I had just lost my gold mine. I was betting on them failing at trying to develop a software program that they had no expertise. Had I made right decision? Now I'm being beat up by wave of discouragement and stress. And man was it stressful! I struggled for next 18 months trying to reload and restructure my business.

Just when I had finally turned my business back around again, I got news from one of my customers that Software Company that had taken away my gold mine went out of business. Hallelujah I thought. Not only did I get my foot back in door with my original customer base, but I also picked up a ton of customers from Software Company that went out of business. Again, I'm riding High wave of success and satisfaction.

Are you prepared for challenge?

Everything Passes…

All you have to do as an entrepreneur is to realize that you must always look beyond your present situation. Whether you're riding High wave of success and satisfaction or being beat up by waves of discouragement and stress, it all will pass.

Your job is to weather storm.

What was I doing wrong? I followed advice for classified ad headlines, and how to "step into your readers' shoes." Those shoes don't fit! Think I should try a bigger pair?

So now I'm paying for classified ads, ezine ads and e-books to give me that "magic" formula. Guess what? There is no "magic!"

What does work? Perseverance. After a year I'm finally making a few bucks. The longer I work, and harder I work, more bucks I get. I'm finally making progress! Hurrah!

Instead of trying to promote every one of affiliate programs that catches my eye, I do a bit of research. I choose those that have best fit - for me. Then, I advertise those select few!

No more running in twenty different directions trying to advertise fifteen or twenty programs! You can email me for a *very* short list of ones I think are worth work!

The moral of this story? There are no "get rich quick" programs. There is no "easy" way to wealth. There's only good, old-fashioned, get down to nitty gritty WORK!

At this point I'm still working hard, and smarter... but I'm not crying anymore!
