Don't Give Up So Easily

When you are working towards your goals, there comes a point when it gets hard. You don't seem to be progressing as much as you think you should be, or you are not progressing like you were at the beginning. You realize that you have hit a spot that is rather "slow", or "hard." As it continues, your frustration grows and you try to figure out what is going on, but you can't find a solution. A lot of people tend to give up at this point, but they are often times closer to where they want to be than they think. They just hit a plateau. This is usually the point where you may want to try working harder. One thing people eventually realize after giving up is that they were right there to meeting their goals.

Some of the places that are highly effected by this point in life is fitness and online business. A lot of people start their diet and fitness program with the object of getting in better shape, either losing fat or gaining muscle, or both. They find themselves making good progress at the beginning but somewhere along the way, maybe two or three weeks, they notice that their progress has slowed down. At that point they find themselves falling back into older habits which were destructive.

It's similar with online marketing. you put together your website or blog and you get affiliate links and you learn HTML and other stuff like that and you start getting excited. But after you have set your site up, you find out that getting the money is a different story. A lot of people at this point figure, "Well it doesn't work for me."

The best thing to do is to continue working and in some cases, read and find some different ways to get your goals closer to being fulfilled. Like in dieting, if you are taking the deprivation road instead of substitution road, you may find your progress short lived. It would be better to learn what you can about Nutrition.

The same goes for internet marketing. You have the site, now find out how you can get the traffic. Once you figure out the way past the plateau, you will find yourself almost falling towards your goal. The plateau was put there for you to figure out if this pursuit is what you really want. Giving up too easily, or throwing the towel too early is a sad thing to do in the goals you pursue, because often times, you end up realizing what you could've done to make it and you will regret not doing that and it will eat away at you for the coming days.
