For all of us in the online business world, there are times when the motivation slows down and our business seems to be at a standstill. We start asking ourselves if we are doing the right thing by carrying on, but there is a question that can be asked at this time “How big is your why?”

Why are you doing this, why are you working all hours online and spending your time with prospects and customers. The answer is for you to know and decide, maybe it is because you are working towards a dream you have always had, whether it is just having your own business, or to make an income to replace your present or recently lost salary. Or perhaps you have decided that you want to work from home so that you can watch your children grow. Whatever it is, the reason why must be so big that it cannot be ignored.

Sometimes when it becomes hard and your business is in a bit of a slump, you might well wonder if it is worth all the work. Well it is said that the only way you can fail is to give up, this is true in the majority of cases and it is at these times you must think of the reasons why you started and what would be lost if you stopped.

So think positively, imagine how your life will be when you get to where you want. How you can spend more time with your family, visit the places you have never been to, live the life you have always aspired to. The reason why you are doing this must overcome any fears you have of failure, being positive is a mindset to work on and with.

The same goes when you are talking to your prospects, if they have doubts about their ability to achieve, then ask them the same question ‘how big is your why’. It is a philosophy of belief and faith and of never giving up whatever gets in your way to keep you going onwards and upwards.
