Work at Home Success: Lessons From a 4-Year-Old
Article Summary: Have you noticed how kids don't take "no" for an answer? Especially when they really want something. When you are first trying to find work from home success, you should run your online business like a 4-year-old. Decide what you want. Take action towards your prize until you get it. Don't take no for an answer. Not from your friends, yourself, or the marketplace. The only way to fail is to quit.
Last weekend I took my kids to Kansas City to visit their cousins. In the middle of our four hour drive home, we stopped at Sonic for slushy drinks.
As usual, about halfway through our drinks my 4-year-old wanted to trade drinks with me. She has a way of drinking all the slushy up before the ice melts. So, I've taught her to tap her straw against the ice to loosen it up and melt the ice faster. Thanks to this technique, she returned my drink to me with a hole in the side where her aggressive straw tapping had penetrated the cup.
With blue slushy steadily dripping onto my tan pants, I displayed one of my finer parenting moments.
"Next time you drink my slushy don't take the lid off," I said. "Actually, don't ever ask me for my slushy again," I concluded.
Not an hour later, with complete confidence, comes her voice from the back -- "can I have your slushy?" "No. It has a hole in it. I can't hand it back to you." "Who are you and where is my child I just told never to ask for my slushy again?" I wondered.
An hour later, we're home. In the midst of putting things away, comes my 4-year-old's voice again. Without hesitation or apology, she says, "mom, your slushy's almost all gone." I turn to see her sitting at the table, drinking my slushy. With the lid off.
My first thought was, wow, I want to be more like my 4-year-old. She wanted my slushy. She pursued it with confidence, knowing she would get it. Hearing "no" wasn't even a bump in the road to her slushy obtaining success. And, in the end, she got it.
How many of us operate like a 4-year-old in our online business? How many people continue to say they're working an online business, but don't really believe it will ever lead them to financial freedom? I mean REALLY believe it. How many people have quit because they failed to achieve work from home success on their first try? "This work from home stuff doesn't work," they proclaim.
When you are first trying to find work from home success, run your online business like a 4-year-old. Decide what you want. (What's your "slushy?") Don't stop until you get it.
Press forward with confidence. Unphased by friends who say you can't make it. Undeterred by the fact that your first promotion resulted in one sale. Undaunted by all the work from home ebooks and courses you've bought in the past and never even opened.
Don't take "no" for an answer. Not from your friends, yourself, or the marketplace.
Decide what you want and simply don't quit taking action towards your prize until you get it. The immediate results of your action are irrelevant. The only possible way to fail is to quit.
