You came to a point in your life where you feel very despondent, unmotivated, confused and feeling that nothing is working out for you. Everything you try is not going as planned and is failing. Wondering what in the world went wrong? How did i get to this point in my life?
You decide that this is the day you are going to give up on your dream and you had enough. Negative thoughts are rushing through you mind. I'm failing my business, my spouse, my kids and my dream. The vision i have is slowly fading away and i can't see it working out for me in the near future.
As an entrepreneur you are facing these feelings of uncertainty and failure often. Sometimes you might loose interest in your business, lack of enthusiasm to pursue your dream and feel like giving up. Your dream seems to fade away, you loose hope, giving up on your vision and your believes.
Hold on before you get completely unmotivated. You don't have to go through this roller coaster of emotions. There are a few ways that you can stay motivated while you are not getting results in your business. One way to look at it is successful people that also failed. Let us look at a few real life examples...
Howard Schultz was turned down 246 different banks and if he wouldn’t have gone one more time, there would be no Starbucks.
Ray Kroc was a failure his whole entire life until he stumbled upon a burger stand and ended up buying out that little burger stand and created McDonald’s in the 60s.
Elvis Presley was kicked off the Grand Old Opera Stage and told to go back to truck driving
These are just a few to mention who endured failure. Something I personally like to do is get up early in the morning when it's quiet with no one or nothing to disturb me, open up YouTube and watch motivational videos. This gets me pumped up and motivated to tackle the day and not let anything get me distracted. Jay Shetty has some awesome videos and its really motivational.
Go back and revisit your VISION. Let the vision of who you want to become pull you past these obstacles. You also should have a why and just having a why isn’t enough. You must have a vision of who you want to become and that is so powerful.
Take time to answer these questions:
Your vision is so critical to get you past the obstacles because there will be obstacles weather you like it or not. That is just a fact. Stay MOTIVATED and hopefully this was beneficial to you.

Not getting results is part for the journey. Success does not come easy, it takes hard work perseverance, heartache, improve your skills, sacrifice and most of all you must love what you do. How to become successful is to be persistent through failure. Most people are very persistent and I think you have to be persistent throughout failure. I also don’t think it’s perfect, but I think it’s a pretty good way to think about success. How to be successful is not the definition of success. It’s how to get to success. I believe it’s normal to be doing work and not getting results at times.
That’s NORMAL! - Keep GOING!
Be PERSISTENT!

Take time to answer these questions:
- What would I go for if I knew that I could not fail?
- Where would I like to see myself, my business or organisation in the next year, in the next five years, or in the next ten years?
- Were and how you want to spend time with your spouse and kids?
- How can I make a difference in society?
- Who am i?
- Who do I want to become?
