When the Chips are Down, Encouragement Goes a Long Way
When the Chips are Down, Encouragement Goes a Long Way
By Denise Hall (C) 2003
Have you ever been so discouraged that you were ready to give
up? Do your dreams of a profitable home business seem very far
away at times?
I think we all go through it. We work into the wee hours of the
morning, day after day, night after night. At times it seems
that our hard work will never pay off. That no matter what we
do, no one is paying attention.
But chances are, that along the way someone, somewhere has given
you what you need to keep going and become successful.
What is it? A very simple thing, really. ENCOURAGEMENT!
Kind words and compliments can boost our self-esteem and keep us
going. They are the lifeblood of mankind. Sometimes they're just
the thing we need to realize that we CAN and WILL succeed in
achieving our goals, no matter what those goals may be.
In the last few months I've written several articles about
internet businesses. I've had many compliments about my work
from numerous ezine publishers and readers. I've also had home
business "newbies" ask for my advice to help them get their
businesses off on the right track.
Every time I get such e-mails I think, "Who, me? I'm GOOD at
this? Thank you very much. I'm honored that you enjoyed my work."
Let me just say that I'm not writing this article to toot my own
horn. I'm writing it to remind everyone how powerful words can
be.
Recently I was very honored and humbled to receive an e-mail
from someone who had just read one of my articles. Here is what
he said:
"Great article. I was very impressed.
You summed it all up rather nicely and concisely in a clear and
very readable message. Nice personal touches as well, to keep it
very human and real! I particularly like your down to earth
style and attitude. Well done, and
