These are questions that you must answer honestly within yourself. Most know deep inside whether it's time to quit or buckle down. You must decide for yourself. Consider this; 8 out of 10 small business in US will fail within two years. There is no financial value or moral obligation to continuing a losing enterprise. Sometimes you just need to start again.

Dealing with failure of any kind is an often- difficult task. Coming to term with loss of a business can be psychologically devastating to many. Because of this some will simply assume that because their business failed, they are somehow inferior and do not possess intelligence needed or simply are not "cut out" to operate a successful business. This could not be further from truth in majority of cases. Most simply acted on poor judgement or lacked tools needed to succeed.

I have yet to meet a successful business owner who has not failed before. What's difference between them and Owner-turned-9-to-5? They didn't let one setback cripple their hunger for success. Don't you!

I picture myself in a clear and definite situation. This way I'd see myself working with people I enjoy and who appreciate me and what I do for them. I would see myself spending quality time with my girlfriend at a fine restaurant. I'd see myself enjoying, tasting and living my life without any income, debt and work worries. I do this every single day.

Once I stop I'd give myself 15 minutes everyday to write everything down, what I saw and what I dreamed of.

I write all this in a positive and accountable manner. To give you an example of what your life could be let me show what a goal would be for someone who answered yes to my first example.

"I want to quit that job I don't like"

would become:

"I want to start my own business in fishing industry. Fishing is my primary hobby for 10 years and I know a great deal about it. Many will be interested in what I have to offer. And I want this business to provide me a comfortable living by 30th of September 2000."

"I want to stop working from 9 to 5, five or six days a week."

Would become:

"I want to spend most of my time enjoying myself and playing with my kids and for that matter I want to dedicate no more than 4 to 5 hours a day 4 days a week with that fishing business."

I guess you get point.

What you write must be:

1. Affirmative. You must write it in a clear positive manner.

2. Goal oriented. Your statements must define what you are expecting from life. You must make them clear on what you want and when you want it.

Once you start doing this exercise on a regular basis, your goals becomes clear and it acts as a motivation for your business.

This is not a flimsy psych up, it is a deep introspection on what you are really expecting from life and on what is truly important to you. Once you start seeing that movie on blank wall you not only define what you want. You live it! It will become so true that you'll want to live that every day for a full day. And this time you'll want to live it for real.

Do this exercise for next three days. Take one hour a day to imagine and discover what you really want and how you want it to be. Write it down as I showed you. Then you are ready to develop your business further.
