Don&#8217;t have enough time<br \/>\n2.    Don&#8217;t have enough money<br \/>\n3.    Spouse, Significant other, relative, or LIFE  (Birth, Death, Illness, layoff, Move, other)<\/p>\n<p>The #1 Reason people Quit&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;takes time away from family, friends, hobbies&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Truth is:  If someone were to get another part time job in order to make more money &#8211; they would have to take time away from family, friends, hobbies.  They would have to negotiate with family members for the time away, for someone else to do their chores, for the extra use of the car, for the extra expenses associated with clothing, travel related to the other job.  And what&#8217;s worse is &#8211; the time away would not be flexible&#8230;they would not be able to say to their new boss &#8211; &#8220;<em>I&#8217;ll be there right after I clean the garage, go to My kid&#8217;s game, take care of my sick cat, parent, etc&#8230;<\/em>&#8221;  So Yes absolutely you must have all those same negotiations when you decide to make the time to build your business.  We all have the same 24hours in a day and the great thing is that when you have your own business &#8211; you get to decide the business time vs family time.<\/p>\n<p>The #2 Reason people Quit&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Money<\/strong> &#8211; They say &#8220;can&#8217;t afford it&#8221; &#8230;in other words they fail to see any capital output as an investment in building their business.<\/p>\n<p>The Truth is:  Some businesses can be built for free.  As an independent contractor &#8211; example &#8211; real estate agent for Remax &#8211; After your initial courses and license fees you&#8217;ll have no employees, no overhead, no inventory, no advertising expense.  You simply build a network using the very best form of marketing &#8211; word of mouth.  Another example; there are about a dozen solid, reputable network marketing companies you can start with.  Insurance agent, Consultant, etc etc.  Only Consistent, Persistent, hard work is required to build a business from the comfort and safety of your home.  It&#8217;s called NetWORK Marketing.<\/p>\n<p>The #3 reason people Quit&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>LIFE<\/strong>  &#8211; Negative spouse, friend, relative.  Too old, too young.  Birth, death, divorce, illness, injury, layoff, move, and other life events.<\/p>\n<p>The Truth is: LIFE is WHY we do this business.  The same events happen to all of us. Some people use the &#8220;events&#8221; or &#8220;stuff&#8221; of life as reasons, excuses to play small, shrink or pull back.  Some people let their negative friends and family talk them out of their dreams and goals.  You and I use the same &#8220;events&#8221; or &#8220;stuff&#8221; as fuel, reasons to expand, grow, excel, succeed,   BE, DO and HAVE more.  It&#8217;s always our choice because;<\/p>\n<p><em>Life is WHY we do this business &#8211; because<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>It&#8217;s NEVER what happens to you &#8211; it&#8217;s ALWAYS what you DO about it<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow &#8211; How is it that the reasons for quitting are the same reasons they gave for starting?<\/p>\n<p>Live With Intention,<br \/>\nDr Bill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning Team &#8211; Here are the Top 3 reasons people Quit their business; 1.
