You will never know how close you are if you don’t last another day.  You could be right on the brink of a breakthrough, yet you may want to give up.  You may want to quit right now, because you’re not getting enough traffic to your website.  Or you’re not making enough sales.  However, I implore you to hold on.  Hold on to your beliefs, the things you once held so dearly when you first began.  Don’t stop believing, don’t stop perservering.

I have so many stories I could share with you about giving up.  I have given up so many times in the past, that if I had of just waited a little while longer, I would be much further now.  Here’s my testimony about giving up, maybe you can identify with this.

There was this upstart financial group that was on the ground floor.  By that I mean the company was just getting started, and they had affiliates contacting folks to get them to join in this new home based business.  Well, I agreed to meet with this couple in my home, you know, give them an opportunity to show me what they had.  Well, I liked what they spoke to me about and I joined.

I worked for months and never got anyone to sign up under me.  Instead of perservering, keeping on and believing in myself, I got tired of failing so I quit.  I never made a dime.

I should have waited.

You know that couple who signed me up?  Well, they are young millionaires and living in a beautiful home outside of Atlanta.  Right down the street from superstar Whitney Houston.  I might not have been living on the same block, if I hadn’t given up, but I would have been in the neighborhood.

I vowed to never give up again! I made it up in my mind to ride a project until I can not ride any more!

My advice to you, is to never give up.  Recapture those beliefs, those dreams you first had when you started.  Don’t quit, don’t give up.  Believe and perservere.

Here is a cool short video about belief and perserverance, it’s called “Finish Strong.”

Or, you could purchase the book and DVD. Its perfect for those times when you need reminding, ‘don’t give up.’
