Broke, Desperate and at the End of Your Tether?

Have you been trying to start an Internet business and find
yourself broke, desperate and coming to the end of your
tether'

Well, you're not alone.

Here are samples of correspondence that I've received from
folks who are in exactly that situation.

" ...I have bought so many books I have lost count and am now
so totally confused (and broke) about what to do I'm just

" ...I am twenty years old and entirely dependent on myself.
I have no parents and I am out on my own trying to make my
way in this cruel world. I struggle to get by with my
current job as a bus boy and I am tired of living from
paycheck to paycheck. I am currently out of school and wish
to go back but I do not have the time nor the money. I have
dreams but do not have the time nor the money to pursue
them."

" ...I am a parent, divorced and am struggling to make ends
meet. I cannot quit my job."

" ...I desperately need more income."

" ...bill collectors hounding..."

" ...I am a mom of six children and I have tried and spent
thousands of dollars on trying to make money."

" ...as a two month veteran on the Internet I don't know if I
can take another hit. I feel like I've been 10 rounds with
Mike Tyson and I'm really thinking about staying on the
canvas. Thousands of dollars later and I'm still on the
starting line!"

" ...invested thousands of dollars of my savings in the last
two years in home business that I could not afford."

" ...burned really bad within the last two years for alot of
money."

Does that ring any bells with you'

Yes'

OK...I want you to pinch yourself to confirm that you're
still among the living.

Still here'

Good!

Where there's life, there's hope.

Now take a long, deep breath. Make that 10 deep breaths.

No, seriously. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and feel your
body relax.

Relaxed' OK, here are some suggestions.

First of all, focusing on losses won't help you win. Let go
of the past. What's done is done. Unless you can recoup some
of your money, learn the lesson, chalk it up to experience
and move on.

Next, work on building a mental image of yourself as an
extraordinarily happy and successful Internet entrepeneur.

Trust me, this works.

Failing my first attempt at air traffic control training, I felt
defeated, depressed and stupid. When given a second training
opportunity, I was reluctant to try, fearful of failing
again.

Then the little voice inside my head told me how much I
really WANTED that job. I also wanted to prove that those
who cast me aside the first time were wrong - that I COULD
do that job.
