“Numbers 2 through 5 describe why I came online at the end of 2005. The first year I made almost no money, but soon I connected with a wonderful coaching program and now I am living the life of my dreams.”

Kimberly Wagner - The Cheeky Lit Teacher/English Teacher Support and Resource

“Reason five most applies to my situation. I also believe I’m capable and have a specific skill set to offer. I’m focusing on building content right now; I’m not sure how I’ll be monetizing.”

“My reason for becoming an entrepreneur is a little different. I had been a stay at home wife on our little hobby horse farm for over 15 years but then my husband became ill and was diagnosed with kidney disease. He was forced to retire early and I needed to go back to work because the medical bills quickly depleted our retirement savings. I feel so blessed that the Internet allowed me the opportunity to follow my passion with the Internet and create my own business as a Social Media Specialist. There is no better time in history to become an entrepreneur!”

My intention and purpose of this post is that I want you to remember Why or What made you become an entrepreneur. Sometimes we forget why we became an entrepreneur. There are times you just want to throw in the towel and give up. Being an entrepreneur takes a lot of guts and determination to succeed. There are ebbs and flow with running a business just like the waves in the ocean.  Think back to the time when you became and entrepreneur. Remember what it was like? How did it make you feel inside? Can you see it. Bring those feeling and energy to the present.

3 things to keep the energy and momentum going as an entrepreneur

1) Surround yourself with supportive people. It’s great when you have family and friends with you on the same page. What do you do if you don’t have this? Find like minded people. Join organizations and associations that can support you and vice versa. Who you associate with is important. If you hang out with positive and successful people, you will also become successful. If you relate with negative and bitter people, imagine what the results would be.

2) Get a Mentor or a Coach- We all have a certain way of doing things. Sometime we are not able to see beyond where we are standing. With a mentor or a coach, they are able to help us look at things from a different viewpoint and they can hold us accountable. Another great support system here folks.

3) Stay on course and take daily action steps to get closer to your goal.
