Internet Home Business Mood
posted by Tanny
This last week was slow, so slow it was going backwards, this is the only way I can describe it, I wanted to share this bad week with you all, so you all know the working from home can be very hard in the beginning.
When you first looking for you new internet home business, you always stumble on ads like: "sign up for free and earn $3000 per month" "Automated system to help you achieve financial freedom in less then one year" "only 3 referrals and it's free".
All those adds are true.
But this doesn't come to you over night,you don't just sign up and watch your account growing daily, to earn the money and gain the financial freedom you must work for it, and this work is hard, this is a business, and like any other business you need to treat it like one.
The hardest thing is finding time to invest in your business, most of the new internet business owner are working a full job and they have an internet home business as a second job, yes it is a second job, some invest one hour a day and other may invest 6 or even 8 hours a day, they will work on their internet business on every spare second they have.
Saying this, this is why sometimes you will find yourself "not in the mood to work", you are tired and unmotivated, you can't look at your computer, your brain feels like a raisin, so shrunk you cannot think any more.
Does it sounds familiar?
This was my last week, I was so unmotivated, I worked so hard the week before and got no sign ups, no new commissions it was so frustrating and then I noticed I had 2 cancellations and 2 opt-outs, all I wanted to do is crawl in the a hole and sleep. Add to it that my husband had hard time at work, I had no mood to do any work.
But,
And this is a big BUT, I knew I had to do some work. My business is still new, and it is not automated like some other business out there, so I asked for some encouragement from my fellows internet business owners on the PipsPowerGroup Forum and I got so many responses.
Some of them are in the same situation like me, they had a bad week, or they are tiered and don't find the time for their business, but like me they want to succeed and they are doing all they can to do something.
They gave me some great tips, nothing new by the way, just a reminder to get me motivated again and back on track.
-take a day off
-read a book
-take a walk
-go to the gym
-go to sleep
-the one i liked the most was from Jeff Casmer: "Most people wont work hard today this is where I get the competitive advantage....."
This is something to remember - every time you don't work someone else will beat you to the top.
I took one day off to clear my head, get some new ideas, sleep, gain some energy, then I woke up in the morning with a new affiliates notifications and some commission notification, it was encouraging and that gave me the energy I was looking for.
Now I back on track, I am working slowly, but I am working and I am building my business, so one day I will wake up and go straight to work on my internet home business and earn money working from home.
This is my story, it was a hard week but it ended and there is a new productive week coming in.
I have my "to do" list ready and I am ready to work hard to make my dream come true.

Great post Tanny - it's good to hear these personal experiences and know that this is a real business with blood, sweat and tears - not just some easy pie-in-the-sky that many people think it is.
I'm sure we can all relate to how you felt last week - I know I can - but when we look after ourselves and step back a bit, we can then come back refreshed, knowing that our efforts will pay off in future.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Tanny,
Great post.
I know that feeling only too well as I'm still going out to work full time and I always try to aim for 3 hours work a day on my online business.
I only go out to work 4 days a week but I have to put in nine and a half hour shifts and work at ridiculous times.
Somehow I always manage to get myself to the computer and put some work in though although some days I just can't manage the whole 3 hours.
It's good to hear you are now back on track after taking time out and from the support you were given in the forum.
Keep at it Tanny! We all know we can make it!

Hello Tanny,

Hi, Tanny,
I don't think there's any business owner out there who never have 'down moment'. The different is: those who has quality of entrepreneur will find a way to conquer the challenges, while others just give up. I know which one you are :)
Thanks for sharing, Tanny

Hi Tanny,
Thanks for sharing your personal experiences.I know how it feels as I am holding 2 jobs, the second being this business. I still managed to work 5 hours daily. I always tell myself I'm working for long term gains not short term results.

Oh, Tanny, I so understand. I am there! I have my days where I am so unmotivated. But I also love the support system at PPG.
Hi Tanny,
I really appreciate good honest posts like this one.
Not only do you tell it like it is, you show us how you DEAL with the IM blues. I am convinced that writing about stuff like this is the way through it. You have just turned your difficulties into something positive by confronting it in writing.
That's leadership!
