How Do You Measure Success?
Copyright 2001 Terri Seymour
When someone asks you if you are successful,
how do
you answer? How does one measure success?
You are a Mother and a housewife who decided to try
something
new, challenging and rewarding. So you
start an online business. You work hard for 6 months
and your income
is just starting to trickle in. You
are frustrated and close to giving up hope because
you think you are a failure.
STOP! and think about that for awhile.
What exactly constitutes a failure in this business?
Do you have
to be making $5000 a month by this time
to be a success? Who sets the standard for success
and failure?
As
for myself, when I first started Internet marketing
I didn't even know how to turn on a computer! Getting
as far
as I am today, to me is a great success! Do not
measure your success by how much money you make each
month!
Here
are a few things to think about when deciding
if you are a success:
1. Do you enjoy what you do?
2.
Have you made new friends and enjoyed relationships
with lots of interesting new people?
3. Do you get personal
satisfaction from working your
business?
4. Is your family proud of you and are you, yourself
proud of your
accomplishments thus far?
5. Are you building a clean and honest reputation?
6. Are you being true to yourself
and your customers?
7. Are you growing along with your business?
8. Are you more self-confident and sure of
yourself
and your capabilities?
9. Do you feel more in control of yourself and your
life?
10. In general,
are you happy about your business?
If you answered yes, to most or all of these questions,
I believe you are
success! Accomplishing all the above
tasks are the first steps to building your online
income. When you start
from the bottom and build a
business one day at a time, it will take time and if
you are not making a lot of money
after 6, 8, or 12
months, that does not make you a failure.
After the first steps fall into place and start
taking
effect, your income will grow and expand also. Do not
expect to start making money the minute your website
is
up. There are many misleading ads and scammers out
there that will tell you otherwise, but as long as you
work at your
business, build your reputation, and do
not give up, your income will follow.

that the amount of money you are making is the epitome
of
your success!
