key to success

I’ve gotta say, the last couple of days have been an overwhelming roller coaster rush.

As the end of the road gets near, frustration is arising.

The last mile before the finish line seems to be the hardest mile to get through.

I’ve started this project (a huge project actually) and it’s been quite the emotional battle.

I’ve put my heart into this project as it’s something i’ve always wanted for as long as I can remember.

I’m opening up my own business.  Now granted, I didn’t have a clue as to what the business would be about, but the category is health and the business is Bikram yoga.

This came about as I was looking for a new career after I made the unconscious decision that engineering wasn’t the choice for me.

Well, it was conscious, but the initial decision was not.  It was a slow development, but nonetheless, I did the deed and made a complete 180 with my life as I left my ’safe’ job.

I am now in the midst of my new studio with another teacher and it’s all ours.

I gotta say, it’s exciting and nervewrecking all at the same time and these last couple of weeks have been really taking it’s toll.

The days are going by much faster, and the progress is either slow as a turtle or a fast like the speed of lightning.

Either way, it is quite frustrating.

I feel like this in my journey through online marketing as well, but i’m nowhere near a ‘finish’.

These are just little steps towards bigger things.  I realize that my yoga studio, and my marketing will have there small learning lessons/journeys and i’ll learn new things through this process.

Whats the saying, it’s not the goal thats important.  In the end, it’s the journey…or something like that, lol.

My goal is to have multiple successful businesses both online and offline.  Now I know this isn’t going to happen overnight, but my commitment to both and my faith will definetely be a huge contribution to my success.

I’ve got mentors and supporters in everything I do, so really the only thing that can stop me would be me.

I love marketing, I sometimes wish I had more time but I just realized, i got home at midnight tonight, and was able to make this post around 1:30 am.  I’ll probably wake up around 6 or 7am and get more done.

I know what I have to do, and if my ego is put on the back burner, i’ll be able to succeed in everything I do.

My feelings about my life in the past are completely different from what they are now.  I have more drive, knowledge and a focus now as apposed to before where there was barely any focus.

However, I’ll always remind myself that once things get frustrating and a little overwhelming, it probably means that i’m nearing the end of something i’ve been going through, and about ready to begin the start of a new journey.

It’s my choice to either stick with my frustration and the anxiety that comes along with it continuing to chug along and get to the next hurdle, or quit.  But quitting isn’t an option for me anymore (as I did enough of that in my past).  I’ve taken that word out of my vocabulary and have made it a point to do whatever it takes to succeed.
