Today is the day you are down on everything. You are writing newsletters, creating contests, joining free groups and promoting those that are beneficial to you. You are moving, but nothing is shaking. Your business, to you right now, is a failure, AND your self-esteem sucks!

What do you do? Let me start with a short story about my self-esteem and failing business.

Today was the day. I woke up this morning struggling with numbers that I do not have and working towards goals that I cannot visualize right now. Although the sun was shining outside, a hurricane was happening on the inside. I had friends to encourage me to keep going and working towards the prize, but I felt like, I cannot bring myself to do that right now; the pity party is going well! Each business is failing; no dollars, no sense. Now what?

This brings me to why I can help motivate you in your day of failing businesses and low self-esteem. There is nothing you CANNOT do if you put your mind to it. Okay, so that is not so new, but think about it. If you can negatively talk yourself out of accomplishing a lot today and putting yourself down, you can positively talk yourself into being a billionaire at the end of the year! Try it!

The next thing is to get rid of the things around you that are NOT working. Look at what you are using to promote your business. Is it professionally rounded? Meaning, did you spell check? Does the picture go with the article? Are you sending out your articles in a timely fashion? Are you mixing business with pleasure on Face-book, hence missing your mark for new clients? If being on social networks is not working for you, then you are just wasting time and time is not FREE!

What about the people around you? Are they passionately supporting you? If not, stop sharing your insights. They are waiting to hear the music in the background of your pity party. Believe me I know; I have people bringing chips and dip to mine so it is time for them to go (at least on business).

Are you only marketing and promoting online? If so, your city knows nothing about your business. It is time to take the OLD bull by the horns and attend face to face networking events right in your own backyard. Incidentally, have a networking event IN your own back yard and invite friends of friends. The people the non-supporters know who actually need your services.

Today about an hour ago, your business was a failure and your self-esteem sucked, but now you are motivated to get moving again and gain momentum. Remember you are looking at the prize of being a billionaire at the end of the year. You cannot obtain the vision if you cannot look past today!
