Patience, The Missing Ingredient To Success
Patience, The Missing Ingredient To Success By Jenean Matthews
Somewhere online someone gave out the impression that because we
can click on a link and be transported to a site in an instant,
that starting an online business would be the same way.
Unfortunately, starting an online business, or any business,
does not move as fast as DSL. It takes time.
If you were to bake a cake from scratch, you wouldn't expect to
mix all the ingredients together, put the cake in the oven and
30 seconds later take it out and presto, it is done. It takes
time.
NEWSFLASH: Time is not a four-letter word.
Most things that you have accomplished in life have taken time.
It took time for you to learn how to walk, talk, and eat by
yourself. It took time to get through school and get a J.O.B.
It's going to take some time to get your business going. If you
haven't arrived at success yet, it's ok.
I've read a lot of the articles, books and tips on starting an
online business. I've put most of them to use in my business.
Those strategies make up most of the ingredients to your online
success. You submitted your site to the search engines,
submitted to FFAs for link popularity, placed free and paid
classified ads, used banner ads and other suggestions offered.
These ingredients to your success should be used on a consistent
and persistent basis. But if you leave out patience your success
is liable to come out flat.
What does patient really mean. One of the definitions of patient
in the dictionary is one who is capable of bearing delay and
waiting for the right moment. Notice the definition says there
is a delay. Success will happen it's just delayed. Why is it
delayed, it's waiting for the right moment.
So how do you remain patience while waiting on your success?
1. Keep consistently and persistently utilizing all the
ingredients to your success. 2. Don't compare yourself to
others. You measure your success against your own personal goals
and not against the rate or speed someone else seems to be
accomplishing their own goals. 3. Set a long-term goal, then set
short-term goals that you can accomplish quickly and easily.
This will keep you motivated. 4. Visualize your success. 5.
Speak words of encouragement to yourself daily. 6. And remember
the Words of God: "But let patience have its perfect work, that
you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." (James 1:4
NKJV)
