Have you ever had one of those days, or weeks, or years. I was going so good, doing my class, updating my pages and boom! Everything hit. I closed my computer without saving one of the pages I was working on and it got deleted, I had worked on it all day. I was so frustrated. I did not even want to go back and redo everything. So I have not logged in at all since. That will teach me right?

Well no. Now I am a week behind. Or I feel a week behind. I wanted to give up, just forget trying. This is a stupid idea anyway right? Who can make money just typing blogs on the internet. Convincing myself that I am wasting my time with this business I took the week off. Then it hit me.

I am so very self destructive! I know that many people make money doing just what this site teaches. I have friends doing this now. Many of you all have said you are making money on this site and others you have created. As I said previously I am not the entrepreneur. I have no self motivation. So this is a struggle for me. My little set back makes me want to quit. Then I saw the little quote I have hanging in my office,"

“How does one become a butterfly?" she asked. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”

― Trina Paulus, Hope for the Flowers

I love this quote. It reminds me of how I need to want things so badly that I have to give up the things that get in the way. So I am fighting my natural instinct to just quit. I am fighting my instinct to go and get a "normal"job. I am also trying a few motivational things to help. At the beginning of each work week, under my butterfly quote, I am putting 1 thing I am giving up and why. I will share my first with you.

1. Playing video games during my work hours (Wed - Sun, 12:30 to 9:00 pm). I work shift work so my hours are a little strange.

Why I am doing this crazy thing?

1. To be able to stay at home in easy reach of my daughter who has medical challenges.

My hope is every time I feel like quitting I can look at my quote and my reasons and give myself a little pep talk. I really wish I had all of you as next door neighbors so we could meet and give each other these little incentives, but for now this will have to do for me and I will continue to try to comment on your pages and give you encouragement.
