Your Home Business Success Is Up To You

I've spent time over the past few weeks reading and paying attention to all the media hype over the current recession, both here in the US and worldwide. The news is depressing. This is the worst recession since the stock market crash of 1929. Making matters worse is the fact that in 1929 our currency was still backed by a gold standard. Today, it's all pretend money. With hedge funds, stock options, annuities, retirement accounts, bank notes, one country in debt to another who in turn is in debt to another and another, and so on, there is no such thing as real money anymore. In the words of that famous hamburger joint commercial in the 1980's, "Where's the money?" Answer, there is none. It's all pretend. This is profoundly terrible news, for sure. So what you might ask, does this have to do with your home business success? Everything.

Listen to all this depressing news for long and it's easy to feel like just giving up! Many network marketers are doing just that. Their dream of home business success and financial freedom has turned into a nightmare. Hope turns into despair under the onslaught of one "woe is me" news report after another. The nightly news has become the nightly "Death Knell." But I am here to tell you it doesn't have to be this way! Success is a choice. It has no more to do with what the news media has to say about the world financial climate than it does with what the weather channel says about the weather. The only person that can determine your home business success or failure is, you got it, you. Let's look a bit of history and see how this is so.

I wonder how many people told Wilbur and Orville Wright that their contraption would never get off the ground. Or how many people believed Thomas Edison was crazy, thinking it possible to light up a room without lighting a fire? Then there was Alexander Graham Bell. Hold a conversation with someone miles away using electricity and a bunch of wires? Yeah, Right! Were any of these men deterred by what other people had to say about what they could and could not do? No, they continued to press on, to pursue their dream, no matter what. And they succeeded. The truth is, no one but you determines your fate. Your home business success is within reach, so reach out and grab it! Don't listen to all the gloom and doom. Don't listen to the "Nay Sayers," there are plenty of them out there.

Instead, listen to your heart. Believe in yourself. Press on. Never give up on the dream. So what, if it takes you two years, three years, five, more, to realize true financial freedom, is it not worth it? Only you can answer that question. For me the answer is a resounding YES! How about you?
