
Monday - For those of us you love what we do, a pretty cool day. For the "Garfields" out there, not such a great day.
Tuesday - "Sic transit gloria mundi-- Tuesday is usually worse." - Starman Jones
Wednesday - Hump day and all that.
Thursday - Good TV night.
Friday - TGIF.
Saturday - Sleep late.
Sunday - Used to be a day of rest. Rinse and repeat.
If you review the above list, you'll notice that you just can't find Someday anywhere. So not only does someday never come, it doesn't even exist!
So what do we do? After getting rid of the notion of someday, here's a 4-step plan to turn your somedays into something real.
1. Set a goal
Pick something that up until now you have said you will do "someday." This answers the question "What do I want?"
Let's say you want to get into better shape by exercising for 30 minutes or more a day, five times a week. After choosing your goal, next you......
2. Turn your someday into one day
A goal is just a wish (a someday) with a deadline." To turn your someday into one day, you want to set a target date. This answers the question "When do I want it?"
In our example, you can say that 90 days from now, you will be exercising 30 minutes or more a day, five times a week. At this point it's helpful to do two things:
write your goal down and keep it somewhere that you can be reminded of it each day
share your goal with someone else who will hold you accountable.
3. Commit to small daily actions
Most large goals are accomplished through small daily actions repeated over time. This answers the question "When am I going to do this?"
Many people give up on their goals because they seem too large or will take too long. Here's where you narrow your focus - for our example, it's saying "Just for today I will exercise for at least 30 minutes." For just right now, for today only, it does't matter what you did yesterday, and it doesn't matter what you will do tomorrow. "Today I will!"
4. Take at least one immediate action
This is such a powerful yet little used trick. Whenever you decide to set a goal, before you leave the scene of that decision take at least one concrete action toward your goal.
This answers the question "When will I get started?" with RIGHT NOW! This gets you started right away, allows you to experience some immediate success and builds momentum.
In our example, you could begin exercising immediately, or call and schedule an appointment with your doctor, a fitness coach, or to check out the local health club.
Following these four steps allows you to do something that surprisingly few people ever get to do:
turn your someday into one day and soon one day will be today!
