Don't Let Fear of Success Run Your Life

The biggest obstacle to becoming a successful small business owner is the stuff going on between our ears. Most of us are our own worst enemy when it comes to our thoughts and attitudes about success. Failure we are used to, and I know that sounds terrible, but it is true. The reason many small businesses fail is not that they don’t have a great product or service, or that they aren’t getting customers, it is because most people get discouraged and give up right before they reach the finish line. They let fear send them into a whole bad mindset.

I have been a small business owner since 1993 so I can say what I have said above with confidence and experience. I cannot count the times I got discouraged and wanted to just throw in the towel. But what I would do instead is to be aware that my crappy mind set was temporary. Step away for a day or two. Regroup when things get hairy.

One great way I get my motivation back after a meltdown is to read uplifting messages from some of my favorite authors and websites. One of those I would advise you to subscribe to is Lone Wolf. This website is not about business and it is free to join to receive their articles via email. It is the brutal truth about life and business and how to navigate our messy personalities and deal.

This article titled 12 Ways to Stop Fear of Success From Ruining Your Life was actually my inspiration for writing this blog post you are reading.

Take a few minutes and read it. I promise you will come away more motivated to make your small business succeed in spite of the stuff between your ears.

Make Money From Your Phone or Laptop--$5 Instant Cash for Signing Up!

I have been making a living from home for almost 12 years. When I started my freelance career, finding jobs was hard, there is a lot of competition for writing jobs.

So this is what I did while I looked for freelance writing clients. I honed my resume to perfection and I made money from these sites in between searching for jobs. It felt more like play than work, to be honest.

You can use your cell phone, tablet, laptop or desktop to make money with the following companies.

NOTE: Never pay to make money online. Any site that wants to charge you to make money is a scam. Period.

iSurvey World--Sign up for free and instantly make $5 sign up bonus. Take simple surveys that pay cash. Easy peezy.

Another survey site I really love is Vindale Research. They send interesting surveys delivered to your email address, some paying as much as $75!

View Fruit Survey Panel--especially fun to use on your phone, there is an app and they are always sending cool surveys.

Survey Junkie--another favorite of mine. This site was fun and I loved getting their surveys delivered to my email inbox. When you are worried about finding a great online job, checking your mail is something you do religiously.

Another thing I did while I was waiting to hear back from potential freelance jobs was to build a blog of my own. It was easy, fun, and has actually made me a lot of money over the years. If you are interested in creating a website or blog to sell stuff, host your writing portfolio, or whatever the reason, you should go for it! It is very empowering to own a web property. I use Blue Host to get started. It only cost $3.95 a month which is less than a cup of good coffee. Free domain name, free hosting, all you do is sign up and to some clicking to become an internet property owner. Don't be afraid because you don't have website building skills, anyone can build a website these days, just follow the bouncing ball!

Good luck in your freelance writing job search and good for you on finding ways to make money in the meantime.
