Ever get FRUSTRATED with your business? Read this...
Published: Thu, 02/27/14
I get frustrated, so I'm sure you do sometimes as well. It's totally normal. However, you can't stay stuck there. You absolutely MUST break out of it if you want to move forward and experience success in your business.
In my recent posts on ClickNewz I've been talking about topics like success, money, motivation and happiness - as it relates to my personal experience over the 17 years I've been in business.

There are a lot of ups and downs in life, and of course in business, many of which I've shared my own experience with in some of those posts. Stay tuned too, because there's more great advice coming in future posts, based on my own (good AND bad!) experiences. ;-)
When You Feel Frustrated...
Too often, one of the first responses to frustration is to derail yourself from your priorities or goals. As in "give up" and look for something new to excite you again, or something new that is going to "fix all your problems."
The thing is, you likely already have all the skills and tools you need to do what you need to get done. I'm guessing you are working with a great idea, and already have a foundation in place.
Maybe you're frustrated because things aren't moving forward fast enough. Maybe you're struggling with Time Management - too much to do, and never enough time to get it all done. (You're not alone on either of those points!)
I Can Tell You What WILL NOT Work...
- Spending your limited time studying more new ideas, when you could spend that same time working on building out or scaling your business.

Spend your time implementing what you already know works.
- Wasting time researching solutions or better ideas. There is no Easy Button. Trust me, after 17 years, if there was... I would have found it by now. If your idea was good enough to start a business on, and had you excited at one point, see it through.

Building a business is work. Just do the work.
- Skipping around from one thing to another. All this does is keep you scattered and distracted. Decide what you want to do, and go ALL IN on getting it done.
Get Disciplined. Hold Yourself Accoutable To Your Goals!
No matter where you are in the process, just buckle down and do the steps. Embrace where you are, and get grounded in that space. Figure out what ONE thing you can do today to move things forward, and do it. And continue doing that, one task at a time, always moving toward your main goal.
That is exactly what got me where I am today.

Not one day at a time. One TASK at a time.
Also: Stop paying attention to what other people are doing, stop over-thinking things, stop trying to jump ahead too. Work where you are, on what's in front of you, only.

Get super focused on TODAY, and what you can do RIGHT NOW to build or scale your business.
I get frustrated too. Sometimes I have to "force myself" through the tasks in front of me. I was actually just talking about that on Facebook recently:
