You have no support system or the one you have is pathetically inadequate for the goals you’ve set. You’re so tired that the couch is looking more and more inviting everyday. You have bills piling up and you probably ought to get a real job anyway. The failure rate is statistically high and nobody is going to fault you if you quit.

Who really cares if you give up and quit now? You do. Every good salesman knows that you must believe in your product or else be able to do a good job of acting like you do. It’s no different whether you are marketing products, policies, revolutions, or people. Marketing is marketing. Overall image and believability is king. So how does that play out when you are trying to market yourself? My favorite part of the Noah’s Ark story is not that he listened to his god and therefore managed to save mankind and the animals, and it’s not the rainbows, or even the dove as a symbol of divine peace and love.

1. My favorite part happens long before the rains begin to fall.
2. I love that no matter how much people laughed and scoffed at what he was doing; Noah still went right on building that ark.

1. Think about how many days, weeks, months it took to build that thing and all the while they were mocking him.
2. His commitment and tenacity is an awesome example of doing what you believe in no matter what those around you might think.
3. Noah was willing to look foolish in the eyes of everyone around him so that he could fulfill his destiny.
4. As an entrepreneur, I find that story quite inspirational.
5. How many of us were laughed at or mocked when we first started our adventures into self- When we think of prosperity and of creating abundance, it’s easy enough to see how working at a job that we love helps us to earn more money then if we worked at a job we hated.

We can also see that if we add plenty of love and warm-fuzzies towards how we treat our coworkers, bosses, employees, and customers, then it makes sense that people will like doing business with us and we’ll again earn more money. We can understand how putting our love into the product or service that we sell makes for a superior product or service and therefore raises the perceived value of that product or service. Here’s the hard part… it holds true in our personal relationships too. How many of us have had that question hammered into our consciousness? I would bet that most musicians, artists, actors, writers, missionaries, athletes, entrepreneurs, stay-home parents, and inventors have all had to deal with this question. After we are successful and the big money and fame is rolling in, then everyone says how brave and tenacious we were. After we change the world with our art, our incredibly successful children, our spiritual teachings, our new ideas and business concepts, then people say we are “lucky†to be one of the chosen few as if we didn’t really work all that hard to get to that successful place.
Until that day when we are fabulously wealthy and our industry grants us superstar status, we are deemed dreamers, unrealistic, illogical, and without real direction as we diligently toil away at our work until it’s worthy of acceptance as a “real job. †They see us as an overnight success or as complete failures. Until we are winners, our work is deemed as a hobby, a luxury, or as simply frivolous. tasking to a fine art. You can do anything you set your mind to and you know that already. You have become a master of juggling multiple responsibilities and you seem to be fairly successful at just about everything you do. So why aren’t you making the big bucks? Where is all that abundance and prosperity that being so multi- The question was originally asked in reference to having a spiritual calling and not knowing how to get to the point where you are actually serving humanity.
It is no different if you are an entrepreneur with an internal calling to successfully run your own company, a musician with a calling to perform on stage for large audiences, or a writer with a calling to see their books published. It’s really all the same. If you have a vision in your mind’s eye of yourself happy and successful while performing your daily work, then you have to figure out how to get there from where you are today. You can choose from three approaches. employed is so cool? They think that you get to take lots of vacation time and spend all of the profits. What they don’t realize is that you put in outrageous amounts of blood, sweat, and tears to get there. They don’t know that you have to take the blame for every single thin.
