Treading water.....

Do you remember the cheesy joke about the guy who tries to swim across the Atlantic....gets half-way.... doesn't think he can make it to the other side, so he turns around and swims back! haha

Well some days I feel like that swimmer, not sure if I'll make it to my goal but I've gone too far to swim back....so on those days when I'm 'treading water' I try to keep these points in mind:

  • This is a career of my own choosing.
  • Compared with other businesses, it's really inexpensive to grow.
  • All undertakings are challenging in the beginning.
  • A positive affirmation will kick-start the day.
  • It's important to surround yourself with successful, upbeat people.
  • On a day when the phone does not ring, pick it up yourself.
  • Do something that makes you happy.....with me, it's playing my fiddle.
  • Remind myself that life is ever-changing.....this too shall pass.

There....I feel better already! Thanks for stopping by!

Excellent list!    You have an admirable proactive stance, here, and therefore are bound to be successful.   Focus and persistence do pay off.

Li....thanks for your encouragement......it really makes me feel empowered when a highly successful person like yourself gives a 'thumbs up'!

Hey Melva:  Thanks for the words of encouragement.  We all need more of it these days.

Tom....thanks for stopping by! [and I agree!] Have a great weekend!

thanks for the comments on my post Melva! - as long as I can remember we've used all the three categories, sold - active - expiries - for our comparables..........there might be the odd time the reason a listing has expired has not been related to price............but probably 99% of the time it is - i'd recommend using all three! :-)


Really good 'treading water list' ! ;-)
