Just this morning I was feeling little discouraged thinking\u00a0about whether I’m pulling together the tools\u00a0and relevant information that you, my audience, are looking for and need. Then I my inbox rang with an\u00a0encouraging note from one of you.<\/p>\n
We all need boost from time to time. Here’s what she said, “I finally watched your video about reconnecting to your personal vision- a good one–and so relevant! Thanks for sending it to my inbox. I love the enthusiasm with which you project yourself.”<\/p>\n

I was looking through my Facebook posts the other day and I was trying to see, “What is it that people are resonating with the most?<\/p>\n
What is standing out to people, that they are either, liking, or commenting on?”<\/p>\n
I realized that it was the posts where I offer encouragement. Either, I say something personally and just type up something short, or I share a quote that is encouraging.<\/p>\n
I realize that’s something that we all need, because we are not meant to take this journey alone. We’re not meant to be fighting our battles alone.<\/p>\n
So often we feel that way. We feel like we’re the only one in the world, who is facing this challenge and nobody understands.<\/p>\n
In fact a friend of mine, Katrin, commented on one of my posts. She said,<\/p>\n
What prompted you to say those things? What prompted you to share that?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I said,<\/p>\n
Well, I figured that if I need the encouragement, somebody out there must need it as well.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
She said it really meant a lot to her and it was something she needed right at that moment.<\/p>\n
I Wasn’t Sure If I Should Make This Confession About Myself<\/h3>\n
Actually, a couple of weeks ago I was talking to my coach.<\/p>\n
I explained to her that I felt discouraged that I wasn’t making it.<\/p>\n
You see, I’m still holding down a full time and I’m working on this business, with Coaching Really Works and the training videos that I’m putting together.<\/p>\n
This is what I want to be doing. This is where I want to spend all my time, but I’m in a position where my financial demands compared to where I’ve gotten in this business, is not enough for me at this time and I still need to full time job.<\/p>\n
That was weighing on me. I felt bad about it.<\/p>\n
But then I realized, there are a lot of you out there who are in a similar position.<\/p>\n
Maybe you’re working two jobs or three jobs. I don’t know.<\/p>\n
Maybe you just got fired.<\/p>\n
Maybe you’re trying to start a business and you can figure it out, or\u00a0get on your feet.<\/p>\n
Don’t worry. There are other people in the same position and they are fitting together with you, alongside of\u00a0you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n[shareable cite=”Abe Stone”]You’re gonna make it. Just hang in there.[\/shareable]\n
Here, I want to leave you with a few thoughts for those moments\u00a0when you’re discouraged.<\/p>\n
Maybe you can write these down.<\/p>\n
I’ll put a download here. You can print it out and carry it around with you.<\/p>\n[callout]Click to Download the cheatsheet. [\/callout]\n
1. YOU\u00a0can do it!<\/h3>\n
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe he can achieve. (Read Think and Grow Rich<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0Never give up.<\/h3>\n
Those who give up<\/a> never win.<\/p>\n
3. Sometimes, you just need to breathe<\/a>.<\/h3>\n
4. Get back up!<\/h3>\n
If you get pushed down, don’t stay down. Get up!<\/p>\n[offer-box href=”http:\/\/sostartover.com” linktext=”Reminder: Have you checked out my book? I just released \u201cSo?

5. Look at all that you have accomplished.<\/h3>\n
It might take a little bit of effort for you to see it, and recognize it, but really, think about it.<\/p>\n
What have you come through?<\/p>\n
What have you overcome?<\/p>\n
There’s been a lot in your life and you’ve done very well. You’re here today. You are breathing and alive and looking forward.<\/p>\n
So, look at what you’ve done and pay attention to the good that’s been done in your life.<\/p>\n
6. Work hard and smart and remember, it’s not gonna last forever.<\/h3>\n
Some people say, “Work smarter”, other people say, “You’ve gotta work harder.”<\/span><\/p>\n
I don’t think it’s either side that’s right. I think it’s a combination of both.<\/p>\n
You may have to work harder for a short time so that you can then work smart and not have so much work to do.<\/p>\n
Just remember-work hard and smart. It’s not gonna last forever.<\/p>\n
The next one is extremely important.<\/p>\n
7. Keep learning.<\/h3>\n
