Swimming Upstream?
Published: Sat, 03/13/21
Hi!
Albie here! Ever feel like your swimming upstream in your life or your business? I sure do sometimes (lol!).
Trout swim upstream and are really good at it! And we can learn from this.
Read this awesome quote by Jim Rohn:
“Discipline is the bridge between thought and accomplishment. Discipline comes to those with the awareness that for a kite to fly it must rise against the wind; that all good things are achieved by those who are willing to swim upstream; that drifting aimlessly through life only leads to bitterness and disappointment.” And then he added: “Discipline is the foundation on which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.
This is so true. You know the formula for earning online is not pursuing running after money. It’s pursuing running after becoming more skillful.
Just like trying to make a seed grow is useless, but watering it and getting better at protecting the seed and giving it what it needs, will allow it to grow. Developing your skills will bring you higher and better opportunities.
But developing your skills is not easy. You have to go outside of your comfort zone to grow and become better. And this can be painful. It’s what I can imagine “swimming upstream” feels like. It reminds me of the phrase “no pain, no gain.”
Did you know there’s an “expiration date” on giving an opportunity a “shot”? It’s usually about 3 months. People giving up after this. People usually start a new business expecting to get somewhere soon. But often this doesn’t happen – for multiple of reasons.
The most obvious reason is because people are not willing to put in the work to create the success. And the more upstream they feel they’re going, the more closer the expiration date looms closer. So how do you keep going against this tide? The best way is to “understand your enemy” so to speak. And your “enemy” is idleness and not taking advantage of pockets of time given us and not attempting to get better and achieve something each day. Also the enemy is discouragement. It’s not feeding yourself encouraging things but instead allowing yourself to get discouraged. So reading or listening to something encouraging each day is important.
Understanding that when you grow, it hurts and that growing means working towards becoming better. The good news is that if you keep “moving forward” and learning, digging in to get better all the time, eventually you will find success.
Honestly, I’ve been through a lot of pain online. Like in 2016 when I could not seem to get consistent online sales no matter how hard I tried. In 2017 I realized I just didn’t have enough effective advertisement for my business to grow properly. That took me year to learn on my own and effective communication took me three years. When I finally found a good mentor, I began to find the answers I needed
and to be truthful, success is found on a daily basis first. Completing each practical assignment successfully is the most obvious step toward success.
Here's a challenge that will encourage you to work towards your goals and I will be helping you so you don't have to spend years learning what I did! Check it out:
