Some Cave In; Some Bounce Back
There are always people that at the first signs of stress or pressure cave in to the circumstances around them. They immediately throw in the towel and give up. There are also people that when the going gets tough, keep going and get better. What is it that sets these types of people apart?
The answer is simple. The people who give up, throw in the towel and decide it is okay to fail didn't have the motivation they needed to begin with. The reasons why they do what they do weren't or aren't compelling enough for them to rise to the occasion and make a winning situation no matter what. They allow their circumstances to control them, rather than control their circumstances.
Those people who seem to get better when things go wrong, who stand up tall and enter the fight have the stamina and drive to continue forging ahead to meet their goals because their reasons for doing so are more compelling to them. They know how to stick to a commitment and aren't afraid of a bump in the road. They keep their eye on the prize the whole time.
Have a Compelling Reason
As you begin a business endeavor you must make it a priority that has your commitment and devotion. This means that every minute of every day you need to be thinking and moving towards your goal. When you figure out your reason for succeeding that has to remain the one thought that keeps you moving and allows you to keep trying when things get rough.
If you are moving in a new direction and are all excited about the possibilities then you are probably dissatisfied with your current state of affair. If money and vacations are what you covet and you are determined to make things happen to do so your efforts may eventually stall out.
While material possessions are of great importance they cant be the only element that fuels your "why." Once you get all the things you want, your purpose will be gone and with it, your drive and determination. Think outside of the box and make reasons that are compelling on your various levels of existence so you will never run out of reasons to keep your nose to the grindstone. Set high goals that are inclusive of not just vacations, but the reasons "why" you want those vacations as well.
Consider the phenomena regarding those who retire and suddenly experience progressive illness and early death? Research has shown that employees who retire at age 55 have almost double the mortality risk of those who continued working into their 60s. It's because they lost their sense of purpose for living.

If this is you than it is obvious that your "why" or your compelling reason to continue was not big enough for you to manifest your dreams into reality.

If your why isn't big enough to drive you to do something significant with your life, then you probably won't! You may start, but you seldom finish.
Look for the Signs.

procrastination embarrassment self-doubt indecisiveness confusion fear of making mistakes fear of failure apathy all talk; no action inconsistent in actions
Motivational speaker, philosopher and author, Jim Rohn says it best:
"When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it."
That's an apt description of having a big why.
